Claudia Chender, leader of the opposition, met local residents in Mabou to hear their concerns about Cabot’s desire to build a golf course in the West Mabou Beach provincial Park on Monday afternoon.
MLA Kyle MacQuarrie showed up to greet her as they are old friends, but he didn’t stay as he didn’t want to distract from the event.
Chender began with her own concerns. The previous government said “no” because it would be an embarrassing proposition to open a provincial park to public development. “With the Tim Houston supermajority,” Chender said, “they feel like they have been given carte blanche to do whatever they want. And with only eight days in the legislature this sitting, the government is able to evade questions.”
