Are you sure that your source data for this layer is really in 
EPSG:42304, or that your layer projection is set to the right value?

I did a quick test, and here are the extents I get for a zoom in the 
region of SW of BC in EPSG:42304:

   minx=-2215691.18  miny=380000.44 maxx=-1836821.01 maxy=759386.35

That doesn't seem close to your BoundingBox values.
