Today I filed my papers to run for councillor in the by-election for the city of Prince Rupert.
Prince Rupert is experiencing a new beginning. Trade and Commerce is seriously looking at our City, the latest being a $36 billion dollar LNG proposal from Petronas.
The Northern Gateway Project, although going through to Kitimat, and Enbridge have all set their sites on Prince Rupert.
Our City has the best facilities and most prestine shoreline in the world.
We must find a balance between the economy and the environment. In essence we are making decisions today which will determine our survival not only economic and political, but rather the survival of our children and our grandchildren.
