Good article Gary - couldn't have said it better myself. What the ecos, NDP and Greenies have been trying to do is sell this idea of "social licence". Which means, in effect, every first nation, joe public and eco group has to be in agreement with a project before it proceeds. Of course this is impossible and total nonsense - it just allows the ecos to tie up everything forever. I don't like wind farms, because they kill tons of birds and bats and they are an eyesore on the landscape. Does that mean I can get a few friends with signs and stop a wind farm project? I don't think so. 

Glad that Trudeau has given the nimbyists in the Lower Rainland the middle finger - they need a dose of reality, and they need to realize they are just one part of a country, not special.
