"Charles Langlois says:
I wish you and your compatriots the best of luck in your attempts to stop this facility, Elaine.
My gut feeling is that it will go ahead, despite the hype and negativity you and the other naysayers present to the public. Once again, the local MLA and the protest group she has to fight this project do not speak for me, nor numerous other folks in the municipality.
Unless those who oppose the project, be it you or other persons, can bring proof to back up the claims of how bad this project is in general and the horrible environmental effects that will allegedly occur, there is no validity to the claims."
Tantramar has shown itself for years as being anti-oil and gas when it comes to their elected leaders / politicians who are said to represent us all. The truth is that many people know full well that fossil fuels are still an important part of our lives in cold Canada. What we don't seem to be able to do is reach a consensus about their value to our lives. Why is that?
While its true that affluent people such as Thaddeus Holownia [retired art professor, photographer, celebrated local with big payout prizes .. His uncle gave him his first camera. Decades later, he has received a prestigious award | CBC News .. and .. Fine Arts research professor Thaddeus Holownia selected for 14th Annual Scotiabank Photography Award Shortlist | Mount Allison] can afford to drive a Tesla tied to the grid and choose to be less fossil fuels dependant than mere pions such as myself [don't own a car since 2016 or fly on airplanes since 2010]... I think its important that people still have their right to use fossil fuel power cars and energy.
