That is evident by the 116,000 signatures obtained in 4 days on Avaaz.
V.R. land had a segment on the 6 pm news tonight about New Tecumseth and Cookstown being concerned about truck traffic from Highlands through their communities and have called for a more comprehensive traffic study than the one that Highlands did.
I mean seriously, Highland's studies showed up to 7,200 trucks a day on County Road 124 and all the trucks on their study just disappeared at Primrose.
As Uncle Bobby would say, "It's magic".Also this article appeared today which is just another wonderful piece of reporting.
Highlites include:
"The proposed mega-quarry is a threat to all Canadians, says Emma Ruby-Sachs, a campaign director for Avaaz.
The Highland application states that the quarry would create 465 jobs, and over $140 million in annual local spending.But critics say the application does not take into account the number of jobs that could be lost.
“Tourism in the [region] is estimated to have a $100 million annual impact in our region, creating approximately 1400 jobs,” says Hills of Headwaters Executive Director Michele Harris.Politicians from across the floor have joined local residents, farmers, and environmental groups in voicing their opposition to the quarry."
Really? "Politicians from across the floor are voicing their opinions"... BEFORE they have seen peer reviews? Hasn't Melancthon Council informed them that they HAVE TO REMAIN NEUTRAL?! LOL!
ReplyDeleteSilly rabbit....all elected officials EXEPT Melancthon politicians are allowed to voice their concerns. Melancthon elected officials, not so much. Still waiting on the explanation why.....but that must be in camera stuff. I just can NOT keep up with what the public is allowed to know and not allowed to know.
