Terminals blasts Picton Bay escarpment without a permit

Editorial

The MZO for Picton Terminals, and Councillors who oppose but are not willing to debate.

Editorial

Council’s settlement hands oversight of the Terminals and the escarpment it has agreed not to alter without “approvals” to the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of the Environment, and Quinte Conservation. Yet these ministries either have inadequate powers or limited jurisdiction. Each thinks the other should be the one in charge. An effective system — if washing your hands and passing the buck at the same time is the game you want to be playing.

Letters this week: Picton Terminals Settlement, idea of MZO spark outrage

Editorial
July 31, 2024

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.

Council votes to seek a negotiated settlement with Picton Terminals — again.

Editorial

Council's latest about-face defies belief. It already tried to reach a settlement. Just last year. There was, shall we say, a sticking point.

Editorial

The municipality needs another water treatment plant — or two. Either development pays for it, or rate and tax payers will.
