- Rob's Ramblings: Trucks on the Port Mann
  Posted by RobBaxter from Rbaxter.blogspot
  The recent Vancouver Sun editorial (“Gateway is important for our future economic well-being” March 22nd) repeated the big lie that Highway One expansion is necessary to accommodate truck traffic volumes. In actual fact only 10% of the traffic on the Port Mann bridge is truck traffic. If the other 90% of drivers were given viable public transit options there would be more than enough room for truck traffic on the existing bridge.

  Betty Krawczyk was sentenced to 10 months in prison today for her involvement in protests against highway expansion at Eagleridge Bluffs. When observers of the proceedings attempted to ask questions about the extraordinary security measures in place, the court security responded by locking down the courts for almost two hours.

- Harriet Nahanee Dies
  Posted by RobBaxter from Rbaxter.blogspot
  CBC Radio is reporting that Harrie Hahanee has died. Perhaps she will be remembered as the first person to die as a result of protesting development around the 2010 Winter Olympics.
