Dear Editor
It has been reported in the media that Germany has eliminated university fees in that country. That is our tax dollars at work. Instead of building our ferries here as was done in the past, the jobs were shipped to Germany. We did not collect income tax on those jobs, the salaries paid to shipyard workers were not spent in our shops. The latest SeaBus is coming from Singapore. Only the most rudimentary keels are still in B.C.. To add insult to injury, we are hellbent on importing foreign workers to man fast food outlets and coal mines. If we don't invest in our own people, our economy will continue to stagnate. Just my opinion.
