Mr. Corrigan’s arrogance should have insulted every taxpayer in the city. His claim, to represent Burnaby’s citizens when rejecting the Kinder Morgan pipeline, is a laugh. I know many more responsible people who are in favour of developing our resources. They should outvote his supporters any time. But, in fairness, he usually gets the vote out when it counts.

It was particularly annoying to hear him dismiss the idea of tunnelling through Burnaby Mountain.

Using a tunnel has to be the least disruptive way to anyone; it’s an opening at either end with no one living in between. Yet Mr. Corrigan made it sound like Kinder Morgan was going to destroy all of Burnaby’s parkland!

It is time for a change in Burnaby!
