Ugh just stop with this already. One virtue-signaling small town mayor does not represent the whole of BC

What about your provincial government? Surely they must represent the electorate?

^ They obviously don't, especially Northern BC and the interior. They lead via a coalition of minority parties don't they?
Still though, spending money in BC / on BC products sends money to Horgan and I'm more reluctant to do that now given this Whistler mayor's views on things.

He does not, but it's undeniable this sort of sentiment is widespread here. At least in Vancouver, I can't speak for smaller towns.

I think you misunderstood my post, I was only talking about Mayor McCheese and his actions here.

Actually...i dont think they do.
It is a government hanging on by the skin of their teeth and 3 MP's who are committed to the crusade of anything industrial is bad. Well as long as its industry they dont directly benefit from, because then its A-OK.
Farcical situation.

No, sorry. 1 seat majority coalition that won 40% of the vote and caters to 3 Green MLAs. Plus every poll in BC on Trans Mountain has shown clear majority support.
But my main point is that this action is so obviously stupid and outside of the mainstream that I’m sure even many anti-pipeline folks would not sign on the dotted line.

Lol, what a dips***. "We consume oil and gas, but you produce it. So I blame you for climate change! Give us money so we can consume more oil and gas!"

It's behind a paywall but the Globe and Mail is reporting that energy companies are beginning to pull out of the Whistler conference. That mayor is an idiot.

That is great news and I suspect will get substantial coverage across Canada.

FYI, you can read these types of articles if you add it to your reading list in Safari. I assume it works the same in Chrome.

Just heard tonight, at an event for oil and gas, that Murray Edwards and Bill Gates have apparently partnered on a carbon capture and sequestration project in Squamish BC. Down the road from this capital M Moron.
The guy he sent the letter to has already done far, far, far, far, FAR MORE, than he has ever done to fight climate change. Hopefully the media picks this up.
This buffoon should be used as the symbol of the many, many people out in western BC that share uneducated and extremely ignorant positions on energy and where it comes from.
The (large) majority of people from BC are not this stupid (hopefully????!) yet their government has, literally, destroyed so much value for no tangible good reason it is unbelievable.
We are destroying our own country. Our own economy and honestly- straight up- mostly due to BC. Due to uneducated buffoons like this absolute idiot. We laugh and jest, but the truth is. This ideology and belief system that is SO OFF BASE and so absolutely ridiculous, is more mainstream than people would like to believe.
At the end of the day, these people, like this mayor, are wrong. Absolutely and unequivocally wrong.
If you are a true heart of hearts environmentalist you should be 1000% FOR Canadian energy. If you are against Canadian pipelines or energy, my conclusion is that you actually hate the planet. Or are extremely uneducated. The people of BC have been living at the peak of Maslows hierarchy of needs for so long, and have had life so good for so long- that they are now detached from reality and have become extremist in thought, ideology and now- obviously- behaviour.
How on earth does the mayor of Whistler, write something so profoundly idiotic???? This would be like Nenshi saying we should construct the Green Line CTrain out of KitKat bars but being serious about it.

Vancouver is the largest coal port in North America.
Whatever the coal industry is doing to fly under the radar is pretty impressive.
Now excuse me while I go sue people that burn oil to drive or fly to Whistler.

Everything comes back to the visual of an oil spill.
Easy to show on the news, or a photo in a newspaper.
Easy to sell.
It’s all a bunch of bull####.
