And then there's a force.
And I was like, they're all right.
They're all right from their perspective.
And if everybody just sort of rogers up from your own perspective and just tries to ram into each other, then we get nowhere.
And so you just have sort of competing interests and we don't get anywhere.
And it's just staggering to me that on this issue of a pipeline through Northern British Columbia, you know, getting specific about this, is that...
It's staggering to me that, you know, here we are 15, 20 years since the origin story of the first Northern Gateway Pipeline that people just still don't get it.
They don't understand and they're incapable of putting themselves in the shoes of the other and understanding.
And it's true of, you know, coastal British Columbians who don't understand that Alberta is genuinely questioning themselves about whether or not they should be part of Confederation and
how fundamental this is to their sense of economic injustice, that they're living a lower standard of living because of a sense of nimbyism.
That's the Alberta perspective.
There's also a sense of coastal First Nations, as we've talked about before, who think that they have a 10,000-year to 15,000-year history of inherited obligation to protect the waters and the land and the virtues of preservation of coastal integrity.
against a short-term cash grab that could permanently poison an entire piece of land in perpetuity.
And that would be a betrayal of 10,000 years of hereditary history.
You have to understand that.
If you don't get that, then how do we even have a conversation?
And if we just come to the table and start ramming your perspective into the face of the other...
We get nowhere, and there seems to be no genuine effort and empathy rather than just sort of re-bolstering your argument because, ah, I know, Donald Trump is elected, but therefore all of your concerns about 10,000 years of history now wash away, right?
No, they don't.
And, you know, well, you know, we have this coastal perspective.
