Those Conservative motherfuckers.

Nova Scotia could have fracking operations by July.

In Nova Scotia we depend on our ground water. It is very finite, without price, and once those goobers have fracked it, the damage is forever.

A fucking moment, a flash of money for Rodney Richpigge, who you can be damn sure will never drink that water, then forever the poison spreads to other water tables.

It is beyond insane, it is a crime against every person in the province.

God damned Conservatives.

That's the bit kills me about this - the money will last a moment, a fucking moment and no books will get balanced no deficits will be reduced no jobs will be here the moment ends and for ever after the carcinagenic soup in the ground follows the fractures in the bedrock and spread but hey FrackCo878997 declared bankruptcy so middle corporate finger and the cancer rates go up again. God's fucking will.

A moment's money for forever poisoning our water.

Conservatives believe they serve God.

Thank you, rural Nova Scotia, for voting in a Conservative SuperMajority.

Next time Premier Aw Shucks comes to town, thank him for the forever groundwater poisoning, because the moratorium on fracking we'd all worked so hard for took that supermajority you gave him to break and gives us cancer and birth defects forever off of it.

Good thing you don't depend on groundwater, huh.

It should be a law that since he signed the fracking deal into being, our NS Premier, his cabinet and all their entire households have to use the same fracking community water in their own homes he expects those communities to.

See how he likes his morning tea catching fire.

@CStamp He says we need it to cover our deficit and for the energy. He says our natural gas comes from the US even if it was sourced in Alberta and we have our own gas right here.

It is such blatant shortsighted stupidity *MOST ESPECIALLY WITH OUR GEOLOGY* it is staggering.

He wasted no time after getting his supermajority nuking the moratorium (and imagine what it took to get everyone on board to put that in - entire communities coming out in protest) but now they want to ring that cashdrawer

@adwright The water table hasn’t recovered from the gold mining. He should be working on solar energy. Lots of research showing panels and farming enhance each other.
@adwright Is he pushing for the uranium mining?

Rural voters across Canada fall for this get-rich-quick bullshit every time. And still believe the lie that Conservatives are good money managers.

@adwright

Rural folk often accuse city dwellers of not knowing where their food comes from, but repeatedly vote for parties that destroy the environment. Folk wisdom, they call it.
