Like I said. It's not justified. I just feel the demonstrators are overreacting. The people where I live (Ontario) care very much but our collective priority is again "growth" in infrastructure, business and economy at the cost of our rich natural landscape. Whether you hold one more precious over the other is entirely up to your own views. I would very much prefer to have no construction or conversion of green space but I recognize that for our communities to grow and to establish jobs and infrastructure we have to make those decisions.

Read my above post for further explanation of my view if you care.
