It is great to see some attention being paid to the sewage treatment dilemma.
Great layout and timeline to get some points across. I would caution against the use of BԪַthe majority, however, argue that itBԪַs just the right thing to doBԪַ as taxpayers have not been afforded the referendum that could back up this highly speculative BԪַfact.BԪַ
Although a Canadian city, Halifax is an awfully long ways away to draw any pointed comparisons as well. Closed beaches, murky waters and general disgust along its harbour are testament to the fact that the Halifax dilemma was worlds apart from the Victoria circumstance.
It would be great to see some articles that point to the question of where pressure is coming from on this issue.
The fact that BԪַthe government requires us to treat our sewageBԪַ is pretty glossy. Exactly who is making this case and what is the evidence? What is BԪַtreatmentBԪַ specifically?
Readers will require a bit more than this hand waving that we must do as we are told and that $327 million bought Halifax a couple of cleaner beaches nearly a decade ago.
