Re: Petroleum panic a barge too far (B.C. Views, Oct. 20).
Tom Fletcher’s column was bang on.
I laughed when he described the Great Bear Rainforest as a “faux aboriginal” name from U.S. protesters. Thought I was the only one who knew that. I must admit it has made them a lot of money.
The comments about fuel to the coastal villages are accurate. I saw it firsthand when I worked on the coastal tankers back in the 1970s.
Keep up the good work.
