ELMIRA ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER A METAPHOR & A MICROCOSM OF THE FAILURE OF DEMOCRACY

Bluntly put our authorities have way too much (authority). You've heard the jokes about the most important job in the world coming with no qualifications i.e. parenthood. Well guess what, the second most important (politicians) comes with even less. Good looks and money are just about it. Yes there are the exceptions to the rule. Yes there are some very smart people in politics. Yes there are complete idiots (Hmm Doug Ford-former silver spoon druggie & Mike Harris the third, current local M.P.P.). And yet they succeed and we the public pay the price. ............................................................................................................... Our authorities literally lie to us day in and day out. Is it any wonder that currently in the start of the third Covid wave that people are demonstrating against masks in Kitchener? How do we know when these same idjits in charge are telling the truth and when they are lying? Our judicial systems are also retarded (oops not politically correct- how about "hopeless"). At one time justice systems around the world jailed, whipped and chemically castrated homosexuals. Marijuana use started the "War on Drugs" in the United States which led to criminal records and the largest percentage of citizens incarcerated in the world. Pharmaceutical companies-the very same who currently may be saving us all now with vaccinations have been found responsible for overprescribing and promoting opoids and powerful painkillers for their own profit enhancement with full knowledge that they were extremely addictive. This they denied as they promoted opiod use to citizens via their family doctors. ........................................................................................................................ Our environmental laws currently are under attack from that bastian of mediocrity and non-intellectual ability: Doug Ford. Hell in the U.S. they elected Donald Trump whose stupidity included misogony, sexual assault and he even bragged publicly about grabbing womens' privates. Oh and Mr. Trump was also a racist. Yet he got elected to the highest, most powerful position in the world. Is it any wonder that the coverup of the facts, the human health implications and the culpability of the Ontaio government via the Ministry of Environment has been so sucessful? The environmental implications are also horrific and equally ignored by our authorities with impunity. The United States sprayed dioxins (Agent Orange) on civilian populations, crops and roadways. U.S. troops and the next two generations of their children/grandchildren have also paid the price. As have Canadians exposed to Agent Orange produced both in Canada (Elmira-Uniroyal Chemical) and the U.S.
