Council On Vancouver Island Wants A Class Action Suit Against Fossil Fuel Companies , Meanwhile Canada’s Coals Exports Boom And Right In The Town’s Backyard.
The world gets crazier every day.
From the website of The Parksville Qualicum News:
“The Town of Qualicum Beach has committed to work with other municipal governments in the province to bring a class action lawsuit against selected global fossil fuel companies and recover the costs related to climate change.
The decision was reached by council at its regular meeting on Feb. 7 but it was not unanimous as Coun. Scott Harrison voted in opposition.”
And The Canadian Press ( story dated today) reports Canada’s coal exports are booming going from 1 million tons in 2018 to over 8 million tons in 2022.
Where does most of Canada’s coal come from?
British Columbia——-just the Province where The Town Of Qualicum is located.
Did some one say there is a new fossil fuel plant being built in Kitimat ———British Columbia ? Costs over $48 billion.
Are there are thousands of kilometres of fossil fuel pipelines all over BC?
