I don't live in BC but I don't agree that they should have to take a hit for a really bad industry and a province that has neglected to look after it's own resources in a way that they didn't need to use oil and gas to keep themselves alive and well.  Many provinces don't have that luxury and we all have to suck it up and make do with what we have.  If I was in BC I would be protesting right along side of them.  We are living so unsustainably right now how is another 50 years from now going to look?  There are dead fish washing ashore in Nova Scotia, there are dead birds washing ashore in the Arctic there are dead fish washing ashore all around the world and we are going to continue to destroy what little we have left.  Way to go money huggers!
