Dear Editor,
Now that the writ has been dropped, how about the government drop a few more things.
How about the Fraser River Bridge and that jungle of an interchange project, that few in Richmond want (including Richmond’s mayor and most on council).
Let’s just twin, if not triple, the existing tunnel and not have an ugly edifice that will only benefit off-shore tanker traffic.
But it seems our local MLAs aren’t listening to the community at large.
Let’s not increase tanker traffic on the West Coast altogether and not increase the chance of humongous spills, leaks and other accidents along this fragile coast and in Burrard Inlet.
Any accidents could and would cause widespread environmental damage; the Exxon Valdez proved that.
Again, where are our MLAs to represent us and our wishes?
I say damn the Fraser River Bridge. While we’re at it, let’s also drop the Site C Dam project and keep the Peace River area, its community and the irreplaceable farmland that it is. We don’t need the dam, but it seems no one in government is listening.
It’s time for a change and a government that will listen to and represent the province and the people within it, first and foremost. This is your province, not theirs.
