      Whatis
      this
      noise
      we
      are
      hearing
      about
      Tracadie
      Cross
      and
      environmental
      catastrophe?
     
     
      Environmental
      holocaust.
      It’s
      like
      that
      and
      that’s
      the
      way
      itis.

      Is
      this
      nonsense
      to
      you?
      To
      the
      people
      of
      Tracadie
      Cross
      itall
      makes
      frightening
      sense.
     
    

    
     
      That’s
      why
      there
      was
      a
      protest
      at
      Province
      House
      on
      November
      the
      17"
      by
      the
      community
     
     
      of
      Tracadie
      Cross.
     
     
      ;
      At
      the
      demonstration,
      Roger
      Townsend,
      a
      mussel
      fisherman,
      spoke
      first,
      on
      the
     
     
      importance
      of
      the
      aquaculture
      industry
      to
      PEI
      and
      the
      future.
      Aquaculture
      works;
      upwards
      of
     
     
      a
      thousand
      jobs
      are
      currently
      generated
      by
      this
      industry
      on
      PEI.
      Real
      numbers,
      real
      food.
     
     
      Roger’s
      strong
      message:
      keep
      your
      dump
      away
      from
      the
      food
      basket,
      keep
      your
      dump
      out
     
     
      of
      our
      front
      yard.
     
    

    
     
      Buck
      Watts
      spoke
      next
      -
      about
      survival.
      How
      do
      we
      survive
      the
      future?
      How
      can
      we
     
     
      possibly
      survive
      with
      a
      dump
      next
      door?
      Somehow,
      indirectly,
      Buck
      must
      have
      been
      talking
     
     
      about
      everyone:
      the
      mussels,
      the
      lobsters,
      the
      birds,
      ria
     
    

    
     
      Next
      to
      speak
      was
      Keptin
      John
      Joe
      Sark.
      Sark
      ta
      ked
      of
      the
      Treaty
      of
      1763
      and
      how
     
     
      the
      Supreme
      Court
      of
      Canada
      has
      ruled
      that
      aboriginal
      rights
      have
      not
      been
      extinguished.
      Sark
     
     
      then
      spoke:
      “NowI’d
      like
      to
      say
      a
      memorial
      to
      my
      ancestors
      and
      to
      your
      ancestors:

      and
      cry,
     
     
      I
      am
      not
