SO WHAT GIVES WITH TAG?

TAG - TECHNICAL ADVISORY GROUP .................................................................................................................. Weeks (months?) later and they are the only stakeholders who allegedly have not received a copy of the July 23, 2021 Dioxin Lab Report from experts in the field, namely Pacific Rim Labs. WTH - (more polite than WTF). Anyhow do they (as in individual members not just the Chair) not understand how bad that makes them look? Seriously folks this whole cleanup and public consultation are based upon appearances and so you'd better get with the program. Literally everybody else but you are now in possession of that expert Lab Report which determined the presence of dioxins on the Stroh property above and beyond the already overwhelming evidence including soils, sediments and deep, upgradient groundwater results with NDMA in it. Dioxins, DDT, NDMA, and so much more as in the whole litany of toxic chemicals released into the natural environment by Uniroyal Chemical from 1942 until at least 1970 are of course downgradient on the Stroh farm (& Martin farm) either by surface flow or groundwater flow. Have you ever wondered exactly how toxic chemicals get into our food? Well this is how as in government negligence and corruption not just permitting pollution but also in assisting to hide it. ......................................................................................................................................... Now of course there are overlaps in TAG membership and attendance with groups to whom I have sent the Pacific Rim Dioxin results. There is Sandy Shantz who co-chairs RAC (Remediation Advisory Committee) and who watches/supervises? TAG meetings to ensure citizens stay on the straight and narrow and don't continue (like Sebastian) to ask intelligent and informed questions where thay are not appreciated by Lanxess/MECP/MOE i.e. Stroh (SDDB). Also TAG Chair Tiffany Svensson attends RAC meetings and likely has been offerred the Pacific Rim dioxin results from others beside myself. Oh yes and I have sent those results to Woolwich Council of which Sandy is the mayor. Oddly literally nobody other than Ramin Ansari (Lanxess) appear to have the slightest interest in those results. Almost like they've been told to back off. Nevertheless for an alleged citizens committee to refuse in writing to receive those lab results really is shocking. To date I have ignored frankly quite corrupt requests not to send the Pacific Rim Lab results to the alleged stakeholders (excepting Lanxess who did request them). TAG have benn given an incredible amount of time and leeway. Are they so confident that I will send the lab results to them unbidden that some how to save face they are refusing to change their minds and ask for them? Who knows? Without real, legitimate, face to face, two way discussion and conversation, as public consultation is supposed to be, we may never find out. And they clearly look either afraid or corrupt. Not a good look for an alleged public consultation body.
