THE SUITS DO THEIR DEATH DANCE

I came across this expression about twenty-five years ago in Elmira, Ontario. I have no idea who coined it but it was in relation to the Ministry of Environment plus a number of consultants on behalf of Uniroyal Chemical. They were present at a public meeting for the purpose of misinforming the public about the best way to deal with Uniroyal's destruction of the Elmira Aquifers plus extensive damage to Canagagigue Creek and all life in it.

That was around 1990 or even the big public meeting in 1995. I am expecting that we'll have another one soon as the M.O.E. and Chemtura attempt to head off even more devastating revelations surrounding their environmental misbehaviour. It turns out that they've been permitting/allowing toxic discharges from their site into the natural environment off of their site. Of course for a few million I have no doubt that they can somewhat buy their way out of trouble once again. Isn't money a fabulous way to buy legitimacy and respect?

All the key elements are in place. A Ministry of the provincial government (M.O.E.) have two summers in a row determined that there is excessive levels of DDT in the sediments of the Canagagigue Creek. These readings most conveniently are downstream of where a recently discovered manmade Drain has been found. The north end of this Drain ends about 85 metres short of the south end of Uniroyals former toxic waste pits on their eastern property line. There is a pipe running from the direction of the pits into the Drain. Further adding suspense is the recent discovery via Google earth of a line, scar or trench which runs for hundreds of yards north to south and then jogs east to end right at the end of the eastern pits as previously mentioned, 85 metres from the Drain. At first blush one could certainly be forgiven for assuming that this pipe is simply the extension of the line, scar or trench. To date that has yet to be proven although testimony from a local landowner is tantalyzing.

The lies and deception have already started. Look for all the stops to be pulled out. This one could do serious damage to many, many self-important people.
