Re: "Pipeline stance is premier's graduation party," July 28.
Bob Plecas claims that Premier Christy Clark is showing political maturity in standing up for B.C.
Balderdash. Clark is manoeuvring for the highest possible price for selling us out, and her tactics are childish in the extreme.
Plecas claims that support for the pipeline in the north and Interior is evenly split by those living off natural resources who "recognize the sustainable trade-offs in economic activity," without mentioning the thousands of jobs based on natural resources such as fish and forests, and on tourism, which will be put at risk by the pipeline and are part of the vigorous opposition, not only of First Nations but also local municipal councils.
Plecas claims "Enbridge is Clark's coming-out party." On the contrary, her money-grubbing stance will prove to be her going-away party.
