First we all say we’re going to build things then we elect someone who says “yeah let’s build things” then we all lose our mind the moment that same person suggest in the most tentative way possible that we can build something
Politician who said we need to build during the election campaign, is doing what he said we would be doing, and everyone is surprise pikachu face? Lol.
A) 70% of Canadian oil dividends go international, 60% to the US. This is not to the benefit for Canadians.
B) Oil and gas likely won’t be economical feasible in 10-15 years. Renewables/ batteries improved 90% over the past 15 years, what happens in the next? They are already nearly the best choice everywhere.
C) Why risk BC forestry, Fishing and tourism all in one plan?
Yes we should build, but not oil. Pick literally almost anything else.
The tanker ban off BC’s north coast doesn’t exist as some ideological anti-oil hippie screed. It exists because of the extant dangers of transporting oil through those waters.
The risk to BC in terms of ecology and finances is very real and deserves the highest regard.
