Dear editor,
What on earth is the matter with these huggers?
Have they no regard for the cost of things? I鈥檝e just read a letter from someone calling for the scrapping of the Site C dam. Don鈥檛 these people realize that a billion or so dollars are already invested in the Site C dam? Furthermore, the dam will provide a renewal, non-polluting energy source for our cities, towns and villages 鈥� where, presumably they live. Every time a large commercial, tax-paying site goes vacant, what do we hear from these type of people? 鈥淥h, let鈥檚 turn it into a park!鈥� No matter that the city has to pay for its upkeep. Is the old Field sawmill site going to contribute to Courtenay鈥檚 revenue, helping to keep our property taxes down?
I doubt it.
