I have news for you LouisRiel...without the oil and gas industry you don't have any upkeep for your paved bike paths and roads. You don't have free health care premiums. Northeast BC has been supporting you for years and you have no clue about that.. Being BC born and raised I respect the concern for the coast but I don't understand how anyone with a conscience can say pull all the oil from Middle East...have you seen how the ruling families treat the average people and especially the workers (mostly foreigners) over there? it's despicable. but that doesn't matter because it doesn't affect you.
