  1. I could care less where it comes from. Pony up, make a commitment to clean your crap up IF something happens, commit to supporting the people who's livelyhoods get destroyed. SHARE THE RISK! It's a very simple, basic business principle. I feel like the feds and Notley know exactly nothing about &^@# all. No concept of how to make deal. Bully tactics get the long play and that is exactly what Horigan is doing. As it stands, the only thing BC is getting out of this deal is risk. Ultimately the decision will be made by the First Nation's. If they're consulted and in agreement it will go through. Horigan needs to have a better deal for BC before anything comes from the FN. Why was northern Gateway shut down, I don't remember exactly?
  2. Hence the "IF". You guys are still arguing from the bully's position. Share the &^@#ing risk and give us a better cut. It's really quite simple
  3. The thing is, neither the feds nor Alberta are willing to share the risk. BC is left holding the bag IF there's a spill, and that's utter bull$&!#. BC'ers who live on the coast will be paying the price IF a spill occurs. Not all of these Canadians who supposedly support the pipeline. They'll send thoughts and prayers. Cute. We'll be dealing with the mess for decades. Ruining the lives of countless residents who rely on the ocean, whether from fisheries or tourism, destroy natural habitats, ruin our enjoyment of our beaches. The feds and Alberta can start by making a massive commitment of a $1b environmental trust fund and promise the use of our Armed Forces to clean it up. Also, we want a bigger piece of your even bigger pie. We're the one's assuming all the risk for pretty much nothing. &^@# that $&!#. &^@# Alberta and &^@# Trudeau
  4. Although my comment was tongue in cheek, I totally agree.
  5. I haven't been there in the summer since ever, so there may be some buildings / bunkers open. I won't pay to visit that place though. It's absolute crap that Canadians are charged for access to their own parks. So we only go in the winter and walk right in. (Victoria winter. - Smiles and laughs)
  6. You could actually get into a lot of the old big boy toys. It resembles more of a private school than a military base these days. Big useless lawn with some lame wooden tent sized cabins tourists can "camp" in. All the buildings are bolted shut. Gentrified tourist trap
  7. Oh man. I used to love Fort Rod Hill back in the day. Playing war, jumping out and scaring the hell out of tourists, smoking doobs in the bunkers.. But that place just sucks now. I have no idea why my son always wants me to take him out there..lol
  8. Comfortable and rich are very different. Tonnes of rich geezers on the Gulf Island's these days. They're all from Vancouver or California
  9. You shoulda seen him at the six mile pub.
  10. My bad, I'm still not gender neutral enough to think of a man with balls big enough to say "&^@# you Justin, and you can suck it, Rachel" a waitress.
  11. Disagree on the "rich lazy" part. The majority are hard working, underpaid stoners.
  12. Horigan hates liberals and in order to hold onto his power he needs to keep the greens happy. Getting spanked by daddy only helps his cause. What he really wants is the belt so he can show the old geezer that $&!# doesn't even hurt. He's an Island boy, we're a weird bunch of masocists.
  13. I'm sure we could take a page from Alberta's "How to be a dick" handbook. There will be lots of ridiculous tit for tat chest thumping. Guaranteed
  14. Not only that. Nothing landing in BC will make its way to Alberta. Montreal or bust (for Alberta)
  15. Lol No need to be shortsighted though. No victory without sacrifice. There would be an adjustment period obviously, but it would pay off
  16. I understand that way of thinking, chon, and I don't agree. The market will adjust though. It won't matter that China doesn't want our lumber because they don't buy finished products.A anyways. They build them on the cheap. &^@# china. There's a market for our softwood right here at home. I'm sure it will be a bit of a struggle at first, but at the same time, if our government had anything resembling a nut sack they'd have already taken a more protectionist stance in regards to our resources. As in- Canadian contractors can't buy boards from anywhere other than Canadian manufacturers. We'll take care of all that wood on our own and every last dollar generated will stay in Canada.
  17. Because it's the bottom of the barrel. Takes the most resources to refine. But point taken, garbage wasn't the right word
  18. Only because it's heavily discounted. I'm all for cheaper gas, but if we have to provide some beneficial export to satisfy the market, why not have a heavy or light crude refinery as well. At least we're processing it here and actually employing Canadians while exporting a more valuable commodity than our garbage dilbit.
  19. I get that. The point is - our oil isn't all that attractive to the marketplace. Without a deepwater port that can accomodate supertankers, how much longer will our oil even make it to market? I've said it time and time again, we shouldn't be exporting any unrefined or unfinished natural resources.
