I'd love to come home Christy

'Come home to your province'. I almost forgot why I had to leave. Wait, was it the low wages, lack of work, and high cost of living. Maybe. Maybe I got tired of hearing about LNG, hydroelectric, and mining projects. Maybe it’s how much skilled trades are wanted in B.C. I look at job boards and it suggests otherwise. There aren't any of technical posting that require skill or ones that actually pay a livable amount.

'Come home?' To what? It’s not that I love living away from my wife and young children for weeks at a time. It’s not that I hate the Okanagan. What could it be?

Stop making promises and spewing rhetoric about the 'what ifs', unless you can actually sit down and face the 5000+ people who have to commute to the patch from the Okanagan alone to make a decent living; one that keeps our homes in B.C.
