CARTOONS & 3RD PARTY QUOTES/FOOTNOTES

I'm about to assist all the reading and time challenged folks who prefer to have the hits come hard and fast at them when they are reading, by a very quick summary of the last three chapters posted on-line of "Elmira Water Woes: The Triumph Of Corruption, Deceit, And Citizen Betrayal". These are chapters nineteen through twenty-one. They can be accessed at www.waterlooregionadvocate.blogspot.com or simply Google waterloo region advocate.

Chapter Nineteen is the funniest one. Considering that my book is not remotely supposed to be intended to make people feel good about what's happened here in Elmira, how can this be? It is because I have included a number of already published cartoons that in my opinion lampoon both institutions, individuals, and really bad political ideas. To my mind cartoons through humour often get their political and or environmental points across much better and much faster than either preaching or long winded text. These cartoons in my opinion are excellent and the credit for both understanding the issues and then making the readers laugh at the absurdity of our authorities behaviour and words all belongs to the author of them.

Chapter twenty is a devastating critique of the long time consultants to Uniroyal/Crompton, Chemtura etc., the Ontario Ministry of Environment, and the socially irresponsible polluter. It is not my words that are quoted but rather the words of Dr. Richard Jackson, TAG Chair, publicly spoken (and recorded) at TAG meetings between September 2015 and his final TAG meeting in December 2016.

Chapter twenty-one I feel is a devastating critique of the Woolwich council between 2015 and 2018. I emphasize the time frame because although there are still some guilty members on the current council, there are also two new and improved members. This chapter quotes at length the reactions of multiple local media in Waterloo Region to the public and abominable behaviour of Woolwich Council in trying to shut down citizen environmental activists here in Woolwich Township.

Happy reading!
