Hi Paul,
Here's something that I hope you can post for Transport 2000 Atlantic:
On Monday July 8th, John Hamm's Nova Scotia government ordered ballot boxes
for the next election which is rumored to be coming in October of 20002.
When these candidates come to your door please ask them their opinions/point
of view on sustainable transportation policy and its effects on the
environment. Also ask them what their opinion is on developing and
implementing a strategic and comprehensive plan for the future of
transportation in Nova Scotia.
Transport 2000 Atlantic has been pushing for commuter rail and better bus
funding for the HRM as well as a commitment to preserve the rail link to
industrial Cape Breton and to stop predatory pricing wars in the airline
industry. Our current governments at all three levels have not achieved any
of these three goals yet and we would like to know why.
Thanks Paul.
Tim Doyle,
Board Member
