STOP THE GREAT LAKES NUCLEAR DUMP INC.

Yesterday's Waterloo Region Record has the following story "Group wants nuclear waste kept far from Lake Huron". Apparently there are two separate proposals currently underway. One is to bury low and intermediate strenth radioactive waste and the other is for high strength radioactive waste to be buried in a "deep geological repository". This group based in Bruce County are fighting the plan for low and intermediate wastes to be buried near Kincardine on Lake Huron's shore. The high waste stuff has at the moment five possible host communities all in Bruce County including the former Southampton (now saugeen Shores).

The best quote of the article for me is "It defies common sense to bury radioactive waste beside a source of drinking water that 40 million people rely on". The Stop the Great Lakes Nuclear Dump group are taking their campaign to Toronto via billboards. They believe and rightly so that this is a national environmental issue. To date our authorities have utterly failed to show transparency and honesty in any environmental assessments, appeals etc. They wonder why citizens have so little confidence in them when their standard operating procedure is propaganda, public relations and junk science. Add to this just about every community in southern Ontario have their own environmental time bombs courtesy of industry without conscience and government with only token oversight. Locally remember Walkerton, Elmira, William St wells in Waterloo,
coal tar and Safety-Kleen in Kitchener, the Middleton wellfield, C.G.T., Ciba-Geigy and Northstar in Cambridge. Our authorities are not worthy of our trust and haven't been for decades.
