READY FOR THE BIG DAY TOMORROW

Good news and bad news. The good news is that to my knowledge, to date no idiot politicians or polluters have attempted to stop me from speaking as a Delegate to RAC tomorrow at 5 pm. Speaking I might add as per the tilted and biased rules and as being on the Agenda (3.1). The bad news is that the powers to be continue to do what they do best which is to deny, deny, deny always followed by delay, delay, delay. I mean afterall it's been thirty-two years since Uniroyal Chemical's wastes were formally discovered in the south wellfield, approximately a mile from the manufacturing facility. The Elmira aquifers are still not drinkable, the Canagagigue Creek is full of dioxins, DDT & metabolytes, PAHs and more. Lastly the former Uniroyal site (now Lanxess) is still grossly contaminated with at best only partial hydraulic containment of contaminated groundwater. ......................................................................................................................... Tomorrow will be three weeks since I announced here in the Advocate that soil samples had been taken on the Stroh property. Furthermore it's been twelve days since I sent the memo/report to TAG members advising them that new soil sample results from the Stroh property had been obtained. Finally it was six days ago that Tiffany was attempting a back door approach to learn details about these soil samples containing dioxins/furans. That back door approach was rebuffed and yet here we are with no response from either the TAG Chair or members asking me for...well anything. Clarification or perhaps a full copy of the lab analyses etc. Also very interestingly there has been zero response from our less than esteemed Ontario Ministry of Environment (MOE/MECP). Isn't it their mandate to want to know any and all evidence of contamination that has migrated from one grossly contaminated property to another? Apparently either they don't care or they already know but want to keep it as quiet as possible. .......................................................................................................... Where exactly are our allegedly honest, in the public interest, simple servants hiding? Why do they not do their duty and pursue both input from very informed citizens (CPAC & MORE) as well as hard evidence of off-site contamination from Uniroyal Chemical's production of Agent Orange and it's devastating health consequences for so many. Maybe the MOE/MECP want to believe that only Vietnamese and American servicemen & families are horribly, adversely affected by the 2,3,7,8 TCDD (dioxin) in Agent Orange. Maybe they believe that the seriously and sincerely religious downstream Old Order Mennonites have religious immunity to chemical toxins. Or maybe they are simply corrupt.
