Today's announcement that the Halifax International Airport Authority (HIAA) has signed a lease with Gateway Facilities Inc. to build a 40,000 square foot multi-tenant cargo facility at the airport is great news. In addition to the jobs created to build the facility, the extra cargo capacity will enhance the airport's abilty to service that sector and will create more jobs to handle the additional frieght in the future. The economic spin-offs will have a positive impact throughtout that end of the riding.
I learned today that it will be 2009 before the Province of Nova Scotia replaces the aboiteau on the Amherst Marsh that failed just one year after being built. The province spent weeks this summer doing an engineering assessment on the failed dyke and now that winter is approaching, it will be next year before they can replace it. It is a disappointment, but we are fortunate that the old one behind it that was built in 1957 has survived and is still keeping the water out.
On CBC Nova Scotia's website I notice an article that stated three of the four MLA/cabinet ministers in the riding are supporting my bid for re-election as an Independent. I want to thank them for their support. I know this puts them in a difficult position, so I am really grateful to Murray Scott, Karen Casey and Jamie Muir.
The AGM in North Colchester was last night and there was a great turnout.

“We got a great location and I feel really at home there standing in the showroom,” he said, alluding to his 20 years in the car business. “It’s actually the best headquarters we’ve ever had.”
The Liberals will be happy to send you back to the used car showroom Bill.
