Nova Scotia Tories will scuttle own environmental legacy if they give green light to golf course on protected land
, where proposed new Cabot golf resort developments targeting state parks and sensitive ecological and cultural areas are meeting with significant local opposition and political blowback.“The province is all rooting for Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs to bring tourism back to Nova Scotia,” they say. Say what?
It’s also important to note that Cabot’s first golf courses in Inverness were built on former industrial coalfields, reclaimed at great public expense. It’s a good example of industrial brownfield redevelopment. The municipality, which owned the land and wanted to see it redeveloped, sold it to Cabot for a dollar. Fair enough. But the situation at West Mabou is completely different. It is not a polluted former industrial site and it is not municipal land.
They believe they are special. They are not. Cabot’s executives would be well advised to show some respect and cease their divisive behaviour or they riskIt is, of course, reasonable for the province to want to attract foreign investment. But that only works for Nova Scotia if those investors spend their own money. Not if they’re going to use taxpayer money and certainly not if they expect to be just given our protected public lands.
Over the years, other PC environment and natural resources ministers, including Mark Parent, David Morse and Rodney MacDonald, set new protection targets and designated important areas like Ship Harbour-Long Lake and Blue Mountain-Birch Cove Lakes Wilderness Areas among others.
