Oil tanks “stupid proposal”
If the current ban on some tankers is repealed, Arnie Nagy is ready to fight.
He is a member of the Nation Haid and a former leader of the Fisheries Union, who has been fighting tankers since the seventies, worries that the leak can destroy the way of life that has been in his family “from time immemorial”.
“We must be united as Canadians, not divided into stupid suggestions,” he said, adding that this is his most important electoral problem and that Trump is used as a dispersion to push the pipelines forward.
Bill C-48, adopted in 2019, forbidden tankers who can transfer over 12,500 tons of oil from the northern end of the island of Vancouver to the border of Alaska. Ellis Ross, a conservative candidate for the Skeena-Bulley valley, called for more pipelines in BC
Nagy believes that the real economic goal of this region should be to grow back commercial cattle of salmon, which used thousands by captivating, production and processing, as well as non -existent channels.
The NDP candidate, Taylor Bachrach, claims that every revocation of the ban on tankers would be “really destructive” for people while driving.
“The implications of oil leakage in the wild salmon river or on the northern coast would last over a hundred years,” he says. “This is not a risk that people are ready to take.”
