It was most interesting to see how the land grab by Port Metro Vancouver is being conducted.

Years ago I lived in Toronto, where The Esplanade was once the last street before the shore of Lake Ontario. Now the lake is about a half-kilometre away. In Vancouver, Water Street used to be the shoreline. Yes, there is one who can make land - Port Metro.

I was also curious what MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay would say about this as the port is federal undertaking, but her comments were missing from the article.

Might she have said, "I fully support the preservation of the Delta foreshore for marine and avian animals. I will raise this matter of the port's expansion at the federal cabinet table."
