Wow! Three islands saved from development and left for boaters to
enjoy. It doesn't get any better than this.
see.. 'Surprise Announcement'
www.mahoneislands.ns.ca

note: a number of islands have been bought up by 'rich Americans'
in the last few years...some completely stripped of forestry and
signs erected warning locals to stay away.


Then maybe rich Canadians should buy the islands and donate to a
nature conservancy?



I wondered who were the dumb asses that sold the islands to those
horrible
rich Americans!



Greedy people blinded by that yankee dollah.


Don, don't you just hate those rich son of a bitches?

Not just because they are rich...it's the 'dog with a bone' attitude.
Anyone who lives in a popular coastal area would know what I'm talking
about.
Development has been fairly slow coming to these areas and the locals
have had use of the islands for generations. Someone buys up the
property, uses it for a few weeks each summer and then guards it like a
national treasure the rest of the year. No one allowed on or near the
islands. Some even try to evict boaters anchoring in the coves...
although they only own property above the high water mark.

Hey Don, you alleged earlier that Americans bought and destroyed the
islands. Now you're saying 'someone'. Who was it? Where are the scenes of
the islands 'stripped of forestry' by Americans?

Scoring the thread.

First catty remark, Don White.

Scoring the thread;

First press for an argument, JohnH demanding a clarification that it
was indeed "Americans" who bought up the islands.

The coves are not theirs to protect, so locals have nothing to worry
about.

You have a very nice home today, do you allow people to picnic in your
backyard, or park their car on your front yard?

It's all about retirement and taxes.

Yeah, imagine why they'd be upset to come back during those few weeks only
to find those freeloaders had peed and **** all over the place, lit fires,
left trash and generally made a mess of it. Of course, they'd be rightfully
rather mad about it and seek ways to keep the rabble out.
