Does it? As a province we/our elected representatives have decided to put up with the inconvenience of oil/gas drilling for the huge financial benefits we get from it (royalties, etc). Granted there are more people being mildly inconvenienced here (myself included), but the principle that nimby-ism doesn't run the province is important, imo. I value the healthcare/education/low taxes we get from our billions of dollars of resource revenue every year.
