Yup it's a catch 22,if NDP get in we will have no where to ride but if liberals get in the avarage guy won't be able to afford to ride, everything is getting more expensive thanks to crusty Clarke,great if your rich and can afford to play but the average family has alot less play money now
I might be dating myself........ But wasn't the NDP in BC about 20 years ago??? and phucked up the province then too???
Thinking more now...... After BC, didn't they go to Sask and phuck that up, then came here?

Yup, probably just turn all of BC into a national park.All the outdoor people had better get serious and realize how quickly CPAWS and the Y2Y movement jumped in and started to get a big chunk of their master plan into effect with the NDP in power in Alberta. If the NDP get elected in BC, it will be a real eye opener for people who recreate in the great outdoors. WildSight will spear head the formation of parks, the banning of trophy hunting, the banning of OHV's, and the creation of a park from the US border up to Kananaskis that may even go far enough west to include the Columbia River Trench.
The last time the NDP were in power in BC, a large chunk of the south eastern corner was slated for a park for another large piece of Y2Y. At that time, it was from the US border to Kananaskis and from the AB border to the height of land on the west side of the Elk River. If the Liberals had not have won the election, this corner would have been closed to motorized recreation.
BC has to vote and re-elect a majority Liberal government.
so gay if they get in again
I was at a snowmobile club meeting last night and was amazed at how people, so much younger than myself, tend to forget. The majority of members were dumb founded about the NDP non-motorized plans that were nearly put into effect in the early 2000's in the eastern Kootenays. They sat there in disbelief!
I will go on record saying, "that what happened in Alberta with the Castle area and motorized closures is nothing compared to what will happen in BC should the NDP get elected."
I agree with Bnorth, there will be more devastating things than motorized closures, but really, when friggin' hypocrites start saying for the good of the earth and the flora and fauna that we need to shut down people's recreational areas, it is time to start shaking one's head. I think it is going to be a sad day in western Canada when the ballots are counted.
it's not just motorized use many wild sight supporters are blocking, we are fighting battles to get friggin mountainbike trails approved!
We keep getting blocked by people who are concerned that we will disturb the wildlife.... wtf? I ride past deer, elk, moose and bears most of them don't even lift their heads.
And then they are concerned that we tear up the ground...
The latest move was to spend a ton of cash to feed the Damn wildlife this winter because it was so harsh.... meanwhile communities are culling deer.
