I know that this forum is more or less for "Projects and developements for Saint John" but it kind of bugs me that a councillor from another city is making statements that has nothing to do with his city. I feel his belief is fine, but making those comments out loud for the public to hear is wrong when it has nothing do to with his city. Any comments ??
Here is the link for anybody who wishes to read it.

In fact, its concern is fine but he should stay away from this debate. New Irving project could be huge economic engine for SJ and whole New-Brundwick while in the other hand its could be a environnemental disaster. How would you want attracting people in town after that? The city will likely become the third industrial concentation out Alberta. Saint John has to deal with this situation but i wonder how it will do that.
I am really again tax break deliver by the city to Irving. A small village near Rivière-du-Loup (QC) will get a LNG terminal. The city will receive 5.5 millions per years in tax. They will get many other fiscal advantages from LNG-Canada.
SJ will receive 500,000$.
