Kublalsingh gets support from Canadian activists

CANADIAN residents are calling on Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to immediately meet with Dr Wayne Kublalsingh and begin a review of the San Fernando to Point Fortin Highway, Debe to Mon Desir section

The Canadians delivered a letter on Tuesday to Dr Vidhya Gyan Tota-Maharaj, consul general for the Consulate General for the Republic of  Trinidad and Tobago in Toronto, Canada.

"Dr Kublalsingh has blazed the way for environmental justice in Trinidad and Tobago," said Sakura Saunders of the Mining Injustice Solidarity Network who  hand- delivered the letter.

Today is Kublalsingh's 15th day of his hunger strike-not eating or drinking anything.

He is only accepting intravenous (IV) fluids .

The letter called on Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to keep her promise to stop the project and review its feasibility.

"Instead of intimidation through police barricades at her office, calling Dr Kublalsingh a fool and questioning the truth of the fast itself, Prime Minister Kamla should meet with Dr Kublalsingh and honour the promises she has made to the concerned residents of the proposed route who are being threatened not only with environmental destruction to the lagoon and annual flooding, but the outright displacement of over 300 families that have lived with and worked the land for generations," the letter states.

 I think that Dr. Kublalsingh is doing the wrong thing, he should atleast eat a meal but that is just my opinion. What do you think?
