Hi Nick,
Doing the wrong thing, in the wrong place, in the wrong way is =
sufficient reason to can it.=20
As I implied previously it would be laudable to use those funds for =
the care of veterans; such as those ~2200 who are homeless. And for the =
care of vets in general. I hope this mean-spirited policy has changed, =
or will soon change, but one man who lost a leg had to prove by =
repetitive documentation every year that it had not grown back.
It is a dead issue and thank God and better government for that. Lets =
bury it.
To promote tourism NS could build a useful website. The last time I =
tried to find something on it all I could find was clutter. They could =
repair roads at least to USA 1930 standards. NS Gov. might even find a =
ferry before it is 6 months too late to be of use... And in general our =
provincial government could stop assigning top priority to stupid on at =
least some files. =20

Dear All,
This is a bit removed from Natural History but I have problems =
with any
veterans' memorial statue being erected while more than 2000 =
veterans are
homeless in Canada; the triumph of image and hypocrisy over genuine
substance.
