Re: “Public hearing security a bit overdone,” Jan. 5.

The hearing into the Northern Gateway pipeline at the Delta Ocean Point was unbelievably arrogant. No riff- raff wanted! Members of the public, residents of B.C. and elected members of Parliament have a right, even if not registered, to attend.

We live in Canada, a free democratic society. This meeting appears to be controlled by politicians and big business and is not democratic. If there is nothing to hide, a free discussion should be welcome.
