NEXT TAG MEETING TO DISCUSS DRAFT HUMAN HEALTH ECOLOGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT (HHERA)

Well first of all the virtual meeting is next Thursday (Feb. 24/22) at 6:30 pm. To attend (but good gosh no you can't speak, ask questions or make comments) phone or e-mail Lisa Schaefer at 519 6691647 (X 6112) or at lschaefer@woolwich.ca . You will be regaled by some talking heads who especially if not TAG members will use a ton of acronyms, long words and unlikely logic to explain what dozens of people over several years have been doing to give some semblance of credibility and science to a self-serving pile of steaming hot horse manure. Lanxess are paying a lot of money in order to be able to "prove" that they are environmentally responsible and going to clean up their decades old messes in and around Elmira. Of course literally tons of their toxic wastes has already volatolized, leaked, flowed and been dumped off their site onto public and private property. Rest assurred however those inconvenient truths will not see the light of day in any of the final and formal documents if at all possible. ........................................................................................................................ First of all public consultation has been pathetic. There has been no real public consultation whatsoever since September 2015 and even before then it was constrained by illegal and immoral political and corporate activities. Every means possible to make back and forth discussion impossible with some of the most qualified, experienced and dedicated local stakeholders (citizens, residents, taxpayers etc.) have been sucessfully employed. Corruption, deceit and lying were and are the tools of the polluter and fellow travellors whether local politicians or a few citizens. ............................................................................................................ Secondly much of the raw data from the Canagagigue Creek was less than a joke. Criticism from CPAC, TAG and even the Ministry of Environment resulted in bandaids, mickey mouse "fixes" and adjustments and amendments that should not have occurred. If a submarine is repeatedly sinking do you simply start shutting hatches, screen doors and valves one at a time until you stop drowning people or do you scrap the entire technological and mechanical mess and start over from scratch? If the dying people and wildlife are in and around Elmira you just ignore them and push on ahead to attempt to complete a partial and inadequate cleanup based upon GIGO i.e. GARBAGE (data) IN GARBAGE OUT .
