"GRAVEL INDUSTRY PROUD OF ITS ENVIRONMENTAL RECORD"

So is Union Carbide. BP Oil as well. Chemtura in Elmira and Northstar in Cambridge. How about Safety-Kleen in Breslau? Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and most recently the Japanese nuclear industry. Are the U.S. military proud of their environmental record in Vietnam regarding Agent orange?

Today's K-W Record carrys the above headline. I've read tripe before but this really is hard to stomach. Tony Dowling of West Montrose wrote an Editorial a few weeks back that was rational and logical. Perhaps a gravel industry spokesperson could have argued some points of it intelligently, but this opinion piece certainly isn't that. This article in today's Record doesn't even qualify as propaganda. It's bullshit, thick, steaming and stinky. Look around Waterloo Region carefully and with eyes wide open. Have you seen the disaster along the Grand River on both sides by Breslau? There is a place for gravel extraction but to date our Ministry of Natural Resources believe it's anywhere at all that gravel exists. It's not just the rape of our environment, it's the rape of our minds which is so offensive. Lying has become an art form and a profession.
