My latest for the Victoria Politics Examiner

Check it out: BC Hydro never directly asked local community about Site C dam.

"According to the feedback forms, upgrading the province's existing energy assets and investing in wind, solar and biomass power received more support than building a "major hydroelectric dam" -- with 98 per cent, 90 per cent and 89 per cent respectively backing those ideas."

Perhaps this is one of those times where the big corporation knows better. The residents seem to be as well informed as the enviro-zealots who have foisted windmills and solar panels on us at huge cost for little result.

Site "C" will flood only 5000 hectares? That's a pinpoint on the map of this Province.

Build it and sell the power,Allah knows we need the project to employ construction workers right now.

Maybe I'll go fish in the lake if they stock it with some good fighting species.

Heh - fair 'nuff. Still though, it seems kind of underhanded.
