Editor:
I agree with Sean Eckford (“Fixed link all about political feasibility,” Oct. 28) that the wordy feedback preamble for the fixed link feasibility study is reminiscent of Premier Clark’s trying to “get to yes,” but I think the “yes” pursued by her government is more limited than what local fixed link proponents have in mind.
My impression is that no environmental, geotechnical or budgetary argument would be strong enough to prevent the premier from building an asphalt connector between Woodfibre and Highway 99 for the benefit of Woodfibre LNG, and no argument so weak she wouldn’t happily use it as a reason to put the fixed link project on pause after that stretch was constructed.
Naturally, to paraphrase A. A. Milne’s Owl, it takes a good deal of pencil to solicit input for a long thing like that.
