These lighthouses sit between the West Coast Trail, which sees thousands of hikers per year, and the graveyard of the Pacific, a famously treacherous stretch of water.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8557206\" data-originallang=\"en\">Automating these lighthouses simply will not suffice. This decision puts lives at risk and was made without consulting first nations, labour, mariners and local communities. Will the Liberals pause this plan, do the proper consultation and invest in keeping coastal people safe?</p>",
