Last week, I attended a workshop in Truro and sat at a table with a couple
of folks in their early 20=92s.  Of course, we had opportunities to talk ab=
out
the way of the world.  When one of them said, =93It doesn=92t matter who yo=
u
vote for,=94 I corrected him, with emphasis.  Made very clear that for thos=
e
of us who came of age forty or fifty years ago, some current options were
entirely conceivable a generation ago.  Others, which we have been choosing=

recently, would not have been. 

 

Sorry for the rant, but you=92re right, Wayne.  We are already moving down
that damned slippery slope.

Subject: RE: [NatureNS] Cape Breton Highlands National Park - War Memorial
Monument

 

Thanks to all who have commented on this horrendous proposal. The
outrageously short time for comments is part of the weakening of the EIA
process that has occurred over the past six years.
 
  I had the good fortune to work as Chief Park Naturalist  at Cape Breton
Highlands NP from 1967-73, and Green Cove was such a fine example of the
coastal headlands ecosystem that was easily accessible that it was the firs=
t
site selected for a self-guiding trail.  The site has had one form or
another of ecological or geologic interpretation here ever since.  
The memorial is totally inappropriate here and contrary to the primary
purpose of National Parks.  Please copy your comments to politicians or
anyone else that you can interest.  It is not just the beginning of a
slippery slope for protecting our most valuable natural areas, it is well
down that slope.

br>&gt; &gt; and hence the geological effect of the construction is &quot;n=
egligible&quot;. But <br>&gt; &gt; of<br>&gt; &gt; course very little of th=
at pluton is actually exposed or accessible. It is<br>&gt; &gt; best seen a=
long the coast and, of the coastal outcrops, Green Cove is <br>&gt; &gt; be=
st -<br>&gt; &gt; that is why Martha Hild and I included it as one of the s=
ites in our book <br>&gt; &gt; on<br>&gt; &gt; the Geology of Nova Scotia.T=
he DIA also says that the environmental effect<br>&gt; &gt; of construction=
 will be negligible - I truly doubt that! Look at what is<br>&gt; &gt; bein=
g built, and where it is being built (waves crash over that outcrop). <br>&=
gt; &gt; It<br>&gt; &gt; will certainly not be part of the &quot;natural be=
auty&quot; for which the Cabot <br>&gt; &gt; Trail<br>&gt; &gt; is renowned=
 - it will be an eyesore.<br>&gt; &gt;<br>&gt; &gt; Thanks,<br>&gt; &gt; Be=
