Hoping I've got the correct full name above. If not then the K-W Record can come after me for the mistake if for example it is just National Media Council for example. So I guess I want my cake and to eat it too. I'm very glad that the Record wrote that prodigious article on November 15/25 but am disappointed in the number of unnecessary factual inaccuracies involved as I've listed here over the last couple of weeks. I'm happy because the Record have informed the public that this environmental crisis still has not been resolved after 36 years! That lack of resolution is pathetic and every tier of our political governance should be ashamed from municipal, regional, provincial and federal.
The reason for all the errors is fairly simple. The reporter Terry Pender doesn't know the good guys from the excrement. Is that a little harsh perhaps? No not at all. The excrement literally have destroyed health and lives over the decades by hiding behind the lack of a health study plus the shared culpability of Uniroyal Chemical, their successors, the Ontario Ministry of Environment, Woolwich Council and Regional Council. I'm giving the Feds a pass on culpability regarding Uniroyal's actions through the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. I think that since then they should have stepped in whether they think so or not.
The National Media group found in my favour regarding the last complaint I sent them about a Uniroyal Chemical story dealing with Agent Orange. This one has far more errors and inaccuracies and while several errors are relatively minor they nevertheless are unnecessary. Hopefully the Record will realize that there is not unanimity here in Elmira regarding Uniroyal/Lanxess Canada behaviour and decision making and will interview the dissenters as well.
