Halifax Water is creating a district energy system for the Cogswell land, and it’s complicated

by Tim Bousquet October 26, 2022November 7, 2022

I don’t know the analogy. Nero fiddling doesn’t really do it because that was just one man; here we have an entire society that sees the horsemen galloping our way, and seemingly no one gives a shit. Sure, the pursuit of golf is just a symbol of the disregard, but so was the fiddle.

The cover of the report, Papering Over Corporate Control, Paper Excellence relationship with Asian Pulp & Paper and the Sinar Mas Group, showing a Paper Excellence-owned Domtar pulp mill against a dark blue sky and behind a body of still water.

Report: Paper Excellence, the owner of Northern Pulp, is part of the corporate group of Asia Pulp & Paper and Sinar Mas. This matters to Nova Scotians.

Apartment buildings under construction on Clyde Street in Halifax in June 2021. The new construction dwarfs an older building, which is itself only a couple of decades old. In the foreground you can see a bright blue cherry picker crane, and a yello tube through which trash drops into a dumpster. In front of the nearest building is a chain link fence, covered with multi coloured banners extolling the virtues of the construction company, the investors, and the future luxury accomodations. The banners are already worn and filthy.
