The Editor,
Re. “Polluting tankers a dirty big secret” (Living Green, The Tri-City News, March 7).
I think your headline writer betrays a resentment of the National Energy Board concerning the recent pipeline decision.
On a column by Melissa Chaun on the dire working conditions of many of the world’s seafarers, the headline is “Polluting tankers a dirty big secret.”
Nowhere did Ms. Chaun say anything about polluting tankers. The article was about ships in general and sailors in particular.
Perhaps the intention of the headline was to not-so subtly remind us about tanker movements in B.C. waters.
