Funny, I was just about to say something about sexism & misogyny around this dam project when this arrived. Dreck like this doesn't deter us, boys; we are dealing with far worse than you on #SiteC. Also, how many fallacies can you pack into one email? 
I have a huge collection of these. It's hilarious & telling that he focuses on the woman who uploaded the petition (LeadNow just lists the name of whoever uploaded it - which is annoying) & imagines there isn't a whole group behind this. I guess he's calling us all the C word?
He has also managed to pack into this one sad message the sunk cost fallacy, the fallacy that the project is "half done," and... "billion dollar"? If only. Bud, you mean multibillion, right? You mean $20 billion, perhaps.
By the way, that troll's name is very unlikely to be "Yousef" in real life. It's Dave or Wayne or Sparky or something. Don't think I'm fooled by your use of an ostensibly Muslim name, Dave.
(No offense to the Daves and Waynes I know and love)
..I only exhibited this example of misogyny because I wanted to expose something about these megaprojects, their culture, & their man camps which invariably lead to #MMIWG. #bcpoli thenarwhal.ca/violence-again…
..I think on a broader level there's a certain type of man who feels his 'masculinity' is strengthened by connection to these brute concrete megaprojects, not mentioning any names (Horgan?). It's a fact that BC women overwhelmingly oppose #SiteC; men not so much.
..In 2017 my group used a professional survey co. to poll BCers on #SiteC. By a huge margin, BC women were more opposed to #SiteC than men; it was the largest demographic division. In BC elections, if no men voted, #SiteC would be no more. I leave it to you to explain why #bcpoli
