Dear Editor:
It continues to amaze me each time I read the NDP position on pipelines. The NDP city council just simply refuses to accept anything but abolishing fuel movement without offering an alternative.
This is just another in a long list of opposition to everything. Now their partners in the fire department have joined the chorus with the very logical approach that they will chose which fires they will fight.
That of course would depend on who owns the property and which side the NDP council stands.
Our MP, Mr. Kennedy Stewart, entered the fray early although his position is different than his NDP boss’s position, which is wait and see.
Fear mongering dressed up as logic is easy to sell. It makes good theatre and gives good reason for public gatherings to ensure the re-election campaign starts as soon as you get elected.
I am in favor of both pipelines, and I find very few people with whom I speak opposed to the projects.
The NDP hasn’t learned much from the last provincial election as they continue to offer no alternatives while fighting job creation. I’ve heard the comments made by the NDP mayor, in particular, that these are just short-term jobs.
That’s an easy comment to make when your long-term job is to benefit from tax dollars generated by those hated energy producers. Hopefully, the negativity will end in November when some very needed change takes place at city hall.
