Duck Defenders of Tantramar... its really a thing.
There is a legit question to be asked why the original project did not include the original cost for the wetlands. However, you are not allowed to destroy wetlands, it’s the law. Has been for a long time, and in many places across the world. Wetlands are important for many aspects of the ecosystem, not just “land for ducks”."
“is anyone else buying this spiel?” Yes, Sally, anyone who has taken courses in environmental sciences, or has gone on-line and learned about the subject from scientific articles, is aware of the importance and value of wetlands as natural filters that reduce the amount of contaminants and excess nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus that enter waterbodies. They are also important in their roles as carbon sinks and maintaining biodiversity on our tiny planet. Instead of commenting on the subject of wetlands that you apparently know nothing about, you might want to first try reading some factual articles on the subject, or do you find that too tiresome?"
Commentary at Bruce Wark's website this week from Chris Harborne and Les Hicks in response to this statement:

What a crony conservationalist con they are running here…. with zero push-back.
Protect the ducks…. steal more land for the ducks… is anyone else buying this spiel?"
