  1. I stopped going to BC to spend money 15 years ago. If Wexit happens, the BC Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island are not welcome to join as far as I’m concerned. They can figure out how to exist as an exclave; or join the socialist paradise of the US state of Washington.

    1. Just give it to China. They own most of it anyway, build a wall segregating Vancouver and then sell whats remaining to China to pay for the wall.

  2. Like I wrote in another thread, it would have to be in B. C., the province where logic goes to die.

    I’ve never encountered that sort of hostility when I drove to my house in B. C. Then again, people often drive to Grande Prairie because that’s the closest city where certain facilities and services are. My late father had some medical tests done there because Prince George was probably considered to be too far away.

  3. The sure fracking love coming across the border for jobs and can’t WAIT to take our money for tourism, produce and wine…Lot of BC plates around Edmonton.

    I am very picky about where my stuff comes from, I have a hierarchy of places I will pay money to for stuff. Sometimes, I don’t have a choice. But sometimes I do. And I pay close attention to who our friends are and have a long memory.

    Me too.And china is tops on my list.

  5. and then there’s those covid reducing Glory Holes. Kriste those NDPEE’rs are stupid

  6. Sadly there are rude people everywhere, all the time.

    This doesn’t surprise me one bit. Want to see the opposite? There are cars with BC plates here in Alberta all the time. Just check the parking lot at any Costco in Alberta. I have seen many in the Okotoks Costco parking lot over the years when there was much prosperity due a functional Canadian economy. (These stores are so busy in Calgary that many Calgarians shop outside the city)

    The BC people would load up to the roof with small and big ticket items like sheds and furniture items to avoid paying provincial taxes in the BC stores.

    Want to see more rude folks? Go East. Some of them live in Quebec.

  7. It’s just a fad. The Chinese who own everything in BC, including the politicians have other priorities.

  8. The whole license plate thing is so freaking dumb. Albertans who move to BC keep Alberta plates as long as humanly possible to pay less than half for their insurance.

  9. Trailer a boat to fernie with Albertan plates…….. nothing good comes of it , asshole BC guides come and hit the bow when the elk is blown . Don’t get get me started on “special licences “ to fish , not going back anytime soon .

  10. Horgan is a POS that Victoria preferred not to flush into the ocean so instead they elected him. There are a lot of sanctimonious Green and brain-dead NDPers in BC but I would guess that better than half of the province would side with Alberta in most things including western separation.

    1. I think you’d have a hard time finding someone who isn’t conservative in the Peace country. Alberta’s only an hour and a half’s drive from Fort St. John.

  11. I used to do quite a bit of work in BC over the last 40 years, drilling oil and gas wells, working mining properties. There weren’t a lot of BC oil and gas companies to work for and the BC .gov doesn’t drill wells on their own. BC geologists worked for AB oil and gas companies in Calgary, or moved east where mining wasn’t yet a “sin”. All done for Calgary based oil and gas companies, or Tronna based mining interests. Alberta is stymied shipping their “dirty oil” product out of the Port of Vancouver due to pipeline strangulation, while BC ships13 million tonnes of obviously cleaner coal annually, over BC track beds to a terminal just a stone’s throw from downtown Vancouver. Some of it from BC mines. Alberta supplies every drop of propane, diesel, jet fuel and grades of gasoline, or lubricants that gets used in BC and a goodly chunk of Washington State, plus points east as far as Kaybec. You fill up in Vancouver or 15 minutes south in Blaine WA, it’s all Alberta crude dude. No word of a lie.
    John Horgan (and Rachel) and his NDP commies would be up the creek if Alberta decided to pull the plug on BC and Liz May would be stuck on Salt Spring Island. Not necessarily a bad thing. Vancouver would have to walk uphill to British Properties and those Whistler ski trips are an even longer walk.
    I’m surprised that John doesn’t speak Mandarin, yet.

    1. Don’t forget that much of B. C. gets its electricity from the Bennett Dam. One can follow the transmission line all the way from Hudson’s Hope to Prince George and can then go either to Prince Rupert or south.

      Let a compressor station along the pipeline from the Fort St. John area shut down and Lotusland can’t take any hot showers as there wouldn’t be any natural gas.

      2. Nope. We sell a lot to Japan and South Korea, and India is growing. China had said that they wanted all that Canada could produce, but then started coming up with limits (like flourine levels) to prevent the import of Canadian coking coals.

        Don’t get me wrong, they are the 800 lb gorilla when it comes to globally pricing coking coal, but they can’t risk making 60 million of their own people unemployed, so they talk a good game on importing but mostly use domestic.
