I will travel some in BC this summer but not as extensively as planned. I will keep close the eastern border where the price of gas is somewhat reasonable. Paying $1.50/l in Vancouver in March was enough for me already.

Here is another group of out of touch lower mainlanders which should be boycotted by the tourism industry.

Still planning on going but haven't decided to as to where yet. I'm not going to let the dumb ass decisions of our politicians stop me from doing anything. Like you said "a lot of great people and businesses there" . Why take it out on them. Sure it might cost a little more now to travel in BC if the gas prices spike, but that's the price we have to pay for the government that we have. Boycotting the people of BC serves no useful purpose. If you want to make a statement do at election time.

Unfortunately, Pipes, we (Albertan's) can't vote in BC so its tough to make that statement at voting time. The only way that me as an Albertan can fight this is to not support BC products.
I realize that the actions that BC is taking is not supported by a great number of BC residents but yet I don't see a lot of them speaking up against their Premier. And now they are looking into a pipeline to the coast to supply their airport with foreign fuel???? WTF??? This has to stop. The residents of BC who are against the actions of their Premier need to start taking action.......speak up ....be heard!

I have always tried to support those who support me/us.........
I'm in the Ag industry and I always try and choose Alberta made/supplied food products....Alberta Beef, Alberta Pork, etc because its those farmers who help me make a living.

So, until this Bull**** in BC is settled, I am consciously choosing to support "other" products/destinations if there is a choice. If I am buying a bottle of wine, it probably won't be BC wine. If I am looking at travelling, for now, BC will probably not be my choice of a destination....although I love going to BC.

I do realize that. My post that you are replying to was not limited to Albertans. I agree with you Cat that the people of BC need to get on board and start opposing their government if they don't feel that it is doing the right thing. You have to remember that the BC people voted for a minority Liberal government. A minority government will never work in Canada as long as the opposition parties can join forces and overthrow the elected party. The people of BC should be pissed at the back yard sand box maneuver the the NDP and Green party pulled. The only criticism I have against your stand is that by boycotting the BC people that voted is that they did not vote for the government they got stuck with. I know where you are coming from, you have to stand for something or you'll fall for anything. You are 100% that the people of BC that oppose the Horgan and his hoolangins should speak up and be heard. We as Albertans should should make every effort as well to help our neighbors. Remember we are all in it together with the exception of the self serving politicians.

He did have some valid points. Refining it in Alberta would create more jobs. Why sell to Asia when we can get more from the Us. But the BS of it being safer to pipe refined produce than diluted bitumen is a load of crap. And how does he think that all his festival goers are not creating a harmful effect on the environment. Them lower main land leaf lickers all travel in cars powered buy oil yet they don't want a pipeline to bring the fuel to them.

Sorry fernie just had to blow off some steam.

I refused to go sledding in BC all winter. Something needs to be done. I cant believe Syncrude and Suncor still have employees from BC.
