So it’s come to this – Moms and Dads in Tsawwassen will go to jail for trying to save their 
kids from the consequences of living and playing under BCTC’s high voltage power wires.
kids from the consequences of living and playing under BCTC’s high voltage power wires. Of course it’s not certain that damage will occur as alleged just as you can’t be sure that your smoking will be what kills you. What we do know is that the scientific evidence is even – the medical craniums that think there will be no harm are equaled by those who do which raises the precautionary principle – if there is a prospect of damage the doer of the deed has the onus of proving what he proposes will do no harm. That’s the standard we are supposed to impose on environmental matters can we do less for our kids?
The arrogance of Campbell and his crowd knows no bounds. If high voltage tension wires were going over the heads of your families how would you react? Especially if, for a bit of money you and your families could be safe because the lines were properly laid underground.
It’s said by pollsters and pundits that the Campbell autocracy are a slam dunk to win next May’s election. I don’t think so. With the environmental ravages of this government being felt all around the province and the utter arrogance with which they are being proved I think this government is sowing the seeds of its own destruction.
Remember, you saw it first here – unless, of course, I’m proved wring in which case erase it from your memory!

I am suprised the party has not eaten Campbell as party leader yet, rather than go to the polls with someone so arrogant and unpopular.
About the only thing that would bring them down is another major scandle and hey,that would not suprise me either at the rate they are going!
