I might be treading on dangerous ground by sending this note, which =20
appeared from Jen Graham on the Coastal Issues list, from the Nova =20
Scotia Environmental Network's Election Readiness Caucus.  Here are =20
one paragraph, and then links for more information.  Anyone who might =20=

be turned off by this can just DELETE it, but anyone who does so =20
should feel really guilty about it.  We all owe it to our environment =20=

and future generations to study this and ask candidates about =20
particular aspects of environmental parts of platforms.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
