Time will tell how good or bad things get. One thing is for sure, and that 
is nothing stays the same. There is a huge resort going in to seaward of 
Uclulet. It is being promoted as a development with a completely 
environmental deference (low impact, natural ambiance, etc., etc.). One can 
only hope if change is unavoidable - which it certainly seems to be with the 
current political regime in BC - then things be done referential to 
environmental imperatives.

Certainly, the lack of consultation in general and specifically the lack of 
deference given to those with minimal-development views is appalling in BC. 
The incompetence with some of the timber-righted land going to developers is 
something that has me pulling out what little hair I have left. Typical 
Canadian passive/aggressive behavior though...scream bloody murder, pull my 
hair our, then calmly go to bed and never write my politicians.
