I live on Gabriola Island and have passed the Woodfibre LNG floatel many times on my way into Nanaimo over the last few months.
How can a municipal government hold up the accommodation of a billion-dollar project with some rather lame protests? And drag their feet on it. Didn’t they notice it is entirely self-contained and on an ocean not on land?
I have lived in many camps over my career (Kitimat, Fort Nelson, McKenzie, etc.) and none of them have given any problem to the local inhabitants.
We are too busy working 10-hour days, 24 days in a row to wander into your town.
Didn’t you have a pulp mill here for many years with a ferry just south of town?
So please, cease your shenanigans and take care of local businesses such as sewers, water, roads and law.
