Horgan’s reluctant ‘yes’ on Site C was the right call
KAMLOOPS — So, Site C is a go. Which leaves about half the people in B.C. happy as clams, and the other half mad as hatters.
The Greens and their ilk are in the latter category, of course, but leader Andrew Weaver has already said his party won’t abandon the NDP over it.
He questions why John Horgan was willing to absorb the cost of removing tolls from Lower Mainland bridges but now cites debt-servicing concerns as justification for approving Site C.
Environmental groups have quickly lined up to condemn the decision, with one, the Wilderness Committee, giving a clinic in hyperbole, calling the project a “money wasting, human rights abusing boondoggle of a white elephant.”
