Get Moving BC

Welcome to the rest of the world!

The David Suzuki World Tour has Black Press columnist Tom Fletcher thinking. Fletcher is excited at the possibility that Suzuki may learn a thing or two about the south Fraser region, as his column in the the Tri-City News says:

Then there's Suzuki, motoring across the country in a big diesel campaign bus with his huge portrait on the side. Greenhouse gas emissions aside, it's an appropriate choice of vehicle, given that he seemed to spend much of his tour running against Stephen Harper. It's difficult to see any other point of the tour than to bask Gore-like in the adulation of factually challenged urban sophisticates.

I hope that at least Suzuki's campaign bus rolled down Highway 1, through the Fraser Valley and over the five-lane Port Mann bridge. It's an educational view too seldom seen by Kitsilano residents.

Too many people who never use the south of the Fraser transportation network speak out against it. There are a million people on this side of the river, more than there were in the entire Lower Mainland region when the Port Mann opened.

At Get Moving BC, we say yes to both transit and transportation improvements: we need them both.
