I do not believe that something representing the province and its people should be owned and operated by the Aquilinis et al.
However I can understand how that view isn't or wouldn't be shared.

i just can't see it - big ben has hundreds of years of history to it, pyramids are one of the wonders of the world. BC place is a crap concrete monstrosity (it's not even a nice stadium, let alone world class).
i think to suggest that represents BC is disrespectful to all the other things BC has to offer. Innately, BC is all about it's natural beauty, the local mountains, our coastlines, etc. it's not known for anything man made, Canada is too young for anything like that.
I think suggesting BC place is something that BC residents should be proud of or represented by is mind boggling.
