CBC Radio program "Information Morning" played a recorded interview containing the statement:

"We wouldn't want it [the LNG terminal] sited in either a pristine area — large commercial activities don’t belong adjacent to the highest-value recreational amenities like Cape Cod or southern Maine — or adjacent to pristine environments."

— Donald Smith, Quoddy Bay, LLC

When questioned further by the CBC as to what he meant by "pristine," Donald Smith was reported as meaning ...

"not adjacent to a national park or something like that."

We agree! An LNG terminal does not belong near —

• Roosevelt Campobello International Park;
• the area’s most valuable recreational amenities (Passamaquoddy Bay);
• Passamaquoddy Bay’s pristine environment!

And, the proposed LNG-related gas pipeline should not pass through —

Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge!
