Elsipogtog comment contradicts assertions Indigenous First Nations & groups were consulted on Chignecto gas plant |
Some commentary on the article was as follows:
Thank you Bruce Wark for keeping us so well informed about this proposed Chignecto Gas Plant project. Without you and your investigative journalism, Tantramar residents would truly be in the dark about what’s really going on behind the scenes. Our NB government, NB Power (and the American plant builder) do not seem to be operating in good faith."
If there were cars that released cyanide or radiation, using them would not be “a choice for individuals to make” it would be a matter of public safety. The same is true of fossil fuels. Their use is so prevalent that they will have to be gradually phased out, not suddenly stopped, but they do have to stop being used eventually.
It’s a fact that fossil fuel carbon emissions are damaging the environment, health, and the economy. People shouldn’t be stigmatized for still relying on fossil fuels, they should be encouraged to make better choices, given incentives to change, and given practical options. But we will either change or suffer more and more wildfires, droughts, failed crops, coastal erosion, species extinction, failing fisheries, economic losses, larger storms, etc etc. No amount of “green cultist” slurs are going to change the reality that pumping fossil carbon into the air is disruptive, damaging, and causing global warming."
Crown’s duty to consult and the need for meaningful reconciliation efforts
Give me a break. They are NOT a stakeholder in any way at all in this project. Just trying to grab more power and more MONEY."
If you are 100% anti-fossils in general it seems to me that you would find every single development of this type of project to be in “bad faith” which is unfortunate because as Charles Langlois states at this comments section there are many of us in the silent majority who do not share your views and are pro-oil and gas and their development in Canada for the benefit of all.. we are often confused because we support people and their right to EV cars but don’t understand why they don’t see it as a choice for individuals to make.. I don’t even have a car, haven’t since 2016, but I see the value in owning and operating a vehicle running on gas and not “tied to the electric grid”. We never have a voice though.. we are maligned as “uninformed” in this university town of green cultists who go along to get along."
So what are the legal ramifications for the people in our region for calling themselves "unceded" and "settlers"? Do you really have to be a genius to figure that out?
Ron Kelly Spurles long time trougher at the Town Hall and "Tourism Manager" among other things tells us his stance as "UNCEDED" with his sticker on his laptop... but why? His wife is radical professor Patricia Kelly Spurles employed by Mount Allison University - she is a woman responsible for "race based hiring" [for the first time] at the University as part of the "Truth and Reconciliation" efforts on campus and in our town.
After considering the problems that "UNCEDED" is making for all New Brunswickers in 2025 is it wise to continue to advocate this position in Town Hall? Discuss.
