On the question about the regions, I think in B.C. it's been particularly difficult for urban B.C. to understand what's going on in rural B.C., and the CBC hasn't helped us much in that. I keep an eye on these things, because I'm interested in the whole question of the way work is flowing, and I've been amazed that the pine beetle crisis took a long time for Vancouverites to wake up to. Once again, the CBC didn't help with that.
It's interesting to me that in the Vancouver Sun this morning there's a big map of B.C. that says here are the bust areas, here are the boom areas, and that's great, but I wouldn't have got that if I had just sat and watched the CBC in Vancouver.
I am a big fan of the CBC, but I certainly think that Vancouverites are very smug and unknowledgeable about what's going on in the rest of the province.
