One Response to “Uranium Mining in Ardoch & Sharbot Lake”
Devin Monroe said on Oct 29 08
I am watching this film as I am writing this message. It’s only half way finished and I am completely outraged. The Governments continued disrespect for native peoples and of our shared environment is so ridiculous.. there are no word that I can use to express this. I also cannot believe that Ontario Power would still continue to advertise nuclear power as “clean” and that The environmental impacts at Elliot Lake Ontario are not more widely known! As well as the fact that the official website of Elliot Lake advertises that it’s “clean modern city” (http://www.cityofelliotlake.com/en/) when this radiation is so long lasting… I knew that harm this uranium mine near sharbot lake might cause and never would support it … but I had not known about canada’s history in uranium mine problems. THis only makes me even more outraged.
