Re: “Malahat mess snarls thousands,” May 25.
With two of my golfing buddies, I was stuck on the Malahat Thursday. We made it home through Port Renfrew eventually.
Any thinking person understands that an alternate route is necessary, be it a bridge, new road or expanded ferry service. Our country has been hijacked by special-interest groups who would take us back into the dark ages and paralyze us into inaction. Building a national railroad or national highway would now be impossible.
I have been to London, England, where a new subway has been built through Roman ruins, to New York City where they are building a subway leg through solid rock, and to Boston where they built the “Big Cut” through the heart of the city.
I’m left disgusted by our lack of political will to get anything done these days. What has become of this once great-country?
