It never ceases to amaze me the arrogance of politicians, brings to mind the old saying "trust me we are with the government". This topic is disturbing on many levels but its ironic that Elizabeth Henning claims that out of the goodness of the Federal Governments heart they are footing the bill for remediation in SRFN and to a windfall being transported to Sturgeon Falls Landfill. Miraculously the arsenic levels have diminished to an acceptable level to eliminate concerns. Who performed these tests on the soil? Who had a input as to where this soil would be evaluated? I have questions as to the credibility of the vendor performing the test and on what spectrum of contaminants. Obviously if the soil is at an acceptable level it would be more cost effective and prudent to leave in SRFN where the its "safe" and taxpayers are not burdened by the expense. Makes me wonder if this was the same testing structure performed on the recent water test in Vernor?Another question is to a comment of the Municipality having "insurance" if a problem presented itself. Where is the protection for the wildlife and residents proactively? Democracy does not end after election and transparency is not up to interpretation.
Anybody who will accept this explanation surely deserves the representation that is in place and makes me sad for the future of our community and generation.
If by extensive discussion from the public you mean the "one question one answer " that's it shut up community inclusion that was afforded extensive with very little clarity and the municipal concerns addressed as BLA BLA BLA by those not taking the environment and people's health seriously; just the money it generates that fuel slush funds and pensions you have no say in but your one question. There is no real leadership here just Provincial mandates and there won't be any of these leadership here once they unalive members of your beloved community when running with pockets full they have gone. Fund it then eat it sad to say. Good luck with that. I'm a Walkerton water tragedy survivor watching history repeat itself when leadership there said they would never risk citizens lives again with foolishness and incompetence.
I know this is mixing apples and oranges but it's still interesting that the reported measure of 430 parts per million (PPM) is considered catastrophic for CO2 in the atmosphere. The difference is that CO2 is the food of all green plants and thus all life. Where as arsenic is toxic to all life under almost any circumstances.
Are your yard going down? By the time the water tests contaminated it is too late for am contingency plan. Once it is the water table there is no going back.
The contaminated soil is not safe for SRFN! But it is safe to be dumped 1 K from our source of drinking water. WTF, who is receiving the kick back? All about the $$$
It's OK to disregard your ground water with their toxins to generate revenue to feed their lavish yet a citizen has a chicken dispatch anal sauce on their land for food and pest control and they are the problems in the environment who need to be taxed and penalize the more. No leadership here just paychecks following its own incompetence mandated from above. As a citizen know your rights and if this is your home and land you live you have a right to say no and mean it. If you provide your support then you commit to the ignorance should it present as failure suspected. Aiding and abetting it implicated you in the compliance. Sometimes fixing ourselves fixes everything. Follow better get there better.

Good comparison.

Defensive people are usually hiding something.

Ward 1 Councillor Kris Rivard, a Green Party candidate, reminds me of Larry Vaughn, the mayor of Amity Island in the 1975 film Jaws.
The contingency plan? Could it be at first warning, sell quick, rent a U-haul and get out of town?
