John Horgan does not approve of the Kinder Morgan pipeline.
The Kinder Morgan pipeline has been in operation since 1953.
There has been zero incidents on both the land and water in regards to transportation.
Kinder Morgan has stated that when additional tanker traffic begins, each oil tanker will have four tugboats escorting the tankers to open ocean waters.
As former prime minister Jean Chretien said, if the natural resources are there, then start the creation of jobs.
This pipeline construction will create good paying jobs.
Also, nearby towns, with hotels, restaurants, machine shops, equipment rental shops, etc, will have a boom in their business.
On CHEK-TV news on the island, everyday on the 5 p.m. news they have a news item called Checkpoint with a different topic each day. Viewers then voice their opinions on the topic.
The question yesterday was "Do you support the premier's approval of the Kinder Morgan pipeline project?"
Note that Vancouver Island does support the NDP strongly, but 52 per cent of the viewers said yes to 48 per cent saying no.
This shows that these NDP supporters are in favour of the pipeline and not agreeing with their leader.
In summary, a oil accident can still happen, but also a divorce from a marriage can happen too.
Chances have to be taken.
What is going on in John Horgan's head?
Joe Sawchuk, Duncan
