Due to a lot of greed, the BC Ministry of Transportation was slipped a lot of green to threaten three sensitive areas of Eagleridge Bluffs, contrary to recommendations from other Ministries.
When the overland route is completed for the Olympics in 2010, $300 million dollars will have been spent.
There's a good chance that environmentally much more will be lost due to the route travelling through two sensitive wetlands.
More cars and trucks will continue to use the route, resulting in increase of accidents and environmental impact from that.
However, at least two generations will be affected economically by this ill-advised route.
And the province's response to protest against this route? Get the court to order an injunction and prosecute without any valid charges being filed.
At the same time, the construction company is supporting this prosecution.
So, in short, the BC Ministry of Transportation is violating provincial conservation acts by building this route.
They are also violating international law, but the court considers that to be out of their hands.
Thus the courts are making a mockey of justice by legitimizing an illegitimate act!
Please boycott the 2010 Olympics at Whistler, BC.
