Enforce the rules, or why have them?

DEAR EDITOR:

In Costco yesterday I observed a woman walking around the store with a little piece of plastic hanging off her chin. It wasn’t ever covering her mouth, never mind her nose. Her grown son was wearing his appropriate mask under his nose.

Why was she let in, especially during the highly infectious time? I say either you comply with the rules everyone else is following or you should not be allowed to shop when most people are trying their best to not infect others and keep themselves safe. Enforce the rules Costco.

Kelowna ment that the project was not only over budget, but likely not needed because existing hydro infrastructure could be used. And now the B.C. government is discouraging independent small hydro and solar power producers.

British Columbians have a right to ask their government for third-party oversight of this project and to give us transparent information on the financial, technical and safety risks of continuing Site C dam construction.

As a climate action advocacy organization, we believe that it is ill-advised to keep Site C afloat with billions more dollars, as well as subsidize an LNG industry which will add significantly to B.C.’s greenhouse gas emissions. British Columbia has committed to reducing greenhouse gases by 40% below 2007 levels by 2030 scaling up to 80% by 2050. So far, the province is falling far short of these goals. Site C and LNG may make the task unattainable.
