Hope there is a big bar-b-que, nothing like propane and propane accessories, please don't burn wood in the campfires (sequestered carbon don't you know) Hope everyone drives a vehicle, preferably one for every elder, nothing like gas to get you where you want to go. Most of all I hope I can contribute in some small way to the party, somehow as a working tax paying Canadian I think I already have. So please have a drink on me. I guess its back to Nigeria for Shell, where the business is easier.

Tell that to Kinder-Morgan, pipelining through Jasper National Park right now, going above and beyond, spending many extra millions to prove that the oil industry can do its work and leave a national treasure better off than it was before. Or tell it to the past president of an oil company I worked for who now works for Chevron, donated both his time and money to the United Way, still does. Ya corporations and the people who run them are the epitomy of evil.

The only resources humans need can be made with far more natural products in far less destructive ways and its the oil companies and the subsidies the government gives them that prevent these things from taking root. Corporations have no conscience, they think profit, profit, profit. I'm in BC and canada in a depression would certainly snap this nation out of its political apathy, which may to be to little to late anyways. Enjoy your 51st state.

Just a note, you should change the title to "British Columbia: Niger North?" - Niger is clearly a different country than Nigeria.

So how long until you turn in your car for a horse? They WERE are resources until the govornment (on our behalf) sold them for large sums of money that help run our beautiful province. These companies then gain the right to explore and develop these resources and in doing so pay more money to the govornment for what they extract as well as employ a good part of the whole country, as people from every province travel to work in the oilpatch No oilpatch work = loss of work nation wide

Can't wait until my laptop comes with wooden keys and plywood hard drive. Tell you what surfer you give up everything made possible by hyrocarbon extraction then send me a picture. Wish I had faith that you do in the dreamworld you are living in. Thought the discussion had to do with CBM wells, show me the poisoned water.The oil sands are what they are. Don't suppose anyone told you cancer rates were on the rise ever since the Peace River was dammed 35 years ago and the natural flood cycle lost
