Dear Editor:
No harm from coal facility? It's no wonder our residents are skeptical.
Fraser Surrey Docks surely knew who they were hiring to run this environmental risk assessment. Record readers should be informed that SNC-Lavalin is world-renowned as one of the most corrupt companies on the planet. A September Financial Post headline reads: "Canada now dominates World Bank corruption list, thanks to SNC-Lavalin." Anyone can Google the details. This is not a company to be trusted with our health and well-being. In the comic books, this is the type of organization Batman or Superman would be fighting against.
Looks like we are going to have to go back to using common sense. Obviously coal transport does put us and our environment at risk. But, what's even more risky is trusting the kind of people who say, "No risks here" all the way to the bank.
I hope everyone will join me in calling Fraser Surrey Docks to make our outrage known.
Or, we can, as The Record article states, comment on the assessment by email: [email protected]. Written responses can be sent to Tim Blair, senior planner, Port Metro Vancouver, 100 The Pointe, 999 Canada Place, Vancouver, B.C., V6T 3T4.
