Editor: Re: Township stays put, for now (The Times, June 26).
I’m not surprised that Langley Township backed out of any decision to leave the GVRD and TransLink. I understand why they would do this; it is a big undertaking and it would be risky and a hard move.
This council (as with past councillors who still sit on the council) are a weak-minded bunch who are prone to do what is easy, calling it in the “best interest” of the community.
They don’t want to bite off more than they can chew because chewing takes work. This council is not big on work. They like their 10 minute drive to work and like to complain about the rest of the so-called Metro Vancouver, but aren’t willing to take on the task of slaying the dragon.
It’s easy to just appease the dragon and this council is an enabler. It is so sad that we’ve elected weak-minded individuals who shun any type of risk or challenge. I’m pretty sure you will toe the line with the Metro Vancouver Board’s decision to not allow you to build on Trinity Western University. It’s easier to go along with them than to play hard-ball.
