Very helpful article on the long history of Canada's tanker ban and, in particular, the decades-old opposition to oil tankers in BC. It's rare to read about political stances that are even older than I am, but here we are. #cdnpoli

Note the UCP's meme 👇.
In this particular case, the government has broken commitments to preserve public healthcare.
More worrisome, they're keeping more promises than they made in their 2023 platform.

The govt is betraying its promise to Canadians.
The minister promised new coal mine selenium regulations to protect our rivers and lakes. Now, instead of providing protection, the Liberals are allowing a dramatic increase in the pollutants going into rivers and lakes.
