The Woolwich Observer wrote a very blunt Editorial with the title being "CPAC shuffle all for naught until MOE takes action". The Observer also used words and phrases like "re-arrange the deck chairs" and a "...bitter taste of appeasement". The Observer also noted that the new RAC and TAG meetings "...should run more smoothly, with a good chance of more leisurely noshing and coffee drinking among like minded folks." These comments are all pointing clearly to Mayor Sandy Shantz's decision to remove CPAC. The Observer also noted that the only player with any clout is the Ontario Ministry of Environment however according to the Observer they have failed to clean up the Uniroyal site "...perplexing given its mandate to protect the environment...".
Yours truly's name is mentioned a few times in this Editorial as I am referred to as "the very vocal thorn in many sides" along with Chemtura and the MOE desperately wanting "less angry public, more "respectful" bureaucracy." If there's anything that I have learned it is that our politicians and authority figures care much less for truth and honesty and much more for appearances, smoothness and even pretend cordiality. This is especially so when all the guilty parties concluded their sweetheart deals decades ago and simply want the public to fall in line with their essentially dishonest and not in the public interest backroom deals between the Ministry of Environment and corporate polluters without morals, ethics or respect for either the law or the public.
