High Blood Pressure is second which could be cured

Smoking is third which can be cured by outlawing tobacco

If BC has a moral obligation to develop LNG to  save “500,000 Chinese dying each year attributed to air pollution specific to coal “, then I dearly hope Mr. Wilson will also explain his views on the thermal coal shipments we’ve exported to Asia for years, and why doesn’t BC also have a moral obligation to immediately put a halt to the Surrey Fraser Docks  Thermal Coal Facility?

As to Mr. Wilson's foray into have given 37 one-on-one community talks on the benefits of LNG over COAL, why is it only North Saanich that has been reported on?  Were the other 36 talks given in China?
