The first paragraph in the Environment section of his campaign website:

"There is a tremendous economic opportunity in protecting our world for future generations. We need to move away from the idea that rural people are going to carry the burden for our cities. We all share this country, we need our cities to do their part to preserve this nation."

?

Geoff Meggs is Horgan's new chief of staff.

George Affleck is the longest serving NPA councillor (elected because his name starts with an "A" and Vancouver voters don't give a gently caress).

Last time I talked with Meggs the topic of Uber came up, and it was clear he was a super skeptic the company and not a fan, so I doubt he's all that favourable of Airbnb.

literally

Drink, mostly. Coffee row for the non-indulgers. Talk about the weather. Tractor pulls and rodeos dot the temporal landscape. Help someone repair their fence. Listen to the game on the radio while in the shop. Change your oil on your gravel driveway. Dirt roads. Hutterites and them natives. Shoot something that is living.

This is a pretty good summary.

But add in awkwardly gawk at/gossip about the city folk who come through for whatever reason.

literally

Rolling up your window and turning off your air when passing a car on grid roads. Cowboy boots and hats and belt buckles the size of a child's head at weddings. Country music in the bars in front of dimly-lit flat rye and cokes. Towns shutting down at 7:00 pm. Knowing what your neighbour had for breakfast. Lawn care. Barbecues. ATVs and Gators. Sledding in the winter. Fishing and throwing your bottles over the side.

Asking your parents if the person you been seeing a few months might be a cousin cause things are getting serious

You can live for a thousand bucks a month pretty comfortably in a small town if you have roommates of whatever kind. Part time service sector jobs, Mr. Fix-it's, day labour on or off farms. Lots of people legitimately hunt for food or garden or whatever when you're approaching the deeper rural/bush.

This is a serious concern when the town is eight generations of the same five families. There's a shortage of last names

Agribusiness centers, mechanics, trades suppliers of various kinds. Stores selling stuff you need to grow/build/repair are scattered all over the place. One Massey Ferguson dealership employing 15 people in a town where there are only 100 working adults.

My experience of rural youth culture is that intramural sports and weekend house parties have done more for Reconciliation than the federal government ever has.
