Unreal. Yet bikes create too much damage to be in a provincial park.

The vast majority of the Canadian public are apathetic morons who just vote on the appearance of the party leader. "Oh she looks nice" or "He seems like a nice man with his guitar and knitted sweater" etc. Meanwhile industry is running rampant through the place. I also blame the gutless media who rarely question or hold the government to account.

I've been called out on this before, but I kinda feel like Americans are better at whistleblowing. I don't think something like this would go as unnoticed in the US. Just look at the chlorine rail cars that go through North Van and Burnaby - they're not even allowed to pass through lots of little towns in the US because people became aware of the dnagers of chlorine gas. But up here, right through high density residential, no one knows, no one cares. OK not the greatest example but you get my drift.

I voted for an independent last prov election. Both Libs and NDP were non-starters for me.

B.C. Premier Christy Clark was a partner in a lobbying firm that was contracted by Enbridge and which lobbied the federal government on the company's behalf, according to documents obtained by The Vancouver Observer. The documents on lobbying originate from 2005-2011, when Clark stepped away from politics.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Clark said

Wow, she's actually trying to deny it. Such a rookie.

Left or right it doesn't matter which a politician professes to be the are all self serving scum feeding at the public trough while selling out the voters to the highest bidder.The only good politician is a dead one!I think a revolution is in order so we can return government to the people who's country this is OURS!!!

The raw, primitive, unrefined trails that see little to no maintenance are the kinds of trails that really build skill. What kind of skills do you learn riding a trail that was made by a machine, groomed to perfection and void of any rocks, roots or other obstacles that could send you careening over the handlebars?

As long as there are political parties, this is unavoidable. At the very least, never vote for an incumbent.

Hey,while we're at it,how about the redesignation of a large part of the ALR to allow "other uses" released on the same day?

Kinder Morgan is trying to run their pipeline right through our farm. The muni is behind them, KM is behind them, and no one is behind us. We grow hay for the local cattle farms, along with low level egg production. The muni wouldn't let us build a new barn on our 80 acre property, but they're okay with KM lowballing us for that same dirt, and running a fucking pipeline through it.

You may ask why I haven't gone the route of civil disobedience.
This is why…..

the barn issue is BS. just build it and tell them to pound sand if you are in ALR.

does the existing pipeline go through your property?
