Dear Editor
John Hunter’s letter defending the oil industry kind of reminds me of the problem organized labour had when they were fighting for a living wage. “Better take what you can get. There’s always someone who will work cheaper.”
He says China can get their oil somewhere else where they’re ready to tolerate the possible consequences. He may be right, but someone has to make a stand, I’m proud that it’s us. He cites the loss of China as a possible customer. The way people in that country are being poisoned by industrial pollution may create an uprising there if they live long enough. Seems to me that the Chinese who are rich enough are moving to Canada.
