Not sure why you singled out one very small city when there are much better examples that you could have used.
There are no better examples of environmental hypocrisy. The residents of greater Victoria have elected the only "Green" MP (federally) and the only "Green" MLA (provincially) that exist in Canada. Yet they consistently resist the cost of treating their crap before they pump it out into a huge dead (now, due to the poop and related substances) zone in the Juan De Fuca Strait. There are other examples, yes, but none with a greater lack of justification and hypocrisy. It doesn't matter what the "currents" are - it is a mega amount of toxic crap being pumped directly into the ocean!! It is not a "small" amount at all - it is from a metropolitan area of 300,000 + people.
Amazing how the municipal authorities can talk out of both sides of their mouth when it comes to this (?). It is appalling, unjustified, and unnecessary in any context of modern government. I would love to see how E. May really thinks about this atrocious example of environmental irresponsibility. Or does that only apply to "conservative" ridings?
