Poll: British Columbians oppose ALR land removal
Christmas shopping on my lunch break meant I'm doing a Tuesday lunch blog instead!
24 Hours (Vancouver) reported today that a majority of British Columbians oppose the treaty that would remove land from the Agricultural Land Reserve in Delta, to be used in Deltaport's expansion. I'm very glad about this news. The writer made a point that the Government's priorities are "out of step" with British Columbians.
I can't find the article on the website at the moment but you can download today's paper through the above link.
Back to work!

Good to know! I am always worried about removal of land from the ALR. BTW, I reached 500 posts today!
Wow, congrats, Raul! I’ll let you know when I reach 200 ;)
