'Unimaginable excess': Bid to attract showy superyachts to Cape Breton under scrutiny

incidentally, I started a bid to attract orcas to cape breton

Smith says attracting superyachts is a small part of a broader strategy aimed at getting more boaters to come to the region. And he challenged the argument that superyacht owners represent the worst kind of polluters.

I think we’re going to see a transformation in them in terms of cleaner fuels and cleaner ways of operating.”
