Stop Poisoning Nova Scotia for Profit

Honourable Minister Guilbeault;

The Province of Nova Scotia is actively destroying essential wetlands; clearcutting healthy, mature forests; polluting our water tables and poisoning our environment.

Using affordable housing as an excuse, beneficial wetlands and poisoned gold mine tailings are being disturbed, even mature forests are being clearcut, allowing developers access to land no reasonable person would ever consider for development. Our provincial government is bulldozing its way through regulations and environmental precautions to satisfy the desires of those who will benefit in the short term from these depredations.

Consultations with the public have been cut short, Indigenous communities have been ignored and science-based studies explaining the dangers of these developments are not complete.
