Mayor of Sooke stands with other mayors requesting more pipeline consultation
–SPN News
According to a few tweets on Twitter, it would appear that Sooke mayor Maja Tait has added her voice to other mayors who are requesting that more public consultation take place before the Trans Mountain Expansion Project (Kinder Morgan) is approved. They want the federal government to reject approval for the construction of the pipeline. The pipeline, if approved, will move 900,000 barrels of oil a day.
The following tweet from Twitter User Larissa Stendie (@LKStendie) shows Tait in the background on the right. The banner reads, “Does Kinder Morgan fit your vision for the Coast?”

Sooke Council has previously expressed concerns about potential damage to the Juan de Fuca coastline should a significant oil spill from water transport occur.
No official statement has been released from the District of Sooke.
(An online questionnaire available until September 30, 2016, will allow Canadians who are unable to meet the panel in person to provide their views on the proposed pipeline. –Federal Government News)

Where is that dislike button
Has this been approved by the people of Sooke for her to stand with this group of people or is this her personal approach????
900.000 barrels a day on our coast,,,I am glad she’s there
Common sense approach imo.
That is Don Sam the chief of Tsartlip band in Brentwood bay. He opposes the pipeline so let’s not jump to conclusions till it’s said from her mouth.
More information = knowledge = power… I can’t blame anyone for seeking information.
Not blaming. Just sharing as well
Yasmin Bearwithme Cool beans! Without knowledge all we have are personal biases. BTW – I could have said fault instead of blame… 6 of 1, half dozen of the other. ☺️
Good clean energy for Canada, EH? Here is one area of the Oil Sands disaster. reject that pipeline, it is a disaster waiting to happen
Build the pipelines and get people working.
