““We never recovered anything from that,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said in an interview. Costs to the city stemming from the rupture were “significant,” he said, but he could not provide a specific figure.”
Well...city contract workers DID cause the damage that led to the spill. So, duh.
And now, the city is saying, if there’s a spill...they’re not going to protect their citizens? Sounds like a clear case of “knife, nose, chop, face” to me.
Time for a recall election.
There was some argument over that pipeline puncturing by the city crews - they were following a map provided by K-M, and were following it correctly - the map was apparently wrong.
That incident - which produced a literal gusher of oil - totally ruined many houses in the area, which had to be bought out by the city. And land in Metro Vancouver isn’t cheap.
I’m not anti-oil, but there’s more to that story that should be considered.
I must have taken a nap while posting, I should change my handle to “ipost-slow”. :)
