Granted, when you read the article it talks about these cities as having been low on water before and the changes are likely they will face shortages in the future, so the headline is misleading (Minebuster has never claimed to be unbiased or misleading when making a point!!):

Which begs me to ask the question. If it isn't unafforable to run an oil pipeline from Canada to Texas, it would seem to be a drop in the bucket (bad pun I know) to run a pipeline from Canada for water.
I wonder if there is any rich rich corporation who has about 600 million litres of water a day which they need to manage?
I wonder if they would manage to make it disappear on a pipeline out of the country?
Nah, our government is on guard for us to protect our natural resources, right?
I have been thinking and saying this very thing to everyone whom I speak to about the quarry. Why would you waste the water by trying to "manage it" and pump it back into the ground? Sell it to the States as it will be more valuable than the limestone. There is a huge article on this very topic of enormous US water shortages in the October 2011 United Church Observer. That old railway bed would make the perfect conduit for a water pipeline south.
ReplyDeleteHighland has lied about it's intentions from day 1. It would not be out of character for them to drop a bomb shell regarding water use, on the contrary it would be consistent with their practices thus far. Once they get their sticky little fingers on that permit from the MNR they can do what the hell they like with that water, chapter 11 Nafta agreement. Be very, very afraid, we don't know the half of it and as for our idiotic government, well I'd better stop there or the censorship board will be all over me.
ReplyDeleteSo your saying that the water will be contaminated and your saying that the water is going to be shipped off to the States. Which is it? Or are you saying they will be selling contaminated water to the States. Doesn't sound like you know what you're talking about just throwing a lot of shit at the wall.
