lex Macdonald, once the top aide to the late Alberta Liberal leader Laurence Decore, has an idea that could make B.C. Premier John Horgan collapse in a faint.
Oilsands companies, Macdonald says, should stop buying supplies and services from firms in British Columbia.
Now, that would hurt.
There are 738 such suppliers in B.C. They bill oilsands outfits for $1.3 billion a year, according to figures updated to early 2017 by the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.
More than 400 companies in Fort St. John send their bills to Alberta. There are 141 suppliers in Vancouver and even, if you can believe it, 78 in Burnaby, the terminus city and heart of pipeline resistance.

Now I don't think you target Fort St. John or the North East region of BC - I think they are overwhelmingly pro pipeline - but the ones in Burnaby?
