Green Party Leader Elizabeth May represents Saanich-Gulf Islands, B.C.
We are a long way from the worst. Humanity still has a chance to reduce our risks to those to which we can adapt. Still, British Columbia has had staggering losses.
This government would flunk any test for transparency. Why are new programs, such as Build Canada Homes, the Major Projects Office and the Defence procurement office being established as ‘special operating agencies’ under the Treasury Board’s cloak of confidentiality?
I can lament the failure of the B.C. NDP and the federal Liberals to keep their promises, while praying that the likely spills will be averted by sheer luck.

We only lack the political will to remove jurisdictional obstacles that hold us back from ensuring that Canada’s electricity grid is smart and integrated.
Surprisingly, the whole notion that the primary obligation of directors is to shareholders is a relatively new idea.
Those responsible must be brought to justice. So, too, must those in security agencies who undermine our intelligence services through leaks to media.
