DAVID VERSUS GOLIATH ONLY GOLIATH'S WEAPONS ARE MONEY, WORDS, CREDENTIALISM, POLITICS, ASSUMPTIONS, PERVERSE LOGIC, TIME & IMMENSE QUANTITIES OF HORSESHIT

Brass and chutzpah. I forgot those in the title above. Oh and also confidence that nice Canadians won't too seriously point out that the Emperor is not wearing clothes. That might afterall be rude. Fortunately I'm not always nice and am sometimes rude when dealing with the likes of Lanxess and friends. ........................................................................................................................ Way back when Dr. Henry Regier referred to an earlier (2004?) Risk Assessment done on the Uniroyal site as being "Greenwashing". That pretty much describes it to a T. ................................................................................................................................. "I am in awe of the recent Draft Risk Assessment (R.A.) for the, downstream from Uniroyal/Lanxess, Canagagigue Creek which was written by a reputable company (Stantec) on behalf of the owners of one of the worst contaminated sites in Ontario if not Canada. Using analytical data which Stantec clearly point out they ASSUME is accurate as it was collected by CRA/GHD under contract to Uniroyal/Lanxess; Stantec have concluded based upon assumptions, unusual logic, wishful thinking and all missing or unavailable data being interpreted as helpful to Lanxess's interests that all is well/acceptable in the Canagagigue Creek from Uniroyal/Lanxess down to the Grand River, five miles away, with perhaps only minor issues right on the Uniroyal/Lanxess property. All the detections of toxic chemicals both above and below provincial or federal criteria have been sucessfully, verbally and in writing remediated, repudiated, denied and ignored in accordance with the corporate principles of Lanxess and their fellow travellors." ........................................................................................................................ My condolences to all lifeforms, human, wildlife, reptiles, mammals, birds, fish, and invertebrates that have suffered and or died from toxic exposures and uptake. Your mostly undocumented sacrifce over the last seventy years has significantly increased the profits paid to shareholders of this mighty corporation and we must never forget that corporate life is and always has been far more important than real lives.
