Same old, same old. Other than one peculiar question from Councillor Bryant last night to myself no one else asked me anything. Her question seemed to assume that my only problem with the proposed TRAC committee was one of membership on it. Yes that is a problem but I made it clear the new committee was a crock right out of the starting gate. Tinkering with garbage just like changing the name is like putting lipstick on a pig. It changes nothing fundamentally.
Eventually Woolwich Township's complicity in the pretend cleanup and coverup will become public knowledge. I gave these councillors an escape route and they appear to be uninterested. They are blindly following Dave Brenneman, Sandy Shantz and Lanxess and the Ontario Ministry of Environment. All the while we are still decades away, if ever, from our own drinking water and the downstream Canagagigue Creek continues to poison both wildlife and our downstream Old Order Mennonite neighbours.
Well if nothing else even Sandy's slim chance to escape has now been sealed. Maybe I should thank the councillors for putting the final nail in her reputation and political coffin. She will be forever known as the Woolwich three term mayor who continued to ignore the obvious and continue sailing towards the abyss.
Ironically today's Waterloo Region Record carries a story about "flawed" Agent Orange studies carried out by our Federal government regarding CFB Gagetown in New Brunswick. As I said last night at Woolwich Council "No politicians, municipal, regional, provincial or federal want to pay to clean up the former Uniroyal Chemical site in Elmira...". Junk science studies are their favourite tool apparently right across Canada.
