Did someone get the size of the shovel that Clark was using in that pill of BS

It's all palava (BS). Liquid natural gas as an exportable fuel source is pie in the sky. With fracking everyone has natural gas close to home.

Doesn't a tax royalty normally represent reveue owing and paid to the provincial treasury?

If LNG is going to provide a trillion dollars of economic benefits to the province, why are we paying the natural gas drillers money that the province doesn't have?

Can someone explain why the industry with such tremendous potential needs a subsidy?

Hold on! I thought First Nations (a total misnomer) were supposed to be a "Federal" responsibility. Why does BC have to compensate 15 of these groups at roughly $2M a pop? Why is it that BC keeps contributing to satisfy Federal responsibilities; and have resultant costs of native demands imposed on us?

Look at the treaty negotiations? BC is expected to have territories (and subsequent income in the form of royalties, etc.) lost in the process. We (the province) should be compensated, by the senior government. for these losses. Yet we continue to pay in order to satisfy the bill for the Federal government. When we joined Confederation, the province had defined borders. The lands within these boundaries were not the property of the Federal government to satisfy their whims, wants or needs.

Yet, as good sheep we keep contributing without a murmur of complaint. In the meantime our BC taxpayers keep on paying; aboriginal treaties, equalization, etc., etc. Is there anyone running for office in the next election -
NDP, Liberals or any other party - willing to step up to the plate for the BC taxpayer? Or, will all of these parties continue to assist in the fleecing of our province by the senior government? Hang on to your wallets; there's a new provincial government coming.
