That quote in the title above was a quote in today's Waterloo Region Record by provincial Opposition Leader Marit Stiles in reference to the Greenbelt scandal and Doug Ford's Conservative Party. Now of course from a partisan standpoint I might point out Mayor Shantz's political preference (Conservative) however truth be told the provincial Liberals were also no slouches when it came to scandals (remember the gas plant scandal?)
So right now the Citizens Public Advisory Committee (CPAC) continue to wait for a firm date to sit down apparently not so much with Woolwich Council as we had requested but more with the people they hide behind. That would include Tiffany Svensson (TAG Chair), Dave Brenneman (CAO), plus inevitably the mayor. Only two councillors, Cadeau and Schwindt are named to be present. Geez if the mayor and friends really want to "handle" CPAC why don't they hire Ramin Ansari of Lanxess Canada to attend and represent Woolwich Township. He may as well as he's been in charge of the pretend cleanup for years anyways.
It won't be a public meeting. Dave Brenneman and even Sandy aren't that stupid. It also won't be any kind of open and fair meeting. Again they aren't that stupid. While I do not remotely trust Woolwich Township to fix the mess of RAC and TAG, which Sandy and former councillor Mark Bauman initiated, I do hope that whatever councillors are present have an open mind. Which I guess is why at the moment only two (Cadeau & Schwindt) are scheduled to attend.
Woolwich Township have a long and despicable history with the Uniroyal Chemical/ Elmira Water Crisis file. Maybe the new blood on Council will see the light but to date not so. I'm no longer even counting on this meeting ever happening which is exactly what Sandy and Dave prefer.
