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?

He's been asked to show that the rich sons of bitches were, in fact,
Americans as he alleged. I haven't seen his response to that yet.

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?

Read closer... regular Canadians, with our govt as partner, are doing
just that.
How much you want for the whole country? :)

Are you gonna buy the French part too? Who will you sell it to?

just nuke the french part.

Or that.

The French are into glass. That'd work.

About 11 years ago we had a Norwegian au-pair.

About 10 years ago we had a German au-pair.

About 9 years ago we had a Swedish au-pair.

About 8 years ago we had another German au-pair.

More fuel for their ???.


Come to think of it, I need to get au-pair of new sneakers.
Thanks for the reminder.

Damn, you just can't understand what you've read, can you?


Colicky Bill must be dippin' into the sauce again.

And I thought you finally had risen above the cesspool. Wrong again.

Bill, did you ever find where I said that the earth was only 6000 years
old? I'd really like to see that.

I missed the beginning of this one. Is Bert talking about his fantasy sex
life again?


I have no clue what he's talking about. I've stopped following these goofy
threads.

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?

On a serious note, I have heard the French Canadians are snotty little
SOB's. All the French Canadians I have meet were really very nice. My
feeling is one on one they are great people, with a little bit of an
inferiority complex due to them being a minority in Canada.

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.

It's almost always "good" when this sort of development is stopped, no
matter how.

I'm still happy over the fact that our county commissioners and the
local voters stopped Wal-Mart dead in its tracks with an intention to
build some sort of "superstore" down here. The county continues to raise
its "impact" fee to discourage tract builders. But we do encourage
locally owned small businesses in existing commercial areas. Waterfront
development is allowed but the controls are pretty strict.
The local battle cry is, "Let's not become another Fairfax County."
Fairfax County is a densely populated county in Northern Virginia that
used to be a pleasant place to live. Not anymore. It's overdeveloped,
with clogged roads, overcrowded schools, declining infrastructure,
million dollar houses on an eighth of an acre lots, the whole catastrophe.

It's so bad no one will move here! All those 'bad' things, including our
local Wal Mart, are what drove the house prices so far up. Oh, please get
me out of this briar patch!
