[Jean Pierre Charce a reader of this book, I sent an open letter about Dufresne Regional Park, a record that is regularly headlines. Blog-Notes offers its platform to all citizens wishing to speak freely. Only requirement: the texts of the authors must be signed.]
I remember ...
We're talking about a lot of new Dufresne Park these days, its turf wars and its "non- -called "lack of transparency surrounding certain acts and real challenges that lie ahead. I remember a time not so long ago - Guindonville had become dust and rubble - some discussion with a few ardent supporters of the project that kept me this language: "You see sir, in life you sometimes have to sacrifice for the welfare of his community and his descendants." I remained skeptical
, remaining convinced that the environmental cause would inevitably pass through the respect for residents of places, but still gave them the benefit of the doubt. However, by observing what is happening today in our "world apart", I remember the bravery of a certain lady (who no doubt will recognize), a visionary, so to speak. She had dared to oppose and denounce publicly some wrongdoing surrounding the proposed parking and the Park: This commitment has cost him dear, for truth is not good to say, it seems. I remember one elderly couple faced recently, the native village, moreover, who turned back when asked to pay for a walk in what he believed to be their park. Another person cross by chance, who was walking his bike nonchalantly hand, was forced to leave because his bike was supposedly not in the standards, and others who are refused permission to climb, probably because they did not belong to the right school. And these are just a few examples among many others. I ask myself the question: does it have the full panoply of the perfect hiker and have a portfolio that topped more for access to our park?
It seems to me that we pay taxes as residents should be ample to meet these costs. I think when the famous philosophical tale by Antoine de Saint-Exupery: The Little Prince, among the many characters encountered during his journey Galactic, has met a businessman. It spent most of his time accounted the stars that never ceased to accumulate unabated. Intrigued by this strange behavior, the Little Prince said they did not belong to anyone yet, all these stars. Precisely, "retorted the businessman, they are in person, so they are mine. But what do you do with these thousands of stars? asked the boy again. I own them, that's all. And if he could think of The Little Prince to visit the planet "Dufresne Park," would it not be surprised to see how the ecological ideals of the early days gave way to motivations apparently more mercantile than philanthropists?
