Tsawwassenites are encouraged to attend the Cross Border Coalition to Stop the Radio Towers town hall meeting tonight at 7 p.m. at Tsawwassen United Church and insist on an answer to this question: Why haven't MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay, Industry Minister James Moore and Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird taken the ethical high road on Tsawwassen's behalf?

Why haven't they got KRPI's plan to erect its 50,000-watt border-blasting AM radio transmitter cancelled through direct contact with their counterparts in Washington, DC? It's the only ethical action that Findlay, Moore and Baird can take.

They must recognize that Industry Canada, for whatever reason, made a mistake when it assented to the Federal Communication Commission's decision to grant a construction permit for Point Roberts and withdraw said assent, asking that the FCC cancel its construction permit.

There's nothing unethical but everything ethical in recognizing a mistake and correcting it.
