Dear Editor:
The hypocrisy of SFU professors (Stephen) Collis and (Lynne) Quarmby is breathtaking. These two academics, and particularly professor Quarmby, are the public face of the anti-Kinder-Morgan protests on Burnaby Mountain. They are on TV every night.
They protest about drilling a few innocuous holes in the mountain for a project with huge economic benefit, while they draw generous salaries from an institution whose very existence has caused the stripping of hundreds of acres of trees from that same mountain.
They want to prevent the construction of a project that will assist in providing the livelihoods of other people and once built will be totally unobtrusive.
How many people driving the Coquihalla are aware that under that magnificent scenery there is a very large pipeline?
