LOVE CANAL NORTH

Ralgreen Cres. was built on top of a former dump. Canada Mortgage and Housing built on and beside the Ottawa St. Landfill in Kitchener. The Elmira Aquifer was destroyed by industrial chemicals courtesy of Uniroyal, Varnicolor and others. The Safety-Kleen site in Breslau has had thousands of gallons of oil and P.C.B.s floating on the water table for decades.
Sloppy disposal practices at Canadian General Tower in Cambridge have impacted the Grand River and the Middleton Wellfield. Skipping over Ciba-Geigy and Allen Bradley (Cambridge) and Sunar and Canbar (Waterloo), let's get to Northstar and Rozell (G.E.), located on Bishop St. in Cambridge. Having read multiple technical reports in the Cambridge library I can tell you that the direct human effects, both in numbers of people (and generations) and severity of illness far outweighs any of the above mentioned environmental calamities.

Here are the common denominators: Since Elmira and Uniroyal, the MEDIA are in hiding.
The Ontario Ministry of the Environment
The Ontario Ministry of Health
Woolwich Council
Waterloo Council
Kitchener Council
Cambridge Council
Regional Council
Politics, Power and Money rule the day, and as long as they do, these environmental disasters will continue to unfold and the perpetraters will continue to hold each others hands while pretending shock and surprise at what has happened.
