JeffP,
If those in BC want to keep their pristine wilderness, that's fine with me. Have never been there but I'm quite certain it's a wonderful place. I'm just saying that if the global economy falters because of the lack of an adequate oil supply, the tree-hugging environmentalists will be walking and starving with the rest of us, and revenue generated from hunting in any location will seem pale in comparison. The US already imports a tremendous amount of oil from Canada (and others)and needs to continue to do so at whatever the price until alternative energy sources are utilized. As a US citizen, I certainly don't like being in this "import at any cost" position on oil. This might sound pompous, but if the tap dries up on the US, Japan and Germany; everyone goes down the tube.
