Somebody needs to stand up for B.C

I do not understand how anybody can believe that Premier Christy Clark really is going to stand up for our province when it comes to the Enbridge pipelines. The last thing we need is her price tag on this catastrophe-in-waiting.

Coleman's trip sparks questions

Re: "ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ minister off to London," July 28. Rich Coleman is heading to London? During the Olympics? For a conference on energy? Organized by Gordon Campbell? On the taxpayers' dime? Say it ain't so Jon Blair Sidney
