Well, I understand this. But it does show the complete rural /urban divide in BC. Rural people see the jobs and wealth provided by resource industries and resource projects. Urban people don't, and don't think they matter - they'd rather see the rest of BC set aside as a park, for their enjoyment if they ever travel beyond Hope.

I think there needs to be a balance, but all I see are the NDP and Greens pandering completely to urban concerns, and being downright hostile to the jobs and industries that bring jobs and wealth to the rest of BC. I hope they'll prove me wrong, but I doubt it.
