I was referring to our provincial government — Harper is federal. I should have made that more clear.

I knew that, but there is a coat-tail effect when the party in charge of the national government is looking better that helps local government from the same party. With Harper doing as well as he is and Obama such a disaster in the US, I was wondering what was the attraction of a leftist government in BC.

They don’t, nor should they. Firewood isn’t a fossil fuel —

Unlike coal, nether is oil and gas. They are mineral fuels formed from methane left over from the planet's formation remaining in solution with the earth's mantle then polymerized by bacteria deep in the crustal layer.

“I was wondering what was the attraction of a leftist government in BC.”

So are a lot of us here.

“Unlike coal, nether is oil and gas. They are mineral fuels formed from methane left ....”

I’m coming around to accepting that theory, at least with regard to natural gas. It makes “peak oil” look very premature.
