The older I get the more it seems that way. What do the following have in common: Grassy Narrows, Uniroyal Chemical & Elmira, Ontario, the major collapse of the bridge in Baltimore, Md., Northstar Aerospace in Cambridge, Ont., Boeing jets crashing repeatedly, the recent crash of a military helicopter and a civilian jet over the Potomac River in Washington, D.C.?
Who actually makes safety decisions affecting the public? How big a factor is cost and convenience when our authorities make decisions affecting public safety? Is there a pre-determined dollar value put on each citizen's life that determines the response or lack thereof when a safety issue is determined? If a particular ethnic or religious group are primarily affected does the dollar value of their lives vary from other citizens?
Did you know that there had been a previous ship that lost power that damaged the very same bridge in Baltimore albeit as it was a much smaller ship, less damage was done. Did you know that the sudden loss of power that caused the accident one year ago had been preceded the day before by two sudden losses of power to that same ship? Six lives were lost.
The crash between a military helicopter and a civilian airliner had to do with an airspace violation allegedly by the helicopter? It seems that our authorities permitted two individual flights to fly within approximately one hundred feet of each other at the same time?
Boeing jets have been having mid air serious incidents for the last few years including parts falling off and allegations are that there is a safety culture deficit at Boeing.
Most of the civilians whose health and lives have been damaged at Grassy Narrows are native Canadians who relied on eating fish for sustenance. The fish were full of mercury courtesy of a local, dumping paper mill.
Most of the downstream Canagagigue Creek residents and farmers outside Elmira, Ontario are Old Order Mennonites who do not believe in using the courts to settle grievances. That's mighty convenient for the upstream polluters don't you think?
Many accidents can be avoided perhaps unless the cost is higher than the perceived values of certain human lives.
The libtard socialist bureaucrats /officials who are running these things are deepthroated fans of depopulation. Mr Marshall is a very rare genuine ENVIRONMENTALIST who cares deeply about all the people while the rest of the greenwashing consultants and advocates are mostly all fake environmentalists' who have biases and socialist agenda's and will try to get rid of the people who get in their way and most certainly take advantage of their genuine peace and freedom loving neighbors.
