Every time I listen to Poilievre talk about "deregulating resource extraction"...all it reminds me of, is how back in the 80's, Conservatives in BC allowed the province to be strip mined and clear cut by US companies, who shipped all those resources south of the border for refinement...then sold it all back to us at a premium.

The government got their cut off the top, and didn't have to spend a dime...but Canada lost a ton of wealth, and not one long term job was produced.

It's short-sighted and wasteful policies like that, that basically ended the Conservative party in BC. Let's not repeat their mistakes on a National scale, please.
