At least the last guy in Manitoba was against the carbon tax, not sure where it stands today. Or was that Saskatchewan?
That is a weird situation between the two provinces. At least the island is pretty awesome, if you can handle the rain. I visited the Carmanah in the Pacific Rim, so cool like a tropical rainforest, with mighty Sitka trees. I hated Victoria though. I got split up from my family trying to find a place to take a leak, no public bathrooms anywhere that I found. Damn greedy proprietors.
