I might be wrong but most people are not saying we should stop all natural resource practices its just the way its done that is the issue. Dont put fish farms on migration routes, dont allow raw log exports, dont ship raw bitumen, dont allow logging company's to monitor themselves,dont allow mines in highly ecological sensitive places. Our bc government should be fighting for the these things and the liberals support and go along with Ottawa doing whatever id told of them.
We all know and love what we have here we just dont want to see it exploited. I think thats what people feel are what the liberals are letting happen.
Exactly right fish stalker. For some on here if you say you are against the Northern Gateway, you are immediately branded with a dumb deluded right wing stereotype as a "granola chewing, birkenstock wearing, welfare bums" or some such inane comment.
Such people have not read the pipeline hearings. Over 1100 people spoke out against the pipeline and only 2 for! And if the cheer section for selling out the entire BC coast cared to read those oral submissions, they were from doctors, lawyers, whale watching business owners, tourism operators, engineers, seamen, and even a few oil men and dozens of ordinary working men and women!

Liberals or no liberals, that damn pipeline will never be built because the people of BC, as represented by those 1100 people who took the trouble to stand up at the hearings, and the First Nations will see to that! And I will be fighting against it too. Our coast, our existing industries and our fish are far too important to who we are and to our culture and way of life to sell out to Alberta and China!
