Surely to God even ignore listers can understand that having all this money directed into gasoline is an absolute economic killer.

You mean like the gasoline/diesel used to produce foodstuffs and/or deliver it to the retail outlets.

That economic killer?

You sure feel the extra cost of those items after a trip to the store in Vancouver.

I wonder why?

It keeps tourists away.

That's always nice but if you rely on it, not so nice.

The local economy in YVR is hollow.. Like you suggest, overly dependent on tourism and the biggest employer by far is the service sector.

You can't have any kind of life in that town as a guy pumping gas or slinging drinks unless you live 4 peeps to a 1.5 bedroom condo and that gets old super quick, even for an 18 y/o

The high cost of gasoline in Canuckistan is almost all due to taxes. Even a Grade 9 student should know that.

Actually forestry , mining and more and more secondary manufacturing are fueling the British Columbia economy as much as tourism . Kamloops and the Okanogan are vibrant growing communities , granted tourism is a major part of their growth it is not all.
