Re: 鈥淎ppeal court rules B.C. can鈥檛 limit oil shipments on Trans Mountain,鈥� May 25.
The top court in British Columbia has ruled that the province does not have the authority under our constitution to regulate or prevent the flow of certain types of oil through a federally sanctioned pipeline in B.C.
Premier John Horgan and Attorney General David Eby should accept this ruling and stop wasting the hard-earned dollars of taxpayers in B.C. and of Canada in a fruitless appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. It is time to accept that their 鈥渢oolbox鈥� is empty.
The money already spent and the vast amount required for an appeal could much more effectively be used for the betterment of the homeless, the hungry, the abused and the addicted in our province rather than continuing on what has become a personal vendetta to stop the pipeline.
The Premier, should stop this nonsense and get back to tackling the problems you can possibly solve.
