you can't say that geopolitical zone A is exempt from the issues just because they drink mroe of the union kool-aid than geopolitical zone B, it soes not wash, and that is not what i was saying.

That's not what I'm saying either. I know what you're saying, you're talking about economic repercussions of having too many unionized companies driving up wages etc. What I am saying is that unions are needed in certain areas. Unions as a whole don't work in BC because they're used to extreme, which is why you get the issues you're talking about. Unions used properly (to ensure fair compensation and decent working conditions ONLY, not to make sure people can sit on CP all day and get paid $20/hour.) do NOT cause these issues. Has having unions hurt the economy in Alberta? No. What makes BC different?
