Eh. I read it as BC not getting much funding for infrastructure from the feds, coupled with copious issues with development and treaties. BC's population is overly concentrated in the GVRD, with almost half the provinces people living there. Part of the reason being the lack of infrastructure / job opportunities in other regions.

    It's taken two decades just to get a highway expansion in Vancouver that serves millions of people.

    There's a bridge over a canal on one of the only ways to Vancouver from the rest of Canada and it's pretty much falling apart, it's embarrassing. It's practically a farm bridge.

    Tourists and visitors from out of province all have to cross that thing and it must be a hell of an introduction to Vancouver. It's not even regular width for a two lane road, constant crashes in it. Good luck if two semi trucks need to cross side by side.

    I celebrate all of those things. Hopefully we perform as few highway expansion projects as possible and focus on rail instead. Also hopefully BC's population remain concentrated in metro Vancouver so we preserve as much wilderness as possible instead of sprawling endlessly.
