Some people still do not believe that back in 1997 promised the public that the Otter Lake landfill would only operate for 25 years (until 2024). But of the day did believe that Otter Lake would close within 25 years.
Here is a snip from a newspaper of the past: The Daily News (Halifax) – March 28, 1998; ” said the bill for the facility is steep considering it will close within 25 years. He would like assurances that some of the equipment could be moved to the next landfill.” I recovered this from archival material available from the Halifax Public Library on Spring Garden Road.
Honesty in how an deals with its public is extremely important. If only dollar values rule the day, then no legal agreement made by the with the public can be taken as reliable. This is not democracy, this is in essence a form of despotism. —A concerned HRM Resident

Take a big huff of chemtrail; it will mask the pungent aroma of municipal politics. Circumstances change, budgets fluctuate and government (at any level) can’t even scratch it’s collective ass without some aggrieved citizen’s coalition whining about it. You sound for all the world like an 11 year old teling his parents. “But you promised to take me to Disneyland. You lied!”
It’s only despotism when it’s in your back yard. Right?
Despotism please!
I don’t even know what the hell despotism is….
a) Read the fine print, and b) yes, the dollar does rule
did someone sneak into this bitch and cleverly remove every fifth word to make it cryptic?
People get the government they deserve. The incompetent, arrogant, and shiftless government we have is perfect for us. It is a reflection of who we are, sad to say. The government really is the people.
Nukka, I think it has to do with being trapped in some kind of hardware store.
AN HONEST AN

There can be no question. It is extremely important how an an deals with the public. Some ans are better than others in dealing with the public while other ans are not. It depends on the an.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
P.S. New avatar alert!
No, OP…it is nothing like despotism. And if you were going to try and make a case for the decay of democracy in Canada the otter lake landfill is the last place you should have started.
