"Someone from OPG should explain to me why wanting clean drinking water makes you an activist, and why proposing to destroy water with chemical warfare doesn’t make you a terrorist."  <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=338af8ab89&e=45743fde61> Ralph Splettstoesser in his presentation to the joint Review Panel on the proposed Deep Geological Repository in Kincardine, ON, a.k.a. DUD (deep underground dump), where Ontario Power Generation is proposing to bury all of Ontario’s low and intermediate level nuclear waste, on the shores of Lake Huron

This is all just one big shell game aimed at pushing off the problems until the future.”

☢ First Nations must speak for themselves, nuclear hearing told <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=c4a98dfdc4&e=45743fde61>  “Radiation does not respect town lines,” Chief Randall Kahgee of the Saugeen Ojibway Nations (SON) told the panel.

☢  OPP quiz opponents to Lake Huron nuclear dump prior to hearings <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=e768c6fc8c&e=45743fde61>  The subliminal message, he said, is patently obvious: Behave yourself; we’ll be watching. But Neal Kelly, spokesman for Ontario Power Generation, which wants to build the dump, said in an email that the OPP’s “engagement” came at the request of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission and “local municipalities.” 

☢ OPP contact stirs DGR debate <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=9bad8821bc&e=45743fde61>  For the local activists, the police visit was one in a line of failed community outreach efforts related to the OPG project. “I don’t think OPG has consulted the community or I don’t think their definition of community is accurate or in any way representative,” said Fernandez in an interview Saturday. “Community is the 40 million people who live in the Great Lakes basin and draw their drinking water from the Great Lakes.” She said OPG focused its outreach in Bruce County where nuclear industry employees are economically inclined to support the project, and that OPG -- through lucrative hosting agreements -- has effectively bought local municipalities' support.

☢ OPP should stay out of homes of nuclear waste opponents: Editorial <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=ca3b92a558&e=45743fde61>  Ontario Provincial Police was way out of line when its cops visited citizens who planned to speak at hearings on the proposed nuclear waste dump near Lake Huron.
