Picton Terminals started blasting away the White Chapel Road escarpment Tuesday morning without a permit.
Who did it, where, and with what? Was it Mr. Green in the conservatory with the dagger? Or Mrs. Peacock with in the library the revolver? Did the butler do it?
The County Foundation’s new report, “A Decade of Vital Signs,” looks back to its first report, issued in 2013. It reflects on change, finds patterns, traces improvements — and forecasts the future.
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.
The MZO for Picton Terminals, and Councillors who oppose but are not willing to debate.
