Activist Post series: | E.5 | Gathering nearly 1000 petitions signed that landed on the Prime Minister of Canada's desk to fight a $300M Incinerator on the shores of Lake Ontario
As many of you know - I've put my money and time where my mouth has been over the years. I have not sat behind a keyboard only, mouthing off at people or the government that daily -- steals our civil liberties and some would say a lot more on top.
I've researched policy, run protests, given speeches, called out the police state and related corruption for years in government related "services" -- and I use the word service -- very loosely, believe me.
The photo immediately above, relates to this particular matter/protest as I hold the Public / Police Protest Line.
As usual, the public is ignored, manhandled, badgered, targeted etc for questioning public spending policy and decisions, civil rights stolen, yet we are forced by manufactured consent and violence by the state -- to pay the freight and comply with corruption in public service.
The Durham-York Incinerator or as I call it --- the Trash / Cash Burner highlights and why the residents fought this for YEARS:
It took $300M of our Regional Gas Tax / Infrastructure money and poured it down the drain into one project
~150 heavily armed Police Officers, in flak gear showed up this day, that we had to PAY for out of extorted tax dollars, we had to pay a bulk of them HUGE overtime -- and they manhandled ~150 PEACEFUL protestors, that were peaceful, as we held the protest line in a publicly funded project.
The Covanta company building it -- has been fined WORLDWIDE over the years many many many times, with a dirty record that is very apparent.
This is built on the shores of Lake Ontario in Canadastan here -- polluting the air and watershed of Canada's most highly dense population area including that of Canada's largest city - Toronto.
Politicians ignored the scientific evidence on the record for years stating and showing the nano particulates emitted would poison the air and watershed - particularly PM 2.5 -- (particulate matter 2.5 Mcg - which crosses the blood brain barrier causing ALL kinds of health issues which then become generational)
The project was mandated by Regional Council to use LOCAL LABOUR AND TRADES to complete this project en masse --- and that was also not fulfilled as it should have been.
I was quoted and interviewed by the National (paid off, lamestream) Media on this and many other issues over the years:

......Residents in Durham Region protested the ground-breaking ceremony of a controversial garbage incinerator facility in Clarington, just east of Oshawa on Wednesday.
Locals say that the site, near Courtice Road and south of Highway 401, is too close to the lake and will become an environmental issue that could plague the community for years.
Attendance at the ground-breaking Wednesday was by invitation only, but many locals stormed on to the site to make their voices heard.
The public battle has been raging for seven years, but the residents say they are willing to fight on until they stop the incinerator, which is to be built south of Highway 401 near Lake Ontario.
"The lake is right there, how would you like it if they did that where you live?" asked community member Barry Dutton.
The $272-million Durham York Energy Centre, which will service both Durham and York Regions, will burn up to 140,000 tonnes of garbage a year.........

Though I'm not Canadian, I stand with you in principle because right is right and wrong is wrong! I admire your tenacity and resolve! Keep up the good work, @barrydutton
I wish you many successes on your fight for reducing government waste, and a cleaner environment. It’s great to see someone stand up and out in public over things they believe in.
I’ve tried applying in the past a few times to entry level accounting positions in government down here in Florida. Needless to say I was not welcome lol. Perhaps my cover letter being about the opportunity I was looking to gain from working under one of their employees who at the time was reducing government spending and waste was not the best idea.
Its good to see someone stand up for what they believe in, especially when it's about our earth. We have to take care of it!!
Great Post
Thank you.
Awesome post! I can see you are putting quite a bit of effort into your content! Keep it up! Just wondering, has anyone ever used the donation links for you?
