To the Editor,
Re: SFN plans legal action over water, March 8.
This is one of the only times I’ll give the City of Nanaimo a carte-blanche go-ahead to spend my tax money to fight Chief Douglas White and the Snuneymuxw First Nations hierarchy.
Stand up and say no because White and his gang are only after more of my money.
The band was offered cash during the water-sharing agreement talks between the city and pulp mill, but the band said no because it wants even more money.
Let’s be honest, it’s greed.
I’ll fight anyone who tries to skew and cloud this – the issue is money. If not, then let’s have White say he and his council will not take any money whatsoever concerning the water issue.
Mayor John Ruttan trembled to the band council last month during that news conference while the chief stood tall.
Ruttan should have stood firm as well, and not opened his mouth and offered a thing without being well informed on the subject and with council’s backing.
Where are those high-paid senior bureaucrats when you need their guidance anyway?
What are our taxes paying for anyway?
