Let's make Vancouver Island railway a success

Dear editor, Taxpayers have already invested $236 million in the Vancouver Island railroad with a 2006 tax credit to CPR.

Dear editor,Golly, taxpayers have already invested $236 million in the Vancouver Island railroad by giving CPR a 2006 tax credit for the E&N donation of railway land — our land.Let's make it work. It looks like the Raven project is a factor in short-term economic success, but the long term depends on many Vancouver Island communities. Let's make this a success — not a Third World, two-bit shoestring service for the next 10 years.Phil Harrison,Comox
