stateside: The current BC government...That's because they are bi-polar. At first they were pro-business and further right than the Social Credit, the they came more to the center, now they are catering a little more to the left and the greens. They swing in the air like a flag and move whichever the wind blows.
Depending on what time frame you want to get something done, they are either pro-mining or anti-mining, pro-fish farms or anti-fish farms, pro-run of river hydro projects or anti-run of river projects. I've watched them do a complete turn about a number of times over the last nine years or so. Talk about a difficult place to plan anything large such as a mining operation.!
