LETTER: Attack on megaprojects will cost us

Dear Editor: Re: B.C. Hires Native Rights Lawyer on Pipeline , Aug. 11 front-page story. And so the attack begins on megaprojects designed to bring our natural resources, regardless of their provincial origin, to market while there is still a market.

Re: B.C. Hires Native Rights Lawyer on Pipeline, Aug. 11 front-page story.

And so the attack begins on megaprojects designed to bring our natural resources, regardless of their provincial origin, to market while there is still a market. All this is going to do is spend a lot of B.C. taxpayer dollars with a predictable outcome and in the process irritate our fellow Canadians in Alberta.

If they succeed we will all be the poorer for it. It isn’t just Trans Mountain that will be affected. If you were going to invest billions or just millions in some project, would you pick B.C. as that place? As hard as this is to believe, there are a lot of British Columbians living and working in places other than Metro Vancouver and southern Vancouver Island.
