Also no doubt it was a stereotype but I don't think it's too far off base that a lot of the people who have the energy to get outraged about stuff like this and spend their time going to public forums and letter writing to govt employees are a little bit of a different breed and tend to drown out a lot of others with their pitch and "enthusiasm". Vocal minority is a good way of putting it. Valid perspectives but for me I don't find that public consultations are a very balanced or democratic process. For me folks got elected to govern and they are accountable through elections if they stay within their mandate and the law - they should vote and move on.

You don't think that reading a bunch of other posters on a Flames forum might constitute a vocal minority?
The myopia is astounding.
