Bulkley Valley Research Centre helped create the economic mess in British Columbia
In simple English or laymans terms British Columbia is entering a stage where we spend more on goverment workers than we have people earning income form non govermental occupations.. What the NDP is doing is akin a single mom paying the babysitter more than she earns in take home pay. Its the recipe for going bust, Britsh Columbia has shut down so much indudustry, chased industry out with red tape, buried projects in delays and fees, even David Eby now gets that we are running out of money, fast.
BC is going bust, the NDP are desperate, a once rich province could soon see credit rating downgrades, mines are on hold, or just not bothering to invest in our province. Mills closing down every month of the year, and it appears forest fires are the replacement industry. “The gosple according to climate change” but none of this was an accident, its all by design, and the design was created by the outcome of an engineered colaberation between the Bulkley Valley Research Centre and the NDP. It all started here in 2012.
Now we are sleeping in the preverbail bed the Bulkley Valley Research Centre helped create. The following convention hosted by the Bulkley Valley Research Centre was an eco socialist navel gazing exercise, it served as a blueprint on how to destroy British Columbia. Its almost as if it was by design, meant to destoy the province, hand it over to First Nations, and run off to another country by the few in control, running off with the remaining wealth.
We should add at this point that the Bulkley Valley Research Centre is hevily funded by the American Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation
The Master Pan created in 2012 has come to fruition.
This is how the Bulkley Valley Research Centre can claim they did the research and will act in the interest of the so called facts. This entire conference did have both sides speaking, but they stacked the deck to insure the wanted outcome. Keep in mind it’s the same organization that was behind the racist book called “Shared Histories”, an NDP collaboration intended to pit residents against each other, intebed to make “white people” out as the evil colonists.
Record breaking unemployment, tent cities cropping up all over the province, record breaking poverty, we shut down much of BC’s Mining, we killed the forest industry, and we watch how everything is now OLD GROWTH, we horde our oil and gas in the ground and import the same from neighboring nations. We block oil tankers from our inner coast but allow them on our outer coast, to insure we cannot sell what we are buying, just how stupid is that?
“Despite being a major energy exporter, Canada imports significant oil and gas to supply eastern regions, which lack pipelines connecting them to Western Canadian production. In 2023, Canada imported 1.1 million barrels per day (BOE/d) of hydrocarbons, 83% from the U.S., with other sources including Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and Algeria.”
The following is a list of people and organizations the Bulkley Valley Research Centre is sourcing their information from to determine what industries we will support and what industries we object to.
When you see the list of presenters (below), its astounding how its jam packed full of people with one objective, killing economic growth in our community. This organization is not an asset to the Bulkley Valley, they are a liability. This is commonly known as loading the dice in thier favor to insure the outcome they wanted..
Look at the BC Minister of Forests Doug Donaldson, look at how many people working directly under him is speaking to this event. This is the same Doug Donaldson who brought food supply’s to the ILLEGAL blockade of a forestry road!
Look at how they conclude this presentation!
“Ray Chipeniuk – University of Northern BC” – Environmental Planning” – “Yvonne Lattie- Skeena Watershed Coalition” – “Deborah – Raven Ecological” – “Christina Soto – Board Member West Coast Environmental Law” – “Emily Mc Griffin – Rivers without Borders” – “Tiel Glover – Negotiator, Ministry of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation” (left out of the list of speakers the Bulkley Valley Research Centre produced) last but certainly not least, the eco bucket mouth of the Northwest, Shannon McPhail on behalf of her own Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition (SWCC)
These are organizations interfering with government approved projects using foreign funding to add delays and increased costs. It’s hard to believe the Bulkley Valley Research Centre would invite these organizations unless they were in collaboration with them, and note zero objections from the provincial NDP who are often the same people who approved the projects. In almost every instance those shaded red are directly or indirectly involved in stoking and or funding race hate between aboriginals and the citizens of Canada.
Aboriginals are being used as the tool to shut down all forms of industry, and if you wonder how we got into the mess we are today, then look closely at the Bulkley Valley Research Centre as they were heavily involved in creating it.
