Old, tired, they/them, mostly European-Canadian, spending my time playing video games, reading, and drawing/painting when my brain lets me. Particularly like spooky and mysterious things. Trying to re-learn how to be social in appropriate ways.
Very valid, thank you for the advice!

I already have so much stuff to paint on or draw on (that I have not painted on in years either)

Any creator will tell you that it's the process, the *work* of creating something, that determines its final form. Your "idea" might be for one thing, but in the *making* of it, you get a thousand new ideas that change it into something else.

Not to bury the lead, but it worked, for now. Last Thursday the premier announced that the project would not go ahead. Notably however, he chose his words carefully. It’s not a no. It’s just a no for now. And he spoke like it was no big deal, a proposal that barely existed www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

But we put ourselves into it. This is an issue that has been painful for the community every time it has come up. Division. Rumours. Old wounds. We made every step we took a conscious effort to protect a place we loved, and a community we loved. That was all a risk we had to take on. It was hard.

It is deeply unfair that small communities have to bear this every time someone with $$ in their eyes comes along. Regular people fighting for something they love vs the force of government will, the money of developers, PR machines and platforms. “Protected” should mean something.

I got involved because a 3rd time is too much- no means no. Defending public land from private developers has fallen largely on a few dedicated community members. Myself and others wanted to share the burden. Last time, we watched those people get villainized, and would not stand for that this time.
