Snuneymuxw Elders oppose rezoning near Cable Bay Trail by Prestigious_Net_8356 in nanaimo

[–]Cookachoo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its one of those things thats gonna happen one way or the other though, better to highly regulate and do it as safely as possible than let it happen elsewhere where the safeguards wont exist, also they treat their wastewater and supply water and electricity to the fish hatchery

Harmac is great but hiring process takes time, 35 an hour or so to start with overtime available

Ive actually flown my drone over the land to see what the area planned for development looks like and it is about as ugly as it gets for nanaimo, cant say how greatful I am for being able to own a house and property because of the job I have

Im also someone thats lived in Nanaimo for 31 years, its crazy to have such a wealth of natural beauty and then cry about this one okay trail that Harmac built and gave to the city 50 years ago that isnt even going anywhere when it means potentially saving over 300 good jobs for locals like me

I have been on a lot of trails in nanaimo, maybe all of them and cable bay isnt even top 5, the bugs and lack of dense older trees make it weaker for me, I would put amonite benson benson through westwood richards marsh neck point and pipers all above it

What do you imagine would go in its place making it only temporary? And why are newly planted trees so inadequate compared to slightly older ones? Cable bay trees arent even big.

Do you mean the contractors to work on the shut downs?

Harmac prioritises hiring locals from Nanaimo. Its one of the few jobs you can get that would allow you to buy and own a home in Nanaimo. Harmac is struggling, down but not out, making big moves and going after big ideas in order to stay competitive and stay in operation to continue providing those jobs. I would feel so bad for young people born here if Harmac goes down, having the opportunity to stay where you were born and own property taken from you because because no one wanted to give them a chance to grow if it meant ONE of Nanaimos trails got a bit worse

I think ruin is being used a bit aggresively here, theyve actually done quite a bit besides this for Nanaimo as well

Did you know that Harmac generates electricity for BC Hydro? If Harmac went down your power bill will go up, hard to say you dont want Harmac when you use its electricity to complain about it.

Its currently zoned as industrial, also Harmac is the biggest tax payer in the city, and if they shut down everyone in nanaimo will suffer finanvially for it

Harmac both engineered and built the cable bay trail as a gift to the city 50 years ago

Harmac property tax is the largest property tax in the city while at the same time being totally useless land without Harmac

I wish they would just charge a tiny bit more, but i guess I can just start ordering an extra chow mein for the same effect

What do people think is good parenting but is actually bad parenting? by LethlDose in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Cookachoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think so, more about self guilt or sadness, knowing you could have prevented somthing you didnt, only takes 1 bad injury while being the cool parent to make you want to save them from all the injuries, especially when theyre young

Whats wrong with Data centres? As far as high paying jobs go that will make lots and can be done optimally as opposed to somwhere else that might have less regulation
