Dan Justiceleague: I can鈥檛 tell if the person who wrote this is actually 18, or is, like, 56 and desperately trying to sound like they鈥檙e 18.
Sharon Davis: This started out as a protest years ago and then morphed into an all-out festival. Admit it, when you have booths selling things (many not related to the cause) it is an event, not a protest anymore. It is being legalized so what is your beef? Your point is done 鈥� go smoke wherever you want, but don鈥檛 turn our lovely beaches into a cloud when we already have laws that prohibit smoking in parks and beaches, etc.
THAT'S A WRAP
I鈥檓 so thankful to the Westender for resisting the corporation-funded BC Liberal Party advert wrap that 鈥渙il slicked鈥� last week鈥檚 issue of the Georgia Straight. (Ed. note: We were not approached.) The GS has sunk to the bottom like 鈥淭arberta鈥� bitumen for sucking that toxic corporate pipe.
The sunglasses-clad 麻豆传媒映画Liberal team on the back cover with the 鈥楽trong BC, Bright Future鈥� tag line made me gag. The glasses they wear must be BLACKOUT lenses, as those who support the Christy Crackers team must be blind to all the harm this government has brought to BC.
I live in the Quesnel River watershed and, after almost three years since the Imperial Metals Mt. Polley mine disaster, there has been no clean up, no sanctions, no charges, no fines for what was the largest toxic mine tailings spill in Canadian history. Every day these toxins and heavy metals are making their way down to the Salish Sea beaches and slowly choking the wild salmon. We need a public inquiry into BC鈥檚 mining mess, and those MLAs that let this happen need handcuffs not sunglasses.
The WHITE ELEPHANT of the Peace River Site C dam, the pipeline charades, Christy鈥檚 Bad Fracked Gas affliction, toxic fish feedlots, starved schools/hospitals/homeless, condo-developer welfare, Massey bridge insanity and the continuing corporate industrial fibre-mining assault on BC forests, are just a few examples of how the blindness epidemic has infected the BC Liberal Party candidates and supporters. 鈥揇ouglas Gook
