Dear Editor:
Re: Fracking fight comes to Burnaby, Burnaby NOW, April 3.
Does anyone feel that a group of people who vandalize city/government public and private property with their posters should get any respect?
The posters are everywhere between MacDonald and Gamma avenues along Hastings Street; put up in such a manner that they are not removable, not to mention the toner used on them will eventually make it down the storm drains and pollute the fish habitat.
Plus, the city will have to pay someone to remove them, which will damage the quite recent paint job so they will need to be painted again.
Who pays for that? I do!
There is a pole at the corner of Hastings Street and Willingdon Avenue that is specifically made for posters and not a single one of these was put there. Go figure!
I contacted them about this issue and the only response I received was that they hoped I made it to the action.
The residents of this community have done a great job keeping the poles nice and clean the past year and single handily this one group has ruined that.
Any group that shows such disdain for the community by vandalizing and littering it and then doesn't even have the fortitude to remove the posters after the event is not worthy of anyone's time, regardless of the message they want to get out.
