Politics trumps facts everyday of the week. Our idiot Prime Minister once stupidly stated that you don't need an AR15 rifle to shoot deer. His inference was that an AR15 is a much too powerful assault rifle for shooting deer. In fact it is neither an assault rifle despite his fervent wishes (yes it looks like one) and secondly in Ontario at least, AR15s and other rifles that shoot the same calibre of bullets (.223 / 5.56 mm) are illegal to use on deer because their calibre (diameter) is too small! In other words AR15s are underpowered for use on deer even though as militarys' have discovered around the world they are hell on wheels for stopping, dropping, injuring and requiring extra manpower to remove and treat wounded soldiers. The military's old rifle calibres were 30-06, .308, 7.62 mm., 310, .313 etc. Those calibres were more effective at quick kills on soldiers albeit fewer resources were then needed to attempt to save those who died quickly.
Certain politicians are going to be given an opportunity to do the right thing. Please stop laughing now! They will be presented with smoking environmental guns. They will likely understand and believe what they are shown. Will they however stand up and confront Lanxess and the Ontario Ministry of Environment? Unlikely because certain facts of life will be pointed out to them. Municipal, regional, provincial and federal governments are all in bed with the Elmira status quo. Those unworthy shits have long ago decided that in their opinions the status quo of relatively inexpensive pretend cleanup is in the public interest (and theirs) versus actually doing much more than allowing time and dilution to slowly over decades and centuries clean up the Elmira Aquifers and the Canagagigue Creek.
