The BC Government is not central. It is bad enough
that we in BC are isolated from the Federal Government
-- they seem to think Winnipeg is West --
but we are also isolated from our Provincial
Government.
In order to really feel and understand the backbone of the
province, the government should relocate to Prince
George. After all, it is the north from which the
generous royalties and taxes are derived from, oil
and timber.
We are dying up here, no work, the various program cutbacks have
hurt us severely. Their eyes would be a little more
open if they saw how many homes are for sale or boarded
up. People are just walking away from a lifetime of
work. I have seen independent people lose
everything, which includes their pride. The system
is hard and demeaning.
I shall forward this letter to friends and
family who reside in various remote parts of BC, and encourage them
to write also.
