Here’s what’s happening in Northwest B.C. right now. We (residents) are suddenly the belle of the natural-resources ball. Many suitors (LNG, mining and oil companies) are vying for our hand (social licence and support). We’re interested in being courted because relationships come with many benefits (jobs, skills training, tax revenue, etc. etc). But we are overwhelmed by the attention and don’t know exactly how to deal with it.
A witty commentary about the attention Northwest BC residents suddenly received from major project proponents during the LNG boom and how we felt about it.
