The question is ... are B.C. voters about to shoot themselves in the foot even more by electing an NDP government?

BC will soon want a "fair share" of those exports shipped through Vancouver, 'cause well Sask is doing better than BC. Just sayin'. Either that or a inconvenient longshoreman's strike. It's happened before.

BC is going to crash hard when Adrian Dix is finished with it.

Good news. I would like to see any extra money from increased tax revenues used to pay off the debt before we go all Alberta and start spending like crazy.

BTW, how long before the Sask NDP claims credit for this success? After all, they'll say, those industries were originally created as Crown Corps. "Where's our fair share because you didn't build that" etc.

As for BC...Go Green, Go Broke is something they might want to consider. Talk to Cali and Ontario for details.

Can we borrow Brad for a year or two so he can straighten out the whackos running and ruining the show here?

We'll take good care of him and send him back, promise.

Yes,B.C. is going to elect an NDP government. People have short memories. The Federal Liberals always acted on that belief,and it worked for many years to their advantage.

And the Liberals will not do anything about the issues most of us are concerned about,carbon tax,subsidizing windmills, cost of electricity soaring since the installation of "smart" meters,and last,and MOST important, Christy Clark's naive pandering to the Left with her new anti-NG pipeline rhetoric.

The dumb bastards in Victoria and the Lower Mainland actually think tourism drives the Province's economy,and most of them have no problem with shutting down the oil and gas industry.

So,yes, it's on to another round of NDP driving business to Alberta. Start building in Calgary,folks.

The headline is slightly out of date - an anonymous grow-op operator has complained to our local (BC) paper that the last three years have seen very poor crops. Only in BC can a crook complain to the media about the weather (maybe the #$@% carbon tax is working unintended consequences and we're in for a long cold soak and further poor crop yields).

BC and sask to be on divergent paths. We're about to have an NDP government. Did you bastards boot out your leftists and send them to us or something?

This whole concept of holding resource exports hostage for money has me thinking. If the coastal waters are federal, what is stopping the feds from telling Clark that there will be an export levy on everything that they want to ship out of port unless she gets her head on straight. Enough of these welfare bums trying to panhandle the productive provinces!

What set you free said @ 11:42.

Alberta doesn't give a hoot about BC getting any oil money or benefits now. In fact we now mostly don't care where the pipeline is built. Cristy Clark of greed-ville just hung herself on that one.
We have more attractive offers now from the Yukon, NWT, to North Dakota. Even Eastern Canada. She has gained nothing in the polls but lost billions of revenue. Hope your happy BC. Just think you can continue to provide the synthetic heron for natives with all their freebies (Housing , trucks , ski-doos, cars, Big Screen TVs especially.) with your own monies, while feeling satisfied you did a dirty to Alberta lol (O:{}

Yes, BC is going to elect the NDP and ruin our economy - for the third time in my working life.

The drift left seems to hold such an appeal for the simple, lazy, or greedy.

The Fiberals have drifted left since the 2005 election, and Gordo's drunk driving adventure in Maui. The current bunch are NDP lite in all their policies, and deserve to get trounced from office, unfortunately meaning a communist/union government.

Chrusty Clark is unfit to govern, she is a political whore, no policies, no knowledge, no scruples, no morals, but free to pander to any issue that she hopes her tight sweater will look appealing in.

There is an alternative, the Conservatives, but so long as 20% cling to the failure of the Fiberals, the NDP is coming.

And yeah, I'm voting Conservative, and will hope we can survive another round with commies, and that they will once again prove, to the stupid portion of the voting public, that they are also unfit to govern.

Looking for blame? Find Gordon Campbell, the architect of the HST, the carbon tax, and all the other lefty liberal stupidity that has infected this excuse for a government.

Too bad for you stubble-jumpers that a chunk of your hard work and smarts will be sent east - to subsidize the dickheads who voted for The Dildo and the likes of NDPiste...

Not tryin' to stir the pot, or anything... ;)

More exports for Saskatchewan. It has only 1/4 the population. I B.C. they must flip a lot of burgers for each other. They must love tourism in B.C. and all the minimum wage jobs that come with it.

If it can't be moved by bicycle,southern BC doesn't want it. That's the mindset. All fossil fuel is evil. Industry is evil. Harper is evil. Mulcair is good. Gay is good and all drugs are good. California north without the climate but the mentality is about the same.

Having lived through the Harcourt / Glen Clark / Dosanjh decade, yes to the above. The NDP will kill any nascent BZc recovery. OTH, there is a lot more undocumented cash washing around the province than most realize. A source I trust, tells me that the cash from chinese money laundering of downtown Van condos and the pot trade are EACH equal to the official BC GDP. That's a lot of wiggle room for a socialist government.

As another BCer I am beside myself with the thought of another NDP government. The lack of political leadership in this province is more than discouraging.

The one thing the Dippers have is a united party between the provincial and federal sides, for that matter municipal as well. The federal CPC is showing no leadership what so ever in this regard. This isn't new under Harper and goes back for decades. What I find hard to take was that we were on the way to provincial Reform parties before Manning moved east. Conservative thought would have been well served with provincial branches that promoted united policies.

Because of this lack of unity left wingers like Redford and Clark have infilitrated the movement and swung policy to the left. The political realty for many such people is to take over from within because their liberal creditentials will never get them elected otherwise.

So we will go into a provincial election with a divided right and the Dippers will win. Clark tries to galvanize support by picking a fight with AB over pipeline revenues not because she thinks it is justified but because she thinks she will gain political support from the left. The cynicism of that does not escape BC voters. (At least those in the interior)

Those of you in BC..(INterior), you have my sympathy for the coming disaster in NDP's in Victoria. Look to Ontario to see where you will likely end up....DEEP deep in the hole. And sad really..so freakin sad. A province that should be the GDP Champion on the planet, let alone Canada. Yea we have bitumen here in Ab...but look at what you all have there: Every mineral in the book, PLUS Nat Gas + Hydro..jesus. But the on the other end of the stick is that in La La Land (the lower mainland)..its just like Coastal California.

Bon Chance...and for those of you that want to work..comon over, we need ya.
