It is time for our port commissioners to cancel the oil terminal lease at the Port of Vancouver. The facts against it are clear and convincing. The huge terminal would be unhealthy and unsafe — ugly, and smelly, too. Also, with the glut of oil on the world and domestic markets, it’s not needed. Jobs — we can do more and better. Don Orange would be the majority vote to kill the terminal. Vote Orange for Vancouver port commissioner.
