In the Nov. 1 opinion piece “Local view: Vancouver firefighters oppose oil terminal plan,” writer Mark Johnston, president of the Vancouver Fire Fighters Union, candidly expressed the union’s justifiable opposition to the oil terminal.
Johnston’s warnings and realistic appraisal must not be ignored. He speaks truthfully, and facts are facts. Our first responders are neither politicians nor public bureaucrats. Public safety now and in the future trumps this economic gain, without a doubt.
