Dump Site 41, a proposed dump on the pristine Alliston Aquifer, has become one of the most contentious environmental issues in Ontario today. This week, Living at the Barricades speaks with Mark Calzavara of The Council of Canadians, and Ray Millar, a resident of Tiny Township in anticipation of a major rally set for July 25, 2009. We’ll also hear from local residents who used our call in number to tell us why on they think the Ontario government and Simcoe County officials seem determined to build a dump on one of the purest sources of water in Canada.

Music on this weeks show:

Trash - New York Dolls

My heart is a piece of garbage. Fight Seagulls! Fight! - Rae Spoon

We live in a Dump - They Might Be Giants

Local residents and authorities should not have the power to abuse the environment like that. They should be held responsible for the damage they are doing. The judge who signed the injonction to stop the protesters is biased and should loose his job. Pressure should come from everywhere to make these people wake up to what they are really doing. I think the so-called experts who say there is no danger for the water have no credibility at all, regardless of the number of millions they collected for their expertise.
