The DGR (deep geological repository) hosting agreement puts the NWMO (Nuclear Waste Management Organization) in charge of South Bruce’s future. Consider this scenario. You are a farmer and have leased, in perpetuity, a portion of your acreage to a company that gets to do whatever it wants, for as long as it wants, on a […]

In the upcoming South Bruce referendum, we the electorate will have the unprecedented right to decide for generations to come the destiny of our communities. And what vital information have we been given to make such an important decision? Biased marketing under the guise of safety and with the promise of prosperity. To date, over […]
The following is a letter sent to Kincardine council Members of council, I would like to comment on the process used for “reimagining” Victoria Park. Victoria Park has been in place for well over a century. It is an historical area of town that is “olde world” rather than modern. Looking at pictures in the […]

Last month, a beautiful mailing extolling the benefits that could be a part of hosting Canada’s nuclear waste facility arrived in South Bruce residents’ mailboxes. Do these glossy commitments line up with the hosting agreement’s legal contract? According to the brochure, the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) will facilitate project-related employment opportunities for local residents […]

I would like to commend the Municipality of Kincardine council for their recent decision to decommission the Secord monument. By thoughtfully addressing concerns surrounding the monument’s historical significance, the council has demonstrated leadership that places the dignity and lived experiences of marginalized residents at the forefront. This decision is a necessary and courageous step toward […]
Is Canada and the world waiting to know if Teeswater or Ignace, Ont. is the location for a deep geological depository (DGR) for nuclear waste? Do people even know or care where these locations are? Well, South Bruce voting residents (not all residents are voting residents) had better care because you will have a vote […]

“Learn more” and “misinformation” — The NWMO and promoters of the proposed DGR for the burial of high-level radioactive waste seem to favour these phrases. Whenever an organization or individual raises concerns with the proposed project, the NWMO is quick to assure the concerned that they have nothing to fear; that they just need to […]

Are farmers, farmland and small communities being “targeted” by elected officials in municipal/regional councils, provincial and federal government and by big organizations? Is it because this only disrupts the lives and livelihoods of a very few people, so that won’t be a big issue? Really? The lives and livelihoods of a few people, often generational […]
Would decisions be different if they were the ones expected to make sacrifices? Back in January 2021, the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) was claiming they had deep roots in agriculture because one of their summer students had grown up on a farm. Their most recent campaign proclaims they support agriculture because an employee was […]
In response to the letter submitted by Christina Wahi (March 28, 2024 – Kincardine News): 1) What are the perspectives of descendants of those impacted by slavery, in addition to the impact on those who believe that if you take an oath to save lives, your doing so should not be overlooked regardless of the […]
Re: Displacement of downtown Secord Monument I have responded to the Municipality’s online “engagement process” regarding the Secord Monument. My feedback is to return the monument to a place of prominence within the former town. All historical accounts of Dr. (Solomon) Secord’s life and professional career state that he was a dedicated, caring physician and […]
