So is that what you are recommending for Halifax? What if a Canadian
owns property on the water, should he be able to restrict the public

was available to all Canadian citizens (we wouldn't want to have any
"foreigners" up there) it would save Canadians a ton of money on public
parks. I think you have come up with a great idea. I am curious, why
didn't the Canadian government buy the land when it was cheap to insure
public access for future generations? Sounds to me like you are venting
your frustration at the wrong people.


Venting? Actually, I started off just posting some good news that might
be interesting to local and even international cruising boaters.
JohnH got very defensive and now you are doing what you do best.

I'm not defensive. You blamed your woes on 'rich Americans' but provided no
proof that Americans were involved or that they destroyed the islands. If
and when you do so, I'll feel horribly ashamed for those folks.

The bottom line is that *Canadians* sold the property! Cast your aspersions
on them first.
