Poorly thought through by this government. They are putting everyone's future at significant risk - and I include FN's in everyone. Capital goes the path of least resistance. Similarly business looks for stability, not uncertainty.
BC has set a path towards creating less stability, introducing more regulatory barriers to those businesses which might seek to invest in BC. Additionally, fee simple land ownership is foundational to creating certainty, stability and an environment where capital investment can safely take place.
Idealism without an eye towards creating certainty and stable economic anchors will lead to BC (and those who call it home) suffering significant degradation of our economic future....and, that means government (and FN's if they continue along this path) will kill the cash cow. There will be fewer BC tax payers to keep the lights on. The kinds of social services and infrastructure investments BC needs in the future to stay afloat will wash away over time. Its just that simple...less tax payers = erosion of society.
We need a significant policy course correction to find a new balance point and real meaningful reconciliation that society has the capacity to financially support.
