Then on Thursday, when asked about public feedback, he said that he heard “the MLA” had feedback but laughed off the notion he ever talked to anyone local himself. He’s too important. Who can even remember something so quaint as this. That’s about 4mins in here. www.youtube.com/live/HrglmvI...

“I hear from lots of people who are actual residents of the area that send me messages saying, ‘This is a good thing,’” he said. Sounds like he’s been deep in the local convo!

By the way. Disdain for the public is never a good look. Two weeks ago, on Oct 30th, the Premier was all over this golf course as a positive possibility. Said he talked to lots of local people. I wasn’t having that as you see. www.ctvnews.ca/atlantic/nov...

The weather was awful but people came anyway. We raised $825 for Hunters Mountain. The cheer was good. I am as always, very proud of my home. Here’s our rally on CBC. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Then on Sunday, we had a rally planned, and we did that as well. Our Park had been spared, but only for now. And we are in solidarity with our neighbours at Hunters Mountain, who are winterizing their encampment. And with everywhere in Nova Scotia that is trying to make a public say matter.

It went really, really well. No one came with conflict to hash out. People came with open hearts wanting to help. We served tea, many people brought food to share. We could even laugh, and after many tense weeks, it felt good. The presentations were well researched. Audience questions were on point.

we needed an event that prioritized the community’s ability to come together. We would only present info that had paperwork to back it up. We would not tolerate anyone with an axe to grind. We said, we will find a way to move forward together. Which we still need to do, so, we still held the event.

We had two events planned. After Thursday’s announcement, we held them anyway. The first was a community information session. Presenters spoke about history, ecology, & legislation. Rumours and speculation are rampant every time this comes up, and tempers flare. We learned from past golf shitstorms.

It should never have happened in the first place. @nsgov.bsky.social Close the legislative loopholes. Protect what is “protected.” Stop doing this to our community, or to any community. You can walk away from it unbothered and pretend it meant little, but we live here. We live with what it meant.

I don’t celebrate this, bc it could happen a fourth time. And everyone who was fighting it is entirely depleted. I missed weeks of work, for this. It was stressful for anyone sticking their neck out in a small place. I had a taste of what people have been through here over and over, and, I hated it.

He talks like he barely saw it(he’s busy!), that it was not even at the stage of real consultation. We have FOIPOPS from September though, that hint more clearly at a likelihood that the ink was almost dry on this. Wording here still gives room to wiggle out of that accusation but locally, we knew.

Not to bury the lead, but it worked, for now. Last Thursday the premier announced that the project would not go ahead. Notably however, he chose his words carefully. It’s not a no. It’s just a no for now. And he spoke like it was no big deal, a proposal that barely existed www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

But we put ourselves into it. This is an issue that has been painful for the community every time it has come up. Division. Rumours. Old wounds. We made every step we took a conscious effort to protect a place we loved, and a community we loved. That was all a risk we had to take on. It was hard.

It is deeply unfair that small communities have to bear this every time someone with $$ in their eyes comes along. Regular people fighting for something they love vs the force of government will, the money of developers, PR machines and platforms. “Protected” should mean something.

I got involved because a 3rd time is too much- no means no. Defending public land from private developers has fallen largely on a few dedicated community members. Myself and others wanted to share the burden. Last time, we watched those people get villainized, and would not stand for that this time.

the Nova Scotia government is now pursuing an aggressive natural resource extraction agenda to fill the coffers and ameliorate their massive deficit. As such, Cabot, the golf company, saw an opportune time to take a third shot at acquiring West Mabou Beach Provincial Park. It did in 2018 and 2023.
