BC has no right to set up blockades against other provinces. People in Alberta don't get money by living in Alberta, they get it from working. Go there and get a job if you need to. why do you make it so easy? BC real estate has no bearing on the KM issue at all. What 'blockade'? wtf are you even talking about? See this right here is the problem, if BC doesn't do exactly what AB wants then you whine and pout and start talking crazy. You just don't seem to get the concept of a business partner. I suppose that comes from easy money in oil. I've done well in BC, thankfully don't need to move to Calgary. Granted I don't buy a lot of boats or trucks, but still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are correct polls this far out from the election don't mean much of anything. A lot can and will happen between now and then.

HI5 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I don’t pay much attention to politics, nor do I have vast knowledge on these issues. But this was forwarded to me yesterday and I figured you guys may need more material for debate. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why I don't want to see AB be allowed to drive up BC gas prices so they can ship 100% dil bit through the KM pipeline. It won't create more than a literal handful of BC jobs, and the royalties to BC are peanuts compared to people paying $75 more a week to fill their tanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobs are jobs whether they are in BC or Alberta. They are for all Canadians. If you're jealous of the Alberta Government, don't be. They take in about enough revenue from O&G to build new neighborhood infrastructure for the jobless BC immigrants you want to leave desolate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So then why is the Alberta legacy fund at the same level per capita as it was in 1976 Complete mismanagement has occured in Alberta. No wonder they switched over and elected a NDP government. Maybe finally some proper financial management can happen in Alberta.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsurrey Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) People from BC that have moved to Alberta are a bit screwed now.. Alberta economy tanked / real estate tanked..... Housing prices crashed.... Meanwhile BC homes went up 400,000 dollars... People that have stayed in BC / invested in BC are way better off. Try moving back to BC now and purchasing real estate here.... Moral of the story.... never move to a boom and bust economy region.......

BC actually gets some very high skilled immigrants, particularly thanks to Trump these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxic dirty bitumen that can not be properly cleaned up from our ocean if / when spilled..... NO THANKS. I don't think they give a $&!# about spills, its all just lip service. No any one on the right has suggested any real solutions or attempted to address the concerns of those in this thread. All they do is screech "MUHH Alberta" and "MUHH Pipeline". They didn't manage to get jack built when they had a majority for years under Harper, now they think they can shoehorn this project just because they have support from a Liberal PM. The reason why the right doesn't manage to get anything built in this country is because they are as my friend FTG would put it being "complete idiots". They just yell out emotional arguments. We all want to see ALL of this country prosper, unfortunately one side wants to do it while sacrificing a vital resource of a province to get there. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you're happy youth in Vancouver will never own a home and have to move away all because you would rather chinese citizens inflate your real estate market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofsurrey Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 KInder Morgan Pipeline is dead in its tracks. Project makes zero sense. From Van Sun. Over the past six years, Kinder Morgan has approached 133 First Nations and Indigenous groups in both B.C. and Alberta. The company would not have been seeking consent or partnerships with all 133, some of which are well beyond the pipeline route and the route of all future tankers. Nevertheless, only 43 have inked mutual benefit agreements with the company, 33 of which are in B.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
