Comments for Concerned Citizens of Penobsquis http://www.penobsquis.ca Thu, 19 Jan 2012 02:07:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 Comment on Penobsquis by Thomas Frank http://www.penobsquis.ca/penobsquis/#comment-2434 Thomas Frank Thu, 19 Jan 2012 02:07:22 +0000 http://www.penobsquis.ca/#comment-2434 Having a little understaning of geology, and having relatives in the Penobsquis area, I have to agree this is a 'no brainer'. Some of my relatives work at the mine and say things like "there is no such thing as mining subsidence", or "they just need to shut up because my job is on the line". I find that very discouraging. There is no doubt this mine is making lots of money for PCS shareholders. It's past time for them to pay for the damage they are doing. Unintentional damage they do while they make profits should be compensated from before they take that profit. It's only fair.

It was brought to my attention that I should look more closely at your post. I started it once but didn't bother to finish it. Well, I guess I should have. My farm? An open manure pile sitting on a river bank? I live on less than an acre about 2 km from a river so it would have to be one hellava big pile. Get your facts straight, especially with something as serious as naming me in a law suit. Shame on you. To Penobsquis- an eyesore.

As a outsider ( raised and living on the Eastern Shore of NS, Sheet Harbour to be exact ) I am currently staying in the Timberland while up here for a few months doing exploration work for gold, I was made aware of the devistating situation local resisdences have been having with the Potash mining industry. Sometimes we dont apprechiate what we have untill we loose it! It is unfortunate that those elected to insure our best intrest and well being can be bought out by big industry all in the name of GREED! They come, throw some money at us, use the land and its resources, and then leave us and our children with the bill. 1 Timothy 6:10 KJV "For the love of money is the root of all evil: Which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. " It is truly amazing... what man will do for money! Psalm 24:1 " The earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein." Lets try to remember that we are but STEWARDS of what he has created. Very sorry to hear the horror stories that have taken place in this area. As a outsider

You need to get on board with something similar to bring your cause to the public's eye. Relying on current Mainstream Media to do it for you is a lost cause.

I can only imagine the hardships that you have suffered. To be forsaken by your own government is a warning to us all. Industry rules unless we, the people, stand together and tell our government that they are elected by us to serve us. They can prove this by seeing that the affected people of Penobsquis are treated fairly. I will be there on October 12 to lend my support in whatever way I can. My heart goes out to all of you.
