Hint #2:

💘 A #Halifax park, once a country estate used by royalty,
now hides its secrets with quiet loyalty.
Past a lovers’ pond and winding trails,
Where whispers linger and footsteps pale.

It was clear after the Owl's Head fiasco, which ended with a challenge to "settle this matter at the ballot box". Voters then settled it, but legislators still haven't. That Tim Houston even entertained this, after being elected in the wake of this same scenario, is an affront to democracy.

It's unreasonable to entertain the undemocratic sale of any Provincial Park. They need legal protection so this can end once and for all. The parks are ours and have been designated as such. This Provincial Park designation has no meaning if it lacks legal protection.

Some are owned by the same cronies, but they at least have to answer to, & represent their constituents. I saw the studies. To make decisions that fly in the face of that evidence, they'd suffer backlash from their constituents & likely be out of a job next election for not representing them.

They didn't. I suspect that's why he is subverting democracy, because these "decisions" wouldn't survive the scrutiny of democratic processes.

Of all the choices the self-appointed, democracy-subverting housing dictator could have made using all the studies and mathematical figures laid out, dictator Houston chose the absolute worst possible places. This then points to obvious cronyism involving developers with a long history of it.

No one should accept the legitimacy of a self-appointed housing dictator usurping an entire level of democratic governance. It constitutes a serious violation of the social contract.

Make sure you visit the small auxiliary room upstairs, not just the Clayton Developments showroom downstairs. I learned way more from Walter Regan of @sackvillerivers.bsky.social & Karen McKendry of @ecologyaction.bsky.social.
