No tolls yet. The wind farm in Penobsquis plans to expand. A potash in Millstream may finally happen. The province is looking at removing Nutrien's rights to the potash body in Penobsquis and giving it to someone else who is willing to go get it. Still no fracking. The majority of NBer's still don't want fracking. No idea about moose but much of the province is now overrun with deer. I was at a wedding in St. Andrews in the spring and saw a dozen to 18 deer on the lawn next to the church, within yards of people. I don't pay much attention to gas prices as I drive a hybrid. Not many forest fires so far this year, unlike last year which had more than ever.

    It depends on how much you trust or distrust that government or corporation. You might trust or distrust one government more than another or one corporation more than another. I can easily think of some governments and corporations I would trust more or less than other ones. Of course one shouldn't completely trust or distrust any government or corporation. Choose which ones to trust carefully, hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst.

    If you want electoral reform, one of the best things you can do is get involved. Join the federal and provincial parties you think you can make the most progress toward electoral reform by being a member. Push for ER at the meetings.

    A nice side-effect of being involved in political parties is that in addition to getting to vote in the public elections, you also get to vote for your local candidate and the party leader.

    You're being disingenuous saying voters walk away every time. There are over half a dozen different ways of implementing PR. Show me an example for each type of PR where the voters walked away.

    Also, out of the 74 democratic countries in the world, 2/3rds of them use some type of PR voting, so how about you show the reasons why these Canadian voters walked away from PR when 2/3rds of the world's democracies have it and want it.
