This morning - the Vancouver Sun issued a scathing editorial taking aim at BC NDP Leader Adrian Dix's promise to set up a provincial environmental assessment review of the Northern Gateway project if he is elected in next May's provincial vote
Some quotes from the editorial:
"So why would Dix waste taxpayers’ money with an expensive environmental assessment of a project he has already promised won’t go ahead under an NDP government?"
"There are two serious problems with Dix’s plan. The first is that it is clear that any review process that is designed to achieve a preordained outcome has to be considered a sham."
"But the message [Dix] is sending to potential investors in other enterprises in B.C. is extremely damaging."
In fact -- Cariboo-Chilcotin NDP Candidate Charlie Wyse said yesterday:
Dix's call for BC Environmental Assessment of Enbridge is to be able to say no
For myself -- let's trust the process underway now and wait for the report from the Joint Review Panel in 2013
