People buy cases and cases of bottled drinking water here every day in northern Ontario where we are surrounded by probably the world's cleanest fresh water supply. The bottled water people buy is all from agricultural farm lands in southern Ontario and Quebec bottled by companies who pay nothing for the water and pennies for the plastic. People pay companies a fortune for the plastic that holds highly treated municipal tap water to drink.
Is it any wonder that officials don't really think twice about dumping nuclear waste right next to one of Canada's most densely populated centres?
We have millions and millions of acres of empty land across all of Canada from the high Arctic to the US border ... and someone thought it was a good idea to consider dumping nuclear waste about 100km from Canada's largest city.
Teeswater is also the same area of the province where all those cheap bottle water companies harvest most of their water.
