Dear Editor,
There have been countless scientists and most citizens in Metro Vancouver who are against the Vancouver Fraser Port proposal and against its expansion project.
Why do our local elected officials not support what is best for our environment, community well-being and quality of life?
Contact your federal Liberal members of Parliament and make a responsible stand.
We have not heard a peep out of them!
We only have one Fraser River and one Fraser estuary for our future.
The import and export of cargo containers can be addressed by several other options other than in the heart of our estuary.
It’s time you stood up for future generations of our children and the biodiversity on our planet and in the Fraser!
If we do not take a stand in our front yard, where will the federal and B.C. governments find habitats to meet our international promise of ‘30 by 30’ that the prime minister just made four months ago?
You cannot pretend that a review is in place and you cannot speak, as recently suggested to me by the offices of one of our Richmond MLAs and one MP.
If you cannot represent the wishes of the vast majority of us and support conservation science, who will?
Otto Langer
RICHMOND
