Dear Editor,
Re: “Debating the Bridge,” News, Feb. 26.
Although I have to give some credence to the Richmond Chamber of Commerce’s perspective on the (Massey) Bridge debate, it strikes me that they are primarily interested in short-term financial benefits and are ignoring the longer-term impacts to our community as expressed by the Fraser Voices.
There are more effective and environmentally friendly solutions… unfortunately, our B.C. government has consistently demonstrated no courage to consider those solutions. It is time for the province to stop treating us like the emperor in Hans Christian Andersen’s classic tale “The Emperor’s New Clothes.”
When will they come clean and acknowledge that the true reason for building the bridge is to enable the expansion of the LNG plant at Tilbury?
