The Editor,
Are Richmond - Steveston voters honestly represented in the legislature, or is our local MLA just parroting the party line?
This election will decide. My issue is environmental protection. We need a politician who will protect our public lands and the Fraser River.
When I look at environmental protection, the only candidate that seems to have actually done anything tangible is the BC Conservative's Carol Day.
Ms. Day has worked tirelessly (as a volunteer - which verifies her conviction) with all parties, to keep jet fuel barges off the Fraser.
Since the environment in Richmond-Steveston is a major issue for me, in my view the only candidate that has actually demonstrated a genuine commitment to this is Day.
She has been working hard to keep jet fuel out of the Fraser River, as the chair of VAPOR.
I'll be voting for Day, because of her environmental protection record, honesty, and experience, but mostly because of her genuine commitment to get things done.
K. Munsie. Richmond
