Dear Editor
So Fraser Surrey Docks wishes to change their plans for a coal dock on the Fraser to load the coal directly into ships instead of barges.
On Oct. 2, 2013, a delightful, sunny Sunday, a rally was held on the Quay in New Westminster to oppose the plans for the coal dock. Across the river at FSD, a ship was being loaded when a large cloud of dust erupted into the air. We were not sure what type of cargo was being loaded, but are we to believe the same situation will not occur if coal is the cargo?
We can only hope by the time the tunnel is gone, China will no longer need this U.S. coal and FSD will have aborted their plans.
