Pamela Goldsmith-Jones:
Betrayal is now 100 per cent. Remember me saying that I literally plugged my nose when I put my ballot in the box for Justin? And that I hoped he would prove me wrong? I can’t believe the depth of his betrayal. He has gone from promising reconciliation, community approval of all projects, and becoming a climate change leader to forcing a fossil fuel nightmare onto Canadians, from the KM pipeline to creating loopholes for the tar sands (non)-environmental assessment, to permitting BP (BP!) to drill for oil off the shores of Nova Scotia. Trudeau = Harper, but much, much less honest.
You, Madam, are aiding and abetting this betrayal of your constituents. Town hall meetings? So we could feel “heard?” What a travesty. How dare you assist in this dishonesty, and this environmental destruction! Shame on you!
And while I am at it: Justin Trudeau says this government has done more than any other to improve and protect the environment. BS! Mulroney then Chretien did more. Tom MacMillan did more. Even Lucien Bouchard did more. Canada’s first Environmental Protection Act. It had teeth. The first 50 toxic substances to be regulated under same. Revised Pesticide Registration Act. Etc. Justin has done nothing of substance except talk the talk. And cry crocodile tears. Insulting!
