We here in Canada have the cleanest Groundwater ever identified and our government has allowed 2 gravel companies to aggressively mine the upland region that recharges it. Also gave them permission to pump with a Permit to Take Water over 6 million litres a day. The Cleanes Groundwater ever tested! Another company has filed for a similar permit. Area residents wells are having issues as a result. Government sides with Business for a few jobs when we would rather have excellent water. Mother Natures gift for free and we are going to fuck it up. Talk about Shit Show. Our environmental policies are full of holes. http://aware-simcoe.ca/2021/05/this-is-water-that-needs-to-be-treated-differently/

At a recent presentation to Tiny Township Council (Ontario Canada), Powell, Shotyk and two leading hydrogeologists – John Cherry of the University of Waterloo and Ian Clark of the University of Ottawa – raised the alarm about contaminants found in some of their test samples.

Expansion of aggregate extraction would be a crime against future generations, against our grandchildren and beyond,” Cherry told Tiny councillors at the April 20, 2021 meeting. “There are no shades of grey on this. This is a matter of right versus wrong.”
