So this professor from Ontario "paddled the river this past summer" and concluded that British Columbians can live on fish and berries, and won't require additional electricity in the future to power the electric cars we're all supposed to be driving soon. Having "paddled the river" she now considers herself qualified to educate us on what is means to "live on the land".
I'm so grateful we have people from urbanized southern Ontario to tell us we need "to ensure that all future developments will be in harmony with the natural functions of the valley's ecosystems and its beauty".
Please do British Columbians a favour and paddle a river system in another province next summer, so we can be spared your naive romantic drivel. Maybe try the Niagara.
