Editor:
I read with interest Ted McNicol’s letter on BC Ferries (“Not politically valuable,” Sept. 29) and agree with his comments. However, one part of the letter deserves more attention: “Our government should actually solve this long-standing problem, but I won’t hold my breath as it doesn’t appear we are politically valuable. Nicholas Simons says, ‘I’m not at the table where those policy decisions are made.’”
We should note that now Mr. Simons’ party is in power, his standard excuse is no longer valid, and maybe it’s time he stood up at the “table” to speak for the constituents of his riding. It is finally time for our MLA to do some work, and not hide behind the “opposition party” excuse! It is also highly probable that we will see another election soon, so please get to work, Mr. Simons.
