The sky is the limit. From the DNAPL coverup to the failure to fully contain all aquifers as was demanded in the November 1991 Control Order down to the charade of public consultation in regards to the Elmira Water Crisis. What about public corruption? I'm doubtful that many if any governments in Canada have had to ever face criminal charges in regards to their partisan, not in the public interest, self-serving (the party) behaviour. Think about it. There have been lots of scandals whether involving the Liberals or the Conservatives in power both at the provincial and federal levels and while there may have been Inquiries etc., criminal charges seem not to exist.
How about why hasn't there been demands for a Public Inquiry since the announcement in 2015 or 2016 that our groundwater would not be restored to drinking water standards by 2028 as both promised and mandated? Oh right all the guilty parties have been misbehaving under the watchful eyes of the Ontario Ministry of Environment, Woolwich Township, Region of Waterloo, the federal government etc.
How about the latest news (4 weeks ago?) that RAC and TAG are finally getting scrapped. What a pair of disgusting excuses for public consultation although let me be clear: there are and there have been some individual competent and honest people on board. The new committee is to be named TRAC which stands for Technical and Remeiation Advisory Committee. Let's see who Lanxess/MECP /Woolwich Mayor appoint to that group. If it's merely an amalgamation of the same personnel as are on RAC & TAG then it's just one more sick joke, yet again.
There are specifics on what Lanxess/GHD/MECP have done wrong regarding remediating the Elmira Aquifers. There is of course lots to say about the sham of a Risk Assessment of the downstream Canagagigue Creek. And on and on. See you at the public meeting I hope.
