    Re: “Poop problems
    The pollution of 10 lakes in SW Nova Scotia is absolutely criminal.
    The fact that the govt thinks the $$$ from the industry equals millions of dollars of damage to the environment is laughable. The govt forgave the interest on the minkers loans last year because the fur farmers could not afford to pay it. The price of mink has declined from $120 for the best pelt in 2012 to $47 in Jan 2014. How will they pay their loans now..what is the excuse for allowing this devastation of our water now.
    Why are people fighting for their right to clean water called activists....it is our right!!
    Why aren't the minkers call terrorists for destroying it.
    We cannot drink, swim, or breathe the vapours from the lake water. No amount of boiling will fix it. Some residents have lived on these properties all their lives and find now, they are worthless.
