It's called democracy

It's called democracy, Mr. Hamilton, governing by the rule of law in order to protect individual rights from being steamrolled by the rich and powerful.

And it's worth every penny.

Blame for the $80,000 cost for re-doing Target Marine lies on the government of Sechelt and its advisors who made a mistake, and not on the individuals who are trying to save their right to the quiet enjoyment of their residential property.

This typical push for maximum profit for companies with no respect for people puts every residential property owner at risk even when the zoning should protect them. Stockwell's proposal for a cement plant is the latest and coming example.
