STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOS
In 2016 I co-produced a video documentary called Islanders and the Land. When I interviewed people for the video I was struck by the deep sense expressed of how precious land is and how it should stay in the hands of communities not corporations. I was also impressed by how people of the Island have come together historically at various times to protect the land.
It appears that this is yet another time to protect the land and communities of the Island. This resistance of Islanders is a beacon of hope for other parts of Canada to resist the corporatization of land along with exposing the compliance of government. Thank you People of the Island.
