DISGUSTING ENABLERS

I guess my focus for decades has been on the two most corrupt parties namely the Ontario Ministry of Environment (MOE/MECP) and on the company whether Uniroyal/Crompton/Chemtura or now Lanxess. In one sense this has been to reduce friction and increase cooperation with the peripheral parties. The problem is the whole process is similar to either a parliament or a legislature whereby everybody present are members of one political party or another and while they might like to suggest government corruption they generally prefer to suggest that their opposing colleagues are more likely to be incompetent or out of touch. Afterall if too many politicians are exposed as corrupt what does that say about the rest? .................................................................................................................................. The lengthy comment posted by a reader on yesterday's post is an eye opener. The reader strongly takes offense with "enablers". I sometimes refer to these enablers as "fellow travellors". Recently I've taken the gloves off and attempted to expose the depth of corruption surrounding and supporting Lanxess's and the MOE/MECP's efforts to sell their various clean up strategies, risk assessments and other assorted psuedo scientific efforts. These are psuedo scientific because the "science" all comes from GHD as it used to come from Conestoga Rovers (CRA). CRA were often criticized for their rose tinted glasses in interpreting what sometimes might be reasonable science, to their client's financial advantage. Afterall what exactly do you think polluters hire consultants for? To tell the unvarnished, absolute truth? For the love of God people, money rules and always has. ............................................................................................................................. I have recently listed TAG, RAC, MECP, Lanxess, GRCA, Woolwich Council, GHD and Regional Council as corrupt bodies based on their response to my simple question: Would you like to receive the complete copy of the recently received professional soil analyses? Now GHD and the Region did not respond and as I recall the GRCA may also have sent some mumbo jumbo crap about who is or isn't available to respond. Sorry but no answer just means that you are both corrupt and cowardly. For the love of God Lanxess actually stepped up and at least showed some smarts and courage in answering the question directly and forthrightly. All the rest of you are enablers, fellow travellors and guilty as hell. ......................................................................................................................... Now I expect that there are members of these various groups who were not asked for their input. The Chair, mayor, director etc. took it upon themselves to play the game and close ranks around Lanxess Canada. Any honest members need to step up and make a PUBLIC stink. Anything less and you are just as guilty. The fact that private deals between the guilty parties, never released to the public are in existence, has never been so obvious. These never released to the public, private deals, are for good reason. The public interest has been ignored or at best given short shrift. It's all about preserving money, power, influence, reputation and status for both our politicians and our polluters and regulators. There should have been a Public Inquiry or honest equivalent, decades ago. The guilty parties continue to run out the clock so as to avoid accountability and culpability. Witnesses and many victims have and are passing on.
