Fair enough they've got deep pockets and egos so it's unlikely they'll run for their corporate mamas at the first hints of trouble. However as their foundations begin to quake I wonder how serious their exit strategies are. I'm referring to Hadley and Luis although there are lots of others less directly involved in the environmental scam. Allan Deal isn't there for GHD all the time but his lack of understanding of DNAPLS is actually painful. The GHD folk have come and gone but they are just as slippery as their predecessors. Same with the Ministry of Environment, Conservation & Parks. I still view the MECP as the Ministry of Expanded Corporate Pollution. It is maximum talk and speech per single molecule of contaminant removed from the natural environment. You know in an honest organization there would be bonus and promotions not for the smoothest, sleaziest talkers but for those who actually stop pollution. Now we've got Lubna Hussain and Jason Rice. Dear God.
I am currently involved in searching for an environmental partner. A partner with motives considerably different than the Lanxess folk, the GHD folk and the MECP folk. One problem of course is total loss of respect and credibility of the MECP. Yes back in 1990 there were howls for a Public Inquiry into the Ontario Ministry of Environment. Under Jim Bradley (Liberal) they were actually laying charges and getting convictions. It needs to happen again.
Science can do a lot if it is properly funded. Laws however are constantly being written with no intent to ever enforce them. This too is why the Justice system has fallen into disrepute. Here in Elmira the polluters produce their own science at will.
