Dear Editor
I believe that by far the biggest issue regarding the proposed Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project is the possibility of a major oil spill from an oil tanker that would devastate the beaches and the ocean in the Vancouver/Gulf Islands/Victoria area.
In addition to damaging the region’s natural ecology, a major oil spill would greatly harm the quality of life for the people living in the most populated area of British Columbia as well as the area’s vital tourist industry.
The only sure and safe way to avoid huge oil tanker spills in the Vancouver/Gulf Islands/Victoria area is not to allow the proposed Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project to proceed.
