Lumber, seafood, fruits and vegetables.

BC exports to Alberta exceeded BC Exports to China
Natural gas is possibly the biggest one.
The article above talks about polling trains on the way to BC.
I tend to think that after Notley got nothing for the BC Wine ban and pulled it, that it would be the logical place to start again.
But none of this is going to happen.
Instead this whole Transmountain thing is going to be fought in the courts for years and years to come.
Environmental Groups are already preparing lawsuits pointing at insufficient consultation once the consultation period ends. Basically there was never any intent by those groups to allow the consultations happen in good faith.
The minute the report is released unless its a clear killing of transmountain the courts will be stacked with lawsuits from opposing indigenous groups and environmental groups seeking to have the approval quashed.
There will also be a push to have the whole thing studied under the new processes that will be unleashed under Bill C-69 once its passed into law. If that happens, Trans-mountain will be shelved for years.
