Transit vs. Gateway Battle Heats Up

The battle heats up over the BC Liberals' $3 billion highway megaplan, the Gateway Program. In the same pivotal weekend, while citizens and experts unite at two unique rallies to urge a massive investment in public transit over Gateway, Premier Gordon Campbell flaunts his controversial plan at two high profile events. While Gateway critics say public transit is the key to solving regional congestion challenges and fighting climate change, Campbell tries to reconcile his recent green agenda with highway expansion to an increasingly skeptical media.

Where was David Suzuki? IIRC, he was inside having dinner with Premier Campbell while his disciples protested outside in the rain.

Thanks for giving us the missing TV news coverage on this foolish highway scheme. Freeway Falcon may say this is a "done deal", but it isn't done yet!

Good job, Mr. Gillis.
