City council is talking about hiking the climate budget by $540,000 鈥 say what? Couldn鈥檛 some of that money have gone toward saving the tree?
Talk about the hypocrisy of Victoria council. On one hand, they are all for the environment and climate change, yet on the other they are razing Victoria to put in concrete 鈥 concrete highrises, roads, bike-lanes 鈥 and don鈥檛 get me started on their self-righteous talk regarding the evils of oil companies. There are many other climate polluters right here in our city. Anyone see that monstrous cruise ship make port?
