Cutting down a handful of trees and trimming some branches and it's like the sky is falling down. Hyperboles like "clear cutting is overkill", "This is their heritage", "We get the sense this is an economic stand (by Hydro One)", doesn't help their case. No clear cutting involved. Trees in a hydro corridor does not qualify as heritage. How the hell can you spin this as an "economic stand", unless preventing a tree from falling on a major hydro corridor is somehow a profit driven decision.
It's not like we're razing Mer Bleue, just some selective trimming for safety reasons. If these people are so concerned about the ecosystem, maybe they should be at City Hall fighting new suburban development.
