Imagine the huge outcry if such wholesale annihilation were being perpetrated on land-based wildlife. But because it's happening at sea – almost everywhere, not just Scotland – it goes barely noticed, year in, year out.

“If there’s unintended impacts or ramifications, we always listen to that and if we can be responsive, we try to be responsive. Those are discussions that will have to take place,” Houston said. So, we can assume the gutting of rural NS is intended?

Fun fact: bridge toll removal and 1% HST reduction cost us appx $300 million. All of the devastating cuts in the current budget? $300 million. Is your 1% HST cut worth the loss of tourism, arts & culture, educational quality and wildlife conservation in NS?
