Editor,

Re: Residents oppose proposed biofuel plant on Semiahmoo land, citing concerns about air quality.

So South Surrey knickers are in a knot about a little smell in the air.

When have these NIMBY nasties ever complained about having mercury in their drinking water (Grassy Narrows) or tar sands tailing pond effluent in their rivers (Alberta oil extraction).

First Nations have never been asked to have their environment trashed.

Why should South Surrey residents be so privileged?
