Wow! Three islands saved from development and left for boaters
to enjoy. It doesn't get any better than this.

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.

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.

Don,
Great so you don't mind if we tromp through your house also to use
the bathrooms? I am planning on setting up a web page with
directions to your home and letting everyone know that "Su Casa es
Nuestra Casa".

Since you have given everyone ready access to your home and
gardens, why don't you just deed your home over the state?





You're starting to sound like one of them 'rich 'mericans'.
Go into someone else's country, run ram shod all over them & then
tell them what to do with their home, property, possessions state etc.
Oh wait a minute... that's your government you're imitating!




Wait, I just misunderstood you, you mean Canadians should have
property rights, but those rights should not be extended to non
Canadians. That should be a simple solution, just nationalize all
property owned by non Canadians. Cuba did the same thing when
Castro took over.



A neighbouring province has restrictions on how much property can be
held by non-residents and at one time taxed non-residents property at
a higher rate than locals.



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
from using this property anyway they want? If all property on the
water 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.


If I recall correctly from dealing in Mexico, they restricted ownership
of (at least) ocean front property from non nationals....the way around
it was a Meican entity to hold the title, with all the rights going to
the investor/developer. There are always ways around stupid laws such
as that.



I bet you're a cracker jack at slithering & sliding around and over
legitimate laws.

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 can not help it if you have fried / smoked your brain and can not
remember
where you said the earth is 6000 years old. Ask your wife to read it to
you.

Here he goes, as usual. He knows damned well after going back and
actually reading each word, that I never said such a thing. Now to
cover his tracks, he resorts to lies. Watch, everyone! Bill, what
evidence do you have that I've "fried / smoked (my brain)??? Now,
please, show everyone here where you got that information, plus where I
said that the earth is 6000 years old. I'd really like to see that.


You are the one that asked for help on growing your pot crop. Forgot that
part also?

Scoring the thread.

First insult hurled by JohnH; referring to a group of Canadians as
"dumb asses".

JohnH wrote:


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

Don White wrote:



John..now that you're seeing, & hopefully thinking, more clearly...go
back to the web site and look around.

Scoring the thread.

First catty remark, Don White.

I love Halifax, I wonder if Don would let me camp out in his backyard?

Scoring the thread;

Second challenge for an argument, and on a personal level, Reggie
Smithers.

So far:

Insults, John H 1, others 0
Challenge for arrument, JohnH 1, Reggie 1, others 0

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.

As long as you don't bring any 'rich Americans' with you.


Don thanks, we plan on having a family reunion with only about 50
people, and it will be nice to be able to use your backyard for a
picnic and gathering. Is it ok if we dump our portapotties in your
front yard?

We do have indoor plumbing. Are your relatives toilet trained?
If not we might be able to rent a few 'Johnny on the Spots' for the
outhouse set.
The more the merrier. We have really hungry red ants back there that
haven't had a decent meal in a while.

Don,
Great so you don't mind if we tromp through your house also to use the
bathrooms? I am planning on setting up a web page with directions to
your home and letting everyone know that "Su Casa es Nuestra Casa".

Since you have given everyone ready access to your home and gardens, why
don't you just deed your home over the state?

Scoring the thread:

Two points to Reggie. One for perpetuating an argument and another
political point for comparing Canada to Castro's Cuba
