Just a note to all reading these posts.
The Erie Canal Neighbors Association (ECNA) does not close it's Discussion Forum to anyone, unlike the STCC Facebook group that is trying to stop the safety work going on along the canal here in our area. We allow anyone to join in, and our Guests can even post comments here on the ECNA Forum. We have dedicated an entire board here to the discussion of supporting or stopping the embankment clearing efforts, and fighting misinformation being spread by these Facebook folks.
We also know that the Stop the Canal Clear-cut group's leaders & members regularly check here for updates & information on the Canal Embankment work, and what we have to say about their groups' antics. We have been rather harsh on them, and their leaders, for a reason.. they are a danger to all canal neighbors living below these unsafe embankments.
Can anyone tell us why not one member of the Stop the Canal Clearing group has tried to defend their actions on this Forum?
Not one person from that Facebook group has challenged anything we've stated about their group & it's miss-guided efforts.
It should show all of us that when confronted with REAL facts and the HONEST truth about the condition of the Erie Canal, this Fakebook group has no argument that they can defend to keep trees, and they seem unable to refute the facts & truth about Embankment Dam Safety by the NY Canal Corporation or the experts on proper dam maintenance.
Not one post will be found on this Forum Board to defend the actions or words of this Facebook group, or it's fractured leadership, though it claims to have 600+ members that have joined it so far. That is truly amazing, especially for a group that has so much to say on their own Fakebook pages
