I hope the city councillor for Peninsula North can loosen her ah helmet long enough to ah realize that not all of the ah voters who elected her, don’t “only” consist of ah notably vocal group of ah persistent whiners. A great number of us are in fact dog owners. We pay taxes in this city, and we deserve better than your advocating for only the crybabies, who never seem happy regardless of what they’re given at whatever cost to the taxpayer.
They didn’t like when they were moved out of the area many years ago in the name of progress, but they sure don’t mind doing the same thing to the dogs.
My understanding is our city council granted the land to this malcontent group, a few years back thus selling out every taxpayer who owns a dog. They don’t like dogs being in “their” park, “saying what other park/national historic site, can dogs go without leash?” To which I would reply, what other park/national historic site can you turn into a campground for a weekend?
I believe our elected friends have and are in the process of further selling us out. At the very least our “competent council” had better make an viable alternative for the dog owners, before they ban them from the park. We, as taxpayers (if nothing else) need to seriously consider this lack of representation for the next election. -Ruff Rough

Own a cat? Chickens?
No, seriously, she’s a twat. Useless (to gay men).
I love how you compared people to animals there, particularly in this instance, it’s just so wonderfully classy of you.
No, really – dogs don’t belong on “sacred ground” , according to the homeless guy that’s been camping there for the last 20 years
I listened to the rant on the Rick Howe (the fuck have I still got a job) show t’other day, this doggy lady raised a valid point, why does the city (taxpayers) have to send crews down after the annual Africville soireee and clean up all the mess? She promises to send Rick pics after the next giddyup.
being relatively new to the area, can someone tell me what that park was like pre-dogs?
From what I gather, the place looks like a tornado went through a trailer park after their ‘celebration’. At least the city has the option to fine people who don’t pick up after their dogs. What a fucking joke.
I’m sure that the good burghers of Africaville would be only too happy to clean up after their hoe-down, but when trash picking time rolls around and someone asks “Who’s holding the bags?” everyone either books or refuses to co-operate with the authorities.
You would think that a better target for desecrating “sacred ground” would be the male prostitutes. Apparently, leaving thier used condoms lying around isn’t quite as offencive as a bunch of dogs running around and enjoying a beautiful day.
Fuck you, AGS and Irvine Carvery!!!! The only way to get the media coverage you need is to pick on someone who will fight in the media, then you get your chance to call everyone racists. Take your fucking park!!! HRM will be forced to build a different one, then you can have your land for the “blacks only” nursing home. We all know this is just bullshit, you’re not fooling anyone.
Careful , HarperD. According to the logic of another Bitch, telling African-American-Nova Scotians to “cut the crap” is exactly like Sheriff Bull Connor saying “Get the fire hoses”
I think the park is gonna go. and nothing will replace it for off-leash. that sucks.
and the park will once again be a hangout for 2 legged trash doing drugs etc and will get disgusting, because “those” users won’t be keeping it neat and tidy the way the current users do. it won’t become a black memorial. it will become a junkie mess.
Looks like the city caved. Now Africaville Park can return to it’s revered status as campground/dead wangsta dump site.
