Is it not quite hypocritical of Dr. David Suzuki, Native peoples and the mayor of Vancouver to criticize the transportation of oil?
These people want all services, but not in their back yard.
The Premier of British Columbia says it is all right as long as BC gets money. The Mennonites are the only legitimate people who can complain as they are living with little use of oil.
I do not believe that Suzuki traveled to Gogama by horse and buggy. Oil should be transported by pipeline as it is the safest and cleanest way to carry oil long distances. Rail tankers are dangerous, ie. the Lac Megantic tragedy and the Gogama spill, etc.
It would be much more efficient to implement regulations to ensure safe pipelines.
Do the people of Sudbury not remember not wanting the gas pipeline near the city back in the late 1950s and early 1960s? Now a large majority of people avail themselves of natural gas.
I’ll believe and join the march when all these hypocritical critics put away their cars and snowmobiles, etc.
