HEAD INJURY RECEIVED AFTER FALL FROM BED ?

How else does one explain the inexplicable? Yesterday afternoon Council for the Region of Waterloo unanimously, without public discussion or debate, approved the referral of OPA #15 (Official Plan Amendment) to the OMB (Ontario Municipal Board). OPA #15 was passed by Woolwich Council last spring for the purpose of allowing Safety-Kleen in Breslau to purchase and build on six hectares of land between their property and the Grand River. Incidentally they were going to do a partial cleanup of their multi decades old, on and off site, ground and surface water pollution. Pollution which includes P.C.B.s in the natural environment. Further details were published here (Advocate) on August 10/10.

It is not possible to have such a grossly contaminated site, which is public knowledge, without a cleanup, over such a time period without the able assistance of multiple levels of government. Such is the case here with kudos going to the Region of Waterloo, Woolwich Township and the Province of Ontario (M.O.E.). These three levels of government have been in bed with Safety-Kleen for decades and I must assume that one or more of these partners has fallen out of bed; hence the above title.
