In my honest opinion I think when someone is as strong as Pictou Landing was able to stop the pollution and the stink of the mill is probably the best thing that has happened to the environment for our land, water and air. Been a long time coming been one broken lie after another to fix it and had 50 years to do so. So I am definitely on the side too keep Nova Scotia environment clean, plus the mill had Plenty enough time to fix to keep it going. So not sure why people are upset with the Pictou Landing, it’s Mills own dam fault for the shut down.
Great Job and Thanks from the outside looking in.

Thanks to all who are calling out racism and trying to build a better future.

And yes it is company and govt that should be blamed. Why blame the victims who have had so many health issues from the toxic waste.
