John, you really diminish your argument by including insults and taking shots at the entire 3.5M people who live in BC. Why can't you frame your arguments without them? Perhaps it is because in general the use of such rhetorical tactics illuminates that the argument being made is weak, which is true in this case.. The population of BC is now very well-informed about the difference between cleaning up a spill of LNG and cleaning up a spill of oil, as it has been covered ad nauseum in our media for several years. This explains why we support LNG pipelines and do not support more oil pipelines. Is that so hard to understand? Maybe if you thought of British Columbians as human beings trying to make the best collective decision we can rather than as dehumanized Ezra Levant-style stereotypes it might help. LC
