IS IT TOO LATE TO STOP THE CONSPIRACY IN ELMIRA, ONTARIO?

Nope, no such thing as too late. Hey it's taken over a hundred years for the truth about various local and national leaders to come out. Here in Waterloo Region we are willy nilly renaming schools that were named after famous leaders. Maybe even someday we'll rename Carl Zehr Square to something more appropriate. From John A. McDonald to local industrialist A. R. Kaufman people and historians are waking up to not only the good that they did but also the bad. Most of this Region's biggest and dirtiest polluters were heavy industries such as foundries, auto makers/suppliers, chemical plants, furniture manufacturers, rubber, plastics and textiles etc. Of course while those industries are inherently dirty with lots of leftover solid and liquid wastes, nobody forced them into using the cheapest and least effective disposal methods possible. This included direct dumping into lagoons on their own property as well as dumping both liquids (in drums) and solids in each and every landfill site (approved & otherwise) in the Region despite prohibitions against liquid wastes likely after 1973. Rules could be and were circumvented either by subterfuge or influence including well placed bottles of booze, cah or other bribes. ...................................................................................................................................... To this very day we need only examine the Region of Waterloo Annual (Water) Reports to see the leftover results for example of TCE (trichloroethylene) use and abuse by local industry in Waterloo, Kitchener and Cambridge. Small (relatively) concentrations have been and continue to be found in groundwater wells in those cities and in each case nearby and particular companies can be "credited" for their nasty disposal and or spills. Adding to C.G.T, Ciba-Geigy, Northstar, Canbar, Sunar, Uniroyal Tire in Kitchener, we also have Breslube in Breslau and Uniroyal Chemical in Elmira. ................................................................................................................ The conspiracy is simply the neverending attempts to rewrite history up here in the wilds of Elmira. Uniroyal were allegedly not cheap, lazy and dirty polluters of the air, soil, surface and groundwater causing ill health and early deaths. Oh no their "historical" toxic disposal methods were approved by the Ontario Ministry of Environment (who are equally culpable) and they have since spared no expense to properly and professionally clean that all up. Bullsh.t I say. They have always used the least expensive and least effective cleanup methods once again with the consent of the Ontario MOE/MECP. It is and has been a conspiracy of lies and disinformation.
