LETTER: Come on, readers - where is your outcry about coal?

71343coal

The Editor,

Get rid of the Tunnel. Dredge the Fraser even deeper. Approve the coal dock expansion at Fraser Surrey Docks for shipment of U.S. thermal coal to China. Extend the Kinder Morgan pipeline South-West to FSD.

The result - large coalcarrying ships and oil tankers using the Fraser.

Undoubtedly this is why members of the Surrey Board of Trade and FSD travelled to Ottawa recently to plead their case for federal support for all of the above.

Why is there no public outcry about this? Could it be that people are not aware of what is planned or are they too complacent? Obviously people in Ottawa have no concern in protecting our environment here on the West Coast.
