Dear Editor
Why is the federal government proposing to spend $1.5 billion over five years to supposedly protect the coast of B.C. from a possible oil spill?
Kinder Morgan keeps telling everyone that a spill won’t happen, so should it not be Kinder Morgan’s responsibility to fund this protection?
After all, they are the ones who will be making massive profits by transporting oil through their pipelines, so tell me again why should the taxpayers of Canada fund what is essentially the responsibility of the oil industry, and essentially amounting to more taxpayer funded corporate welfare?
