I must say that it is a pleasure reading almost every day about the Region of Waterloo's incompetence and negligence regarding our mutual water systems. Today I will be mentioning the hot air and absolute stupid comments from M.P.P. Mike Harris regarding the Region's water crisis as well as more first hand evidence from rural citizens living on the west side of Kitchener whom I may carefully compare to frogs in a pot of slowly, increasingly hotter water. No offence is meant by this metaphor.
Mike Harris Jr. Jr.'s comments are published in great detail in this week's Woolwich Observer newspaper. The residents and citizens knowledge has been passed on to the public both in today's K-W Record by Terry Pender and in previous days and is straightforward and clear. Some of Mr. Harris Jr. Jr.'s asinine comments include "These infrastructure challenges are not a reason for critical infrastructure builds or housing projects to stall,". He also suggested that " We expect the Region to continue to provide clear updates on how additional capacity will be delivered and timelines for when it is brought online." Clearly Mr. Harris Jr. Jr. isn't worried about how much water is left in our aquifers. Maybe he will reassure us by stating that God is a Progressive Conservative who would never let our aquifers run dry.
Two longtime local residents of Wilmot Township have spoken of their personal experiences with the falling water table for decades. This has included sinking multiple new wells and going deeper for the water that they need. The Waterloo Moraine is an incredible resource and it certainly appears that it has been abused and taken for granted by our authorities.
There are two options. Firstly serious investigation into the groundwater levels throughout the Waterloo Moraine. Maybe the data is already available. Secondly if the water levels are better than expected and that we've been led to believe, then I would question what was the motive for this scare, this alleged crisis. Are our provincial and regional authorities so corrupt that they would attempt to manufacture a crisis in order to promote a multi billion dollar pipeline from Lake Erie to here? Somebodies will make millions of dollars profits on any such pipeline that we the taxpayers will pay for.
So if there is a legitimate water supply crisis than our regional councillors (and some staff ?) need to get the boot and quickly for incompetence and negligence. If the crisis is a fake then some of the above along with provincial politicians need some long term rest and relaxation in a provincial institution (i.e. jail).
