Its true of everything in Nova Scotia though! Our rates aren't helped by groups like the HT getting something for their own ends.
Also... I don't agree with the mills period. Its a sunset industry! Lets give that bailout money to tech startups!
Doesn't surprise me funding hit a snag, although the given HT's experience and amount of free time, I thought they may be clever enough to rig the system as they have in the past.
I guess its easier to argue against things from happening and obstruct policy as opposed to actually doing anything / creating positive change.
