Water, Water Everywhere But Not a Drop To Drink

Southern Ontario a is toxic landfill!! After decades of industrial and residential waste polluting our soil and waterways we are reaching, or have reached a point of no return. If you bring this to the attention of the Federal Government the response is, "Not our problem. We only get involved if their is a spill or a catastrophic problem."If you talk to the Ministry of the Environment, Ontario you are told, "We have it all in hand and we can handle any problem that comes along!"

The population of Southern Ontario is increasing, industrial byproducts are enormous, nuclear reactor waste has increased and the water and the land have paid the price of this growth. At present every person in this area is drinking "treated sewage". We are drinking the treated human waste of those people living "up stream" from where we intake our drinking water. This is not only disgusting but, if a mistake is made, deadly.

I told the City of Vaughan about illegal toxic chemicals dumped around the Keele Valley Landfill. I saw it dumped. My family owned the property and are responsible for the above illegal dumping. They called me a liar and threatened me. Why? Because, if what I say is true the land value in Vaughan would plummet; there would be more legal action then could be handled by our court system. This would probably lead to public disorder. If we knew what we are growing our backyard tomatoes and peppers in, we would scream.

The City of Vaughan, the Federal and Provincial Government simply ignore the problem!

Only the people of Southern Ontario can force our governments to act; but, it is my experience that people would rather not know the truth, even if it threatens the health of their own family and especially if it will lower their personal income or property values.

On a hot summers day there is nothing better than a tomato and green pepper sandwich washed down with an ice cold glass of Ontario tap water. Enjoy!!!!
