MORE: TRUST US AND THEN PROVE IT WAS US

It would seem governments all over Canada are quite anxious to sell out their ratepayers and then look the other way. 

Look at this heartbreaking situation in Eastern Canada.

The Story of Water and Penobsquis
Excerpt from website:

Now certainly the story of Penobsquis is not only about water.

The story of Penobsquis is a cautionary tale for the rest of the province though, and it would serve other citizens of the province well if they became more aware of Penobsquis circumstances so it does not happen to them.
In 2004, Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan (PCS) undertook a round of seismic testing that included an area over top of their mining operation in Penobsquis.
This area was part of the seismic testing which included the detonation of dynamite charges. There were reports of homes shaking from the blasts, and homeowners finding muddy water the next time they turned on their taps.

Residents quickly linked their lost wells and springs, and the increase in water inflow that the mine was having at the time. Officials in the Provincial Department of Environment and Local Government also believed the mine was responsible for the dry wells and springs.
While most attributed the problems to the mine, it was acknowledged that it would need to be ‘proven’.


When we lost water:

We drilled new wells
Deepened existing ones
Bathed in the brook
Hauled water from the brook for laundry
Hauled water for livestock
Hauled water for drinking and other household use
We lost expensive pumps
Had to replace taps and some appliances/washing machines due to the gritty/dirty water some of us initially experienced

While water was being delivered:
We had water tanks and a pump in our basements
We had bottled water delivered by the mine
We had to leave our homes unlocked
We had basements flooded – trucking company compensated us
We had to heat outside sheds with water tanks
We had basement windows broken
2-3 times a week mud was tracked through our homes
Some experienced rashes from the water
There was debris floating in the water
The water hoses leaked significantly. The hoses were rolled up over lawns neighbors dogs used for their bathroom. Sometimes Dog feces incrusted hoses with holes were used to provide water to the next house.
The public health inspector came, gave the truck drivers instructions to keep our water safe…but the instructions were not followed.

And anyone who is still supportive of of the Melancthon Mega Mine, the gasification DEEP plant and the Southgate shit facility, thinking your government is going to look after you and make sure nothing goes wrong...give your head a shake.
