Do you count yourself among B.C.'s "forces of no"? That's the label Premier Christy Clark recently bestowed upon British Columbians who actively resist and challenge government initiatives like major energy projects and trade pacts.

In his weekend column, Ian Gill struck back at Clark's "shockingly unsophisticated" and "deeply divisive" label, particularly in the context of a proposed liquefied natural gas terminal on B.C.'s northwest coast that is currently opposed by a large coalition of First Nations leaders, scientists, citizens, elected officials, fishermen and environmentalists.

In that case, Gill writes, "a combination of spirited local resistance, dreadful market conditions, inept negotiations by the province and selective and divisive consultation with First Nations -- these, not a few nattering nabobs of northern negativism, have hobbled Clark's LNG horse."

The column inspired a few Tyee commenters to openly ally themselves with the so-called "forces of no," with one commenter, pianosaurus rex, even publishing a short manifesto of 13 B.C. government actions that the forces might oppose, such as:

• NO to continually breaking the law by deleting public records to avoid scrutiny by others.
• NO to ordering BC Hydro to borrow $10 billion to build a dam to deliver power that will be sold at a loss and refusing to allow the BCUC to review the project to avoid accountability.
• NO to forcing school boards to close schools to raise funds to upgrade earthquake protection [that B.C.'s] already promised and failed to deliver.

Find the rest of the list at the top of the comment thread in Gill's column here. Meantime, we wondered... what else might the B.C. "forces of no" oppose?

First, tell us: are you with the forces of no?
