Aquaculture Coments via Digby Courier

Comments on the Digby Courier online:

Daniel Mills - June 12, 2011 at 12:01:50 Based on past dealings with Mr.Belliveau, and his reassurances that giant wind-catchers would "have no effect on the environment", i.e. to say, the people of Waterford,Rossway,and Gullivers Cove on Digby Neck, it is laughable that he would expect us to accept that there will be "no adverse effects on the environment" in the Baie Ste Marie or the Bay of Fundy because, as he say's: "I believe in the science." (I used to believe in Fairy Tales when I was little; didn't most of us? But in time we learned that they are not true...Mr. Belliveau and Aesop seem to be coming from a similiar place and appear to hold the monopoly on myth,) It is even more interesting that Mr.Haise would say: " The last thing we want is for people in the communities to be pitted against one another" and a claim that they have been Nova Scotia for a long time. Mr. Haise cannot have had his eyes and ears wide open.....or else his head buried in the sand. That's exactly how politics is done in Nova Scotia: small town/district Municipal Councils courting all and any business that comes around behind closed doors, and when the consumation has transpired, the commercial embryo is imposed and inflicted on an unsuspecting public, to be followed by lip-service consultations of a sort which effectively mean nothing....while sides are taken,lies are spoken, and false promises for countless jobs which never happen. Those in the line of fire naturally will react negatively because there are so many unanswered questions, while those who will not see or feel the effects jump on board.......and another war begins. Divide and Conquer is the name; profits for corporations from afar and beyond haul in the dollars.

moya murphy - June 12, 2011 at 11:57:46 The Minister of the Environment is short sighted (once again) re the salmon farms. The effluent from this is disgusting, lice is rampant. Despite what they say about jobs they will be temporary with just one or two people throwing pellets into the cages. Cooke's aquaculture were refused permission to put in such huge farms in New Brunswick which is why they turned to Nova Scotia. I don't understand how they can lease part of the ocean, surely the ocean belongs to everyone. A sad day for the residents of the Islands and the Digby Neck. Moya
