Theres a lot of human resources crossover between the Alberta and BC NDP so why the appearance of surprise?
"Appearance"?
It's like if we told BC to dismantle every last hydro dams, or we'd cut your hydroelectricity lines running through our province. You're hurting the Peace River. How dare you. And we'll halt your natural gas exports through Alberta as well. Happy? Does BC really want to keep violating the Constitution?
Is it really that much to ask for these companies that will be exporting oil off BC's coast to show safe practices and appropriate ability to clean up after the high likelihood of a spill due to triple the shipments?
Don't you realize the spill response planning would be top notch, by law?
It really isn't like that at all. We aren't asking Alberta to shut down any power plants. This isn't a parallel comparison at all. It would be more like suggesting that you won't let BC timber pass through AB unless we pay for and take full responsibility for any disasters that occur in so doing. Except lumber isn't going to cause irreparable environmental damage.
It is exactly like that. The Peace flows through our province, you built dams and ruined it, now we cut your power transmission from those dams. Our government is examining exactly that scenario.
No. Energy production and resource export are different things. Anyone outside the rhetorical bubble you've been living in can see that clear as the noonday sun. What your province is considering is economic revenge, not parallel treatment.
