Hi Dusan & All, July 16, 2012
Yes the Province should buy this land but at a price set by Danny =
Williams or equivalent. These vulture companies are really pirates and =
should be treated as such.
Much of this land was bought during the depression, probably for =
little more than a song. So Resolute should get a song adjusted for =
depreciation of the dollar.

Together we can save it!

always ours. Let's BUY BACK THE MERSEY!=20
If that land gets sold, Nova Scotians ask, can we still hunt back =
there? Can we fish? Can we access our camps?=20
Can we canoe, kayak, or run our ATVs? How about the incredible network =

the St. Margaret's Bay Back Country Coalition, the BBCC, with the land's =
fate clearly in the balance, has been hard at work poring over maps, =

case. Roughly the lands can be saved in thirds:
- SAVE 1/3 AS A PROTECTED AREA
- MANAGE THE REST AS A WORKING FOREST FOR, WITH, AND BY NOVA SCOTIANS
- USE ALL THE LANDS AS WE ALWAYS HAVE, FOR HUNTING, FISHING, AND =
RECREATION
