Firstly it went to all six Woolwich Township councillors . Then I sent it to eight different local citizen environmentalists. Thirdly this morning it went to all sixteen regional councillors. SIXTEEN of them. Wow maybe that's why some complain that we are over governed. Personally I don't mind the numbers if we are well governed. The problem is that we are not and the two cherries on top are the current, anonymous, sneaky, back door land assembly in Wilmot Township combined with three and a half decades of pretend ground and surface water cleanup in Elmira (i.e. Uniroyal Chemical). Numerous unnecessary new gravel pits whether in North Dumfries, Wilmot or Woolwich are a third major issue being conveniently ignored.
I also went looking yesterday for e-mail addresses for our Crown Prosecuters. Not so easy to find. I ended up making a few phone calls both to provincial and federal Crowns looking for clarification as well as to share information. Federally speaking we must not forget that Uniroyal was invited to Elmira during World War Two in order to produce explosive stabilizers for the Canadian government/military. Later on (1960s) Uniroyal was also under contract to the U.S. military for herbicides/defoliants such as Agent Orange for use in Vietnam. Finally some may know that prior to the discovery of NDMA in Elmira's south wellfield the Canadian government in 1989 had undertaken a groundwater study in Elmira trying to determine the best remediation methods for Uniroyal's wastes. Isn't that a hoot? My understanding is that after the "discovery" of NDMA , the province of Ontario told the Feds to take a hike because the destruction of our groundwater was a provincial matter solely.
we have been poisoned! We are over-governed and over-regulated, over-taxed and yet more under-served than ever... we have been poisoned and corrupted
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, hardly any of the NIMBY gravel pit people seem to give a shit about the Elmira drinking water...thus they are fake environmentalists
