Dear Editor:
On Sunday morning I watched a seal struggling with a huge salmon in its mouth about 100 feet from the Seawalk near Dundarave Pier in West Vancouver. When it had the salmon securely in its mouth, it immediately came to the Seawalk directly below me in a way that appeared to be its way of celebrating its successful catch with me.
This event has encouraged me to continue with my promotional activities to encourage the federal government to say no to the proposed Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project, which, if approved, could result in large oil spills in the Vancouver/Gulf Islands/Victoria area, killing millions of salmon, other sea life, and birds.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and B.C. Premier Christy Clark must accept that a world-leading marine oil spill response, prevention, and recovery system would only be able to capture a small portion of a major oil spill from a huge oil tanker.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau must not approve the proposed Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project.
