More than half of B.C. residents think Premier John Horgan and his government made the right call to finish the dam project.

In a new Angus Reid Institute survey, 52 per cent of respondents agree that the NDP government was right to proceed with the Site C project after reviewing the mega dam that was started under Christy Clark’s Liberal government.

Just 26 per cent said it was the wrong decision, while 23 per cent said they were unsure.

The controversial project had been a major campaign issue leading up to last year’s provincial election, with Horgan promising to send the project to a review if the B.C. NDP was elected.

Last month, Horgan announced “with a heavy heart” that the province would forge ahead with the now $10.7-billion project, after it was found the project had proceeded too far to be stopped completely. To cancel the project meant the province would lose millions due to a ballooning budget.
