question: How strong can that commitment to a Canadian interconnection be if the power, politically and economically be in the United States for north-south connection? How long can the provinces hang together on something like that?

    "I can tell you.....(fill in the blank)" is Campbell's favorite leadoff, and it's a red flag of sorts. For instance, why (if BC is such a "powerhouse"), does BC have to IMPORT about 10% of it's hydro needs..........?<br />
    <br />
    To get down to the "bottom line", is what is really being discussed here some sort of NAWAPA and/or GRAND Canal scheme:<br />

    ...especially as Campbell seems to go out of his way to emphasize BC's continuing relationship with the US.....?<p>---<br>"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." <br />

    What does the plan for a national power grid have to do with either of those things?

    I have been away from BC for a while, will anybody please tell me:

    Who was it that sold BC Gas (later callled Terrasen) to a US owner? Was it Dosange's NDP or Campbell's BC Liberals?

    Who was it that sold Trans Mountain Pipelines to a US owner called Kinder Morgan? Was it Dosange's NDP or Campbell's BC Liberals?

    Saying things is different than doing things.

    An east-west power grid is a great idea, it's has nothing to do with what Campbell has done in the past.
