The 211-acre island in Cascumpec Bay sits just off 400 metres northeast of Alberton and is uninhabited, making it a haven for bird colonies and small mammals over the years. NCC usually targets offshore islands for its land conservation efforts in the Maritimes, as they often see little human interaction.
“We knew that there was interest in seeing this area conserved from their point of view because of its cultural significance,” she said. Lennox Island First Nation Chief Darlene Bernard told SaltWire Network on Nov. 10 that it is crucial to protect the island for future generations. “With colonization and residential schools, all of those things that marginalize the Mi’kmaw had pushed us away from the work that we’d done and the principles that our ancestors lived by,” she said.

With political will, long-range artillery systems are in Canada’s sightsCanadian production of long-range ballistic artillery and direct-fire systems is within reach if there is political will in Ottawa to do so. The capital investments required are actually relatively small for the strategic capabilities and capacity that can be brought online. Many in Canada seem ill-informed about the industrial capabilities that have been developing right here at home over the past 25-plus years. While a great deal of this industrial capability has been developed to serve the energy sector, nuclear power, and other advanced manufacturing supply chains in civilian applications, this same small and medium-sized enterprise industrial base (largely found in Ontario and Quebec) is already being used to support the United States government with the Canadian Commercial Corporation Act and the Defence Production Sharing Agreement, as well as through U.S. manufacturers. That notwithstanding, the details of this reality seem to evade the radar of many in Canada. A recent Hill Times column suggested that it is not possible in the foreseeable future to produce long-range artillery systems in Canada. This only illustrates that the article’s author does not know what industrial capabilities and capacity exist in Canada to start with, nor are they aware of what is required and how long it will take to close the capability gap from where the Canadian industrial base is today to where it needs to be to produce this type of hardware. Canada is not currently in a position to produce long-range artillery systems without aid from other allies. The fact is this has not been done in Canada since the Korean War. Investments must be made. However, if there is continued political will across allies then partnership with the United States, the United Kingdom, and other nations—including other NATO members—with prime manufacturers who agree to share technical knowledge can make this a reality in a timeframe of 24 months or less. The most immediate and obvious option is the M77
