Why buy power from a province that is rabidly antithetical in its approach toward Alberta? If you want electricity, create it yourself. Show BC they're not your saviour.

Living here in BC, I see first hand how much vitriol and disdain there is toward the prairie provinces, especially Alberta.

So sell it to the US instead? If Alberta had half the water BC has, the climate change converstation as it relates to the O&G industry would be very different.

If BC is truly headed to the electric utopia it envisions (e.g. electric vehicles, ban on natural gas for heating or cooking [yes, that's a thing]), they'll need every ounce of power they can squeeze from their electrical system.
