I totally agree with you that the local residents should get the preference in hunting, fishing and all the other rights and perks that come with being a resident in that particular Province or Nation; it shouldn't be any other way. I completely agree with his assessment on the wildlife situation in BC. I'm just saying that when it comes to oil production, the whole world is tethered to that greasy pipeline. We all need to bust our ass to wean ourselves from this situation. My position is simply that the entire global economy can fall like a house of cards if this supply runs short for even a minimal time. And with China and India now inefficiently industrialized, who knows when this lack of oil supply could create such an economic tragedy. I did notice that Gold hit a 25 year high today.
