RE:RE:RE:Stop TradingSawtooth, you mentioned back on March 31st about the Haida youth. That's what it's all about. Some will continue the traditions of their elders in culture, language and occupation. Meanwhile the world around them is constantly changing. Some adaptation is inevitable. I'm not going to look through rose coloured glasses, but in the past there was opposition to the windfarm for various reasons. A petition was circulated and then the vote was held. Things have changed since and maybe some concerns were laid to rest. Concerns revolved around financing, livelihoods , the birds, and the windfarm being in Hecate Strait. If it goes to vote again, the CHN will explain why it will be different this time. Maybe Northland representatives, together with the CHN can have a public meeting to answer questions. A good cost/benefit analysis should not always focus on money. Jobs are needed for the youth, the diesel issue, value added industries, management of own resources, meaningful decision-making by citizens and words like "sustainability/sovereignty": are spoken in regards to food, electricity and land issues. Can a case be made for a windfarm today, when dealing with some of the above issues? Back in 2009, there was a multi-year survey done. Subtidal/intertidal biophysical surveys of landfall sites at Tlell and Ridley Island. Subtidal surveys of the wind turbine area on Dogfish Banks. Crab fisheries raised concerns about potential interactions with fisheries and possible impacts to the resource itself. All these concerns were addressed and a baseline, on which to compare future samplings was identified. From this, an commitment to an ongoing environmental management programs was made. Development of a habitat compensation plan was discussed. Northland will have to look at all the past work. But going back 12 years and even today, there were and will be a lot of close to the heart issues mixed in. The Supreme Court ruling in 2004- TFL 39 (consultation procedures), title and right over Haida Gwaii, water, air. Compensation for losses, honour of the Crown, etc. All this will take time to settle as the Supreme Court says. How far does the lens have to open to view the windfarm? Can it be accommodated if certain conditions are met? Northland was familiar the above history when they agreed to take on this project. The lens must not only be opened properly but pointed in the right direction. Only through dialogue and understanding will this project move ahead.
