The most important thing is that many of them are scared about reprisal by Irving oil. Saint John still seem to be a little "Banana republic". Deal or no deal... no other position.. It is a shame for the democracy

I would want your comments on that
I am quite amazed how Saint John bows down to Irving the way they do. For one thing building an LNG facilty that close to a city is just crazy and then to get hardly anything on taxes for having it there is just insane....then to top it all off they want to build a high pressured pipe line right through the city is just crazy. Is Saint John that desperate for business I mean really. At least in NS the two planned LNG's are in less popultated areas with fair taxes to the communities.
