Dear Uncle Gnarley,
I read your piece Rural NL Needs to Save Itself.
You are right about the unsustainability of the many services
offered to a very few, seemingly in “rural” NL.
I think you’re on to something.
But I think you got lost
on your way there. You read two of the
signs wrong.
The first wrong turn was on the corner called “Municipal
Leadership”.
You are wrong that no Municipal Leaders have ever spoken up
about this problem and you are wrong that no municipal leaders have tried to
fix it. Fogo Island being one glaring
example. There are others.
Now, you’re a pretty good guy Uncle; I’ve been reading your
blog for a long time. You are doing your best to bring some important issues to
the attention of the general public (ever feel like you are talking to the wall
with all the work you are doing to expose Muskrat Falls?) Yes? Then you know
exactly how some of the municipal leaders in “rural” NL feel.
