“It was shocking to hear these stories. The other thing was just how much they connected to each other that there was clearly a pattern of disruption that was also being minimized & downplayed.” @TimHoustonNS Stop the noise. It’s making us sick! saltwire.com/cape-breton/new…

fed & prov gov are trying to keep seniors aging well in their homes but the #DonkinMine noise pollution & unsafe trucking of coal are working against that goal. @TimHoustonNS @mikekelloway
Solidarity with these folks blocking the #DonkinMine
exporting coal from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
Shame on NS Gov for continuing to permit and re-permit a new coal mine in 2023, with dozens of labour infractions, in the middle of climate crisis. #nspoli
Truly a bad look.
