Too funny. My buddy who is neighbours with Don Taylor and has the odd beer with him said Taylor implied that most if not all message board posters are a bunch of pricks and that they carve up all radio/tv personalities. I have also heard him say on the radio how message boards are a bunch of clowns and cowards for carving up the media.

Biting the hands that feed.

REGINA — Thanks to strong demand for resources, Saskatchewan’s export sales are expected to pass those of more-populous B.C. this year, the head of the Prairie province’s export agency says.

Lionel LaBelle, president-CEO of the Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership (STEP) says recently released figures collected by Statistics Canada indicate the province’s farms, mines and industries had sold $16.035 billion of products to foreign buyers by the end of June, compared with B.C.’s $15.6 billion.

That works out to a 16.8-per cent increase in export sales so far this year, atop a 24-per-cent rise in 2011, he said, adding this puts us behind Ontario, Alberta and Quebec as exporters.

It is only going to get worse for BC when the Commies get elected next year. You folks were smart enough to reject them, but our layabout sun drenched populous thinks the free ride they promise is a reality.

No shit Topper. everyone wants to hate on the Libs and Gordo and co. but the mongoloids that make up the NDP scare the fuck out of me. Businesses will leave , our taxes will skyrocket, but hey the toilets cleaners at the hospital and the unions will be smiling like a butchers dog. Be prepared to take a substantial haircut on your earnings when the NDP take office. John Cummings and Christy Cunt really need to unite the right and give the NDP the boot in 2017-218.....

It's so true it hurts. I can remember the celebration that happened in 2001 the night the NDP went down. BC entered a period of huge growth despite all the people on a free ride all over the province.

At some point people are going to realize that it sucks to pay taxes when you don't earn any money and there are no jobs.

It's gonna be a hard lesson but organic farming and wave power are not going to get the job done. Maybe if they legalize pot it will give some folks more of a purpose to garden but don't bet on it.

Not trying to be funny, but what business has ever left BC exactly on account of the government being left wing? I've heard that threat since I was a kid and it was Dave Barrett's NDP, but the only business I've seen leave is companies sell out to larger American concerns who liquidate assets and take the business south, pretty much all on either the Socred or BC liberal's watch

oh and fuck the BC Liberals for being lying cunts about being Liberal, I don't mind the right, but fuck off and call a spade a spade...

Mining

Dave killed the exploration sector with threats to tax in situ value of deposits.

Clark-Harcourt with the expropriation of Windy Craggy, killed the industry for several years with doubts of land tenure.

At least Christy has made good on the compensation for the Flathead.

mining as far as i understand it didnt leave, it stopped due to dropping world prices, its on the rebound now not because of anything victoria has done but rather because China is buying again...

see my expanded reply

Land Tenure is the biggest issue facing the industry in BC. Gordo got the ball started again in BC by signing MOU's with several groups of wagon burners. He then dropped the ball by not pursuing the issue further and leaving each project to negotiate with the local bands. The result is a patchwork of half agreements with bands playing off one another to get better deals. It is in their interest to prolong the process as the Supreme Court has decided that the company also has to foot the bill for the Band to hire lawyers and consultants to study oppose the project.

Mines such as Similco and Afton have been reopened, Kemmess and now Mt Milligan are about the only two to be developed with several stalled at the negotiating table.
