It was small.

It was inconsequential

It's all been cleaned up, so stop complaining.

Oh.

And by the way, we've closed the fishery.


....Effective immediately and until further notice, the following portions of Area 28: Subareas 28-6 to 28-9 inclusive are closed to fishing for all shellfish and groundfish species. This area includes those waters easterly of a line drawn between Point Grey to Point Atkinson to the westerly side of the Lions Gate Bridge. 

 This closure is in response to a fuel spill in English Bay on April 9, 2015 and is a precautionary measure...


Go figure.

For a so called "free enterprise party" they sure don't mind giving away assets at firesale prices, signing multi decade power contracts for 3 times the going price. I Know the Soo river private power project which, as far as I know was one of the first ones built, was under a NDP government back in the nineties and would be interesting to see what kind of contract was signed at the time.
