   I read your prose and what I read is exactly as follows:   
      
      
   It doesn't take too much projection to connect the facts that the   
   Harper   
   government wants to turn Granville Island over to the Port Metro   
   federal   
   jurisdiction - and CP Rail now wants the Arbutus Corridor rail lines   
   'cleaned up'.  People of Vancouver, stay alert . . .  this could   
   affect   
   the quality of life for many, many Vancouverites.  Even the very rich   
   ones.  Harper is intent on getting Albertan oil to the west coast.   
   This   
   is likely how he plans to do it .   
      
      
   Now, please tell us how one should interpret your "This is likely how   
   he plans to do it." I know that you also speak French, so let's put it   
   in French: "C'est, selon toute vraisemblance, la manière dont il   
   compte le faire". "To do it", "dont il compte le faire". To do what?   
   Faire quoi? Do you, at least, know where Granville Island and the   
   Arbutus corridor are? Do you know where Burnaby and Kitimat are? Do   
   you know the difference between the proposed Enbridge pipeline and the   
   proposed twinning of the Kinder Morgan pipeline? I've never been to   
   Kitimat but, living in the Vancouver area, I know where Burnaby is.
