Peaceful<\/em>\u00a0protest is a right that was exercised by some (not all!) of the demonstrators at Acadia University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia on Wednesday afternoon, July 15 \u2014 the location where Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston was speaking to the Annapolis Valley Chamber of Commerce about his government\u2019s economic plans.<\/p>

Complaints ranged from local library closures to Mi\u2019kmaq treaty rights and marijuana sales to environmental concerns around potential fracking and (uranium) mining.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Nova Scotia is a \u201chave not,\u201d or poor province, which means the provincial government is hard pressed to adequately fund many of the programs and services we like to receive.\u00a0\u00a0The province also has an overburdened health care system, in part attributed to staffing numbers insufficient to meet public demand.<\/p>\n

A solution, easier said than done, is to become a \u201chave\u201d province.\u00a0\u00a0While imperfections may persist under this scenario, things should nevertheless improve.\u00a0\u00a0The provincial government will have more money to keep things up and running thanks to more people being lucratively employed, more business investment, a broader tax base, and less strain on the social welfare system.\u00a0\u00a0Public libraries and the health care system are but two of the services that should benefit.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the Houston government is certainly saying all the right things when it comes to economically beneficial resource development, a possible solution to increase living standards.\u00a0\u00a0We can only hope they follow through.<\/p>\n

An potential option to boost the economy is hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which is happening in Saskatchewan, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and elsewhere.\u00a0\u00a0The Houston government appears to be giving it serious consideration, and it might be an idea whose time has come for Nova Scotia, a province rich in natural gas reserves.\u00a0\u00a0For too long, governments of all stripes have caved to the environmental lobby by keeping this resource in the ground, thereby helping to condemn Nova Scotia to perpetual dependence on federal transfer monies and \u201chave not\u201d status.\u00a0<\/p>

Read more Forget global warming. How do we fix the droughts?<\/a><\/p>\n

Natural gas from fracking is cleaner and will give us cheaper energy because it won\u2019t have the transportation costs associated with imported foreign oil or natural gas.\u00a0\u00a0Much of it can also be exported to Great Britain and Europe, where there are markets.\u00a0\u00a0This industry should provide lucrative employment for many and, for good measure, gift the broader economy with its economic spinoff.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, a free and civilized society grants all of us the right to peacefully protest and to peacefully and publicly disagree.\u00a0\u00a0Unfortunately, some of the protesters in Wolfville went well above and beyond.\u00a0\u00a0A protester had no right to climb on top of the premier\u2019s SUV as he and his entourage attempted to drive away at the conclusion of the meeting.\u00a0\u00a0Nor did the protesters have the right to block the vehicle and smash the windshield.\u00a0\u00a0Thankfully, police intervened, the premier was escorted away in a police vehicle, and nobody was physically harmed.<\/p>\n

These protesters are violent thugs who are a danger to society.\u00a0\u00a0If Canada\u2019s so-called justice system can tyrannize Tamara Lich, Chris Barber, and other members of the Freedom Convoy for\u00a0peacefully<\/em>\u00a0protesting, they can certainly throw\u00a0violent<\/em>\u00a0protesters in jail.\u00a0\u00a0Let them cool their heels in jail cells for a bit.<\/p>\n

In summing up, Nova Scotians and Canadians more broadly must do some serious thinking.\u00a0\u00a0Do we wish to remain a civilized and free society, or do we want the civilizational collapse that is all but guaranteed if we grant \u201checklers\u2019 vetoes\u201d to violent radicals?<\/p>
