For anyone who believes in democracy, it isn’t about who you vote for, it’s about casting your vote.
It was a fine day for the 100th anniversary of Fosterholm Farms. It could not have been finer if Mr. Clifford himself had ordered up the weather.
Certainly, anyone who cares about sustaining local farmers, or the County’s primarily agricultural economy, or just about plain farmland, never mind the history of this place and its revered farming families, would have felt pulled in at least a couple of directions at the news that P & H was partnering with Picton Terminals to build a grain shipping port on Picton Bay.
It seems obvious. Of course we should shop local. But is it really that simple? Is paying an extra few quarters for an ear of corn really going to float the local economy?
There is only one way to say it. Forcing an international container shipping port and industrial zone on a small, scenic harbour at the centre of a County trying mightily to establish itself as a world-class destination of outstanding natural and cultural beauty is just plain wrong.
When it comes to Prince Edward County traditions and heritage, the Picton Fall Fair takes first place. Every time.
Without a real, thriving public sphere, there is no place to debate the issues of the day.
