Comment on OIL TANK REMOVAL VANCOUVER by Gale Leitch

Nobody has replied as to why West Vancouverites should pay $525 for a permit to have an oil tank removed whereas there is NO permit required in Langley, BC. Once again, need and capitalism = GREED! Playing on people’s fears and charging far too much for simple earth removal and analysis. GREED, GREED, GREED! Thankfully, I’m not the only West Vancouverite to complain to current mayor and council about this unfairness. West Vancouver’s mayor doesn’t give a rat’s ass about anyone so she did nothing about it. The self-appointed Queen of West Vancouver has her own totalitarian vision of West Vancouver and cares little about what her “subjects” have to say, especially the older and elderly ones!

Mark Annis said, “… cleaning up this mess could exceed $50,000.00.” At what rate per hour? With who doing it? Oh, yah. These companies get people - no education, only brawn required - to clean up the site. They pay them maybe $25 per hour and the company makes 3 times that. They’re all men, of course. So it’s men ripping off everyone, yet again! The biggest con going. Well, I had my tank removed. The soil was analyzed and found to contain no contamination whatsoever! The environmental company guy was at the property for a maxium of 15 minutes. I can only imagine that it took him only an hour or so to analyze the soil. And for that he charged me $1500-2000. This entire thing is a complete scam. None of this need cost that much - it’s just a bunch of men taking advantage of a situation. Capitalism breeds greed.
