Dear Editor,
The Kirtland's warbler and ice age grass are on the 9th concession, Tiny Township's proposed administrative centre property.
Just because they're species at risk, Tiny Council know what they're doing. Plants and animals don't go extinct!
O.K., maybe the frosted elfin, blue walleye, passenger pigeon, karner blue, black-footed ferret, gravel chub, timber rattlesnake, tiger salamander and incurved grizzled moss and a few others have gone extinct.
But this is a 'green' building that they are bulldozing for. Maybe some yellowish bird and some nondescript weed grass, will go from endangered, species-at-risk, to extinct, whatever.
They have to build this, glorious pavilion, here, not on the five-acre, gravel lot behind the current town hall. Wait! What?
