That statement however doesn’t seem to make sense to the “We’re Green no matter what the cost” crowd

Leadership we can count on?  Well it seems what we can
count on is a leader that will drive our economy in to the ground

So … BC NDP leader Adrian Dix says: “Within a week of taking office, we will serve the federal government with 30 days’ notice to terminate the 2010 deal in which the Liberals signed away B.C.’s interests.”

Well thank you very much (NOT!)

GREAT --- that's all we need is years and years of more delays.  I know I am not alone in saying, “Let's just get the process completed and make a decision. Delays cost jobs!!”

But no … those in the NDP, along with those who are totally opposed to any kind of job creating development in our province, are going to do everything they can to stall, delay, and stop projects from going ahead. 

Their sole purpose? 

Well it seems clear enough to me from a message posted by Tom Woodsworth on Facebook today.  He stated, “The sludge ain't going anywhere. Worried the green energy sector will explode and relegate the O&G sector to the dustbins of history? Not gonna happen anytime soon.”

Well to be clear, all I am saying is it's time to fish or cut bait. Either the project passes environmental reviews or it doesn't.

WHY?

Because this never ending process of reviews and counter reviews is nothing more than a COSTLY waste of time and energy for ALL involved.

That statement however doesn’t seem to make sense to the “We’re Green no matter what the cost” crowd. 

Woodworth’s response to my comment was a simple, “And you don't think the BC NDP have been pretty darn clear about how they stand with this project?”

Yes Tom they have been clear -- that said, IS NOT the purpose of holding environmental reviews to determine and decide whether project should go ahead or not?

If not, then this has been a colossal waste of money, and it will put a HUGE damper on ANY projects that might possibly be on the drawing boards -- some of which would be highly beneficial in terms of good jobs for British Columbians ... and revenues to the provincial treasury.

While Mr. Woodworth’s only answer is that, “Environmental reviews, regardless of the party in power, have ALWAYS been used to codify previously made political decisions”.

I have to strongly point out that there will ALWAYS be someone opposed to one development or another. 

So who should decide ... make the final decision?   

You ... me ... the government (and if so, at what level) ... the Review Committee? 

Where does it end, and with whom?

Let's just get the review process completed, and make a decision one way or the other … BUT let’s make the decision based on fact, not emotions!

Delays cost jobs … and this is just one more reason the NDP must NOT be in a position to have majority government following the provincial election next May. They have shown us once again why, as W.A.C Bennett used to say, they are "... unfit to even run a peanut stand".
