THIS IS THE FUTURE OF THE GROSSLY CONTAMINATED LANXESS CANADA PROPERTY IN ELMIRA, ONTARIO

Lying, cheating, bribing, back stabbing, lobbying, defaming, delaying, deceiving, out of context "facts", partial truths, whisper campaigns, intimidating, threatening, suing, blacklisting etc. the list of behaviours goes on and on. White lies, black lies, lies of omission, lies of commission, lies of every colour, odour, size and level are all on the table. The "little" people might lie on a resume to get a mediocre job to put a roof over their heads and to eat three meals a day. The rich and powerful in our society attempt life changing lies in order to harm people they view as standing in the way of their life long lives of privelege. They belive that they are entitled to walk over others rights in order to both maintain and increase their personal power, authority and wealth. Sometimes they call themselves Conservatives. Sometimes they call themselves Liberals. Regardless that sense of entitlement is most often seen in its' full blown splendor with politicians. We have just been treated to several provincial and federal politicians across Canada ( & the U.S.) stepping down after their hypocritical behaviour in demanding that citizens not travel during Christmas while they go to California, Florida, the Caribbean and St. Barts. ...................................................................................................................... Industrial and business entitlement is usually less public. They work behind the scenes enlisting all the nasty behaviours listed above. Local, provincial and federal politicians are their usual accomplices. Not all of course but usually they have a large choice to pick from. Unlike other local citizens then in Elmira I was never approached by Uniroyal Chemical privately to work on their behalf environmentally. Industrial polluters love "natural attenuation". They love dilution is the solution to pollution even more. The idea is to locate along creeks and rivers and dump your wastes into them for as long as the public (not the politicians) will allow you to. Even after you've stopped dumping and the MOE have been forced into ordering remediation, these companies employ all the nasty behaviours listed above to lessen their responsibility and their cleanup costs. ................................................................................................................. Just look at Lot 91 in Elmira at the extreme east end of Oriole Parkway. "Cleanup" consisted of removing all surface drums of chemicals and some of the buried ones. The soil and ground was saturated with solvents and much more. That site has been draining via both surface flow during rainstorms and via groundwater into Lanfill Creek since then (1994) and then into the nearby Canagagigue Creek. Methane levels in the sub-surface, likely from the First St. Landfill located across Landfill Creek, resulted in Woolwich Council putting a holding provision of some kind on the property. No buildings were to be constructed below ground surface (i.e. basements) as the methane levels were explosive as they exceeded 50 parts per million (ppm). Not a problem. Yesterday I noticed a FOR Sale sign by Cushman & Wakefield on the property. They are advertising 5.1 acres of INDUSTRIAL LAND. What the hell! For that to happen Woolwich Council will have to rezone , remove the holding provision and provide water and sewer services to a site that is reclaimed floodplain. Yes Dorothy...DILUTION IS THE SOLUTION TO POLLUTION in Woolwich Township. ...................................................................................................... This is also called the "do nothing" option. Let the filth (those in charge) allow the filth (solvents, PCBs, dioxins, NDMA etc.) to discharge slowly over decades and enrich the lives of aquatic organisms as well as human beings downstream.
