Tourism due to a poor dollar is not booming. They sold to go where profits lay - elsewhere. The Feds should have doubled down when the sector was strong and forcing the US to consider refineries up North. Instead, assholes drive their beat up cars to protests against expansion, high paying jobs, and a commodity they need to survive, while posting on their plastic IFuck whatever that they are talking shit to save the world, but they are hypocrites that cannot live without oil.

I suggest you look more into economics and stop asking stupid rhetorical questions. Unless, of course, you expect stupid rhetorical responses. Slow night in Vietnanaimo I guess.
