A landowners’ group came out swinging Tuesday against Alberta’s transportation minister over his claims the provincial government has already entered negotiations to acquire properties west of Calgary to make way for a 2,400-hectare dry reservoir in Springbank.
"In March, the NDP announced it had secured access agreements from all affected landowners that now allows officials to conduct environmental impact assessments — a year-long study examining air quality, noise, vegetation and wetlands, historical resources, traditional knowledge and traditional land use."
ReplyDeleteAnd that was their first mistake. I can tell the landowners how it's going to work. Take it as a given that the government has already entered signed purchase/expropriation agreements with a few landowners. This will be used as a "too late to back-track now" lever. The next step will be a take it or leave it offer to the remaining landowners. As it is in Ontario, so shall it be in Alberta.
Why would anyone expect the NDP to follow common-law due process, enter direct negotiations with landowners and pay fair compensation? Under the doctrine of socialism, the majority may take what it likes from whomever it pleases.
ReplyDeleteAnd a lot of that can be attributed to the fact that the parasites know tat very few of the victims will put up a fight.
