With British Columbia`s energy system gradually integrating into the larger Northwest transmission grid--a grid largely controlled by U.S. energy corporations--this survey shows how the Canadian government has gone to extraordinary lengths to assist the growth of private energy investments in British Columbia and how such subsidization poses a danger to key Contributors to the province's prosperity.
