In opposition to the Never Forgotten National Memorial Foundation's monument

Parks Canada is there to protect our natural heritage. This monstrosity will destroy and deface pristine natural beauty of a site that has geological significance.

I oppose this project

This ugly monstrosity would be a blight wherever it landed. It is an insult to all Canadians in a national park.

Nothing is appropriate about this catastrophic nightmare. No one in his right mind would support it. This cannot be built!

Good idea but not at Green Cove.

This monument does not belong in a national park, especially in such a geologically significant area. The money would be better spent supporting living veterans in need.

Wonderful idea, awful and tasteless execution.

I'm certainly no expert on coal exports, I only know enough to say that I think it's appropriate we have a policy on it, and I like the way its worded right now. I will also say that there are basically two types of coal and our policy should handle them differently, although how so is beyond me. - We burn lower-quality coal for generating power here in Alberta, and we also export some modest amount of the same grade of coal. That is the one that should be hit harder. - We also export high-quality metallurgical coal, which is used for making steel; something to do with a chemical reaction with iron when they're heated together. A month ago I read an article about a mine in BC that mentioned "Anthracite"; I sent the link and this question off to my renewable energy group: "Anthracite is metallurgical coal, isn't it?" And I got this answer back from Luc Savoie, who is a geologist and actually worked at that BC mine for 5 years. "Historically, anthracite was mainly used for home heating because of its very high carbon content and very low impurities. It burns very hot and clean with little smoke or emissions. With the advent of pulverized coal injection, this highest quality of coal is also now used in the steel making process. Demand for anthracite has increased from the use in steel making since about 2000, but the world wide supply is limited." The Coal Association of Canada says this: "In 2013, Alberta produced just under 29 million tonnes of coal. The vast majority was thermal coal used for local power generation, the remainder exported to Asia, mainly Japan and South Korea." If we need more detail in the policy, I'd be willing to sit down with Carl a

The wrong site for a good idea. Lots of other sites in cape breton that would work.

although many claim the environment will be only minimally affected, I feel the visual environment will be sorely effected by this ugly monstrosity.

Just say no!!!!

Protect our Cabot Trail and the Cape Breton Highlands National Park against this type of unnecessary commercialization.

Don't let this happen!

I've been to the park and seeing a large statue would feel very disruptive and out of place in that area.

This hideous stereotyped icon is an insult both to our national parks and to soldiers who sacrificed their lives.

no thank you. Waste of money...eye sore

This is nonsense-the park is a place that should have no development-appreciation of nature is its purpose.

Put this monument in or near a city where many can easily remember "Mother Canada", but not in a park that Canada has spent years protecting.
