To ALL whom it may concern:

 

The answer is still NO! For over 60, yes sixty years, over 4 generations, the Rural Unincorporated Townships of Northwestern Ontario have continued with the same answer to Nuclear Waste,  year after year, decade after decade, for well over half a century, the answer is NO. NO to storing nuclear waste here in Northwestern Ontario, how can the little town of Ignace of only 1200 Taxpayers seem to have ALL the power and voting to decide for ALL of Northwestern Ontario Taxpayers, nature and our water shed "IF", Nuclear Waste should dribbled their diarrhea along 900 hundred kilometers contaminating everything along the way to Northwestern Ontario. How ludicrous to do.

When does NO mean NO? We want an answer to this question?

Southern Ontario has everything, fire departments, local police, city police, O.P.P., R.C.M.P, many local security companies, many hospitals and with your Nuclear "professionals" on hand at a moments notice. All at your becking, responding faster than "IF" your toxic waste with no expiry date was shipped up here?

Keep the contaminate contained, first rule, don't be dragging it anywhere and making MORE of a mess? Common sense, right?

Keep it where it is, contained?  Build with their "special materials" on site, keep it in ONE AREA!!!

All the professionals are close at had with all the emergency services at a moments notice but not here in Northwestern Ontario which has absoultely nothing compared to Southern Ontario. Never mind how dangerous the highways are?

Time is always of the essence, keep it where you people can respond quickly with all your services close at hand, we do not have that here in Northwestern Ontario. 

Thunder Bay use to have 4 hospitals, now it has a dinky Regional Science Center which is can hardly service the people in Northwestern Ontario now. And what about our Rural Emergency services which have been taken or the narrow laned Provincial Highways with questionable shoulders if any? 

Another huge question for all, is why is Nuclear Waste or you not holding events or meetings regularly within the Rural Unincorporated Townships of Northwestern Ontario the past 60 year and only meet with Municipal, in Municipalities? Seems like you are discriminating the Rural Unincorported Townships and Taxpayers? 

Is Nuclear Waste implying the Rural Unincorporated Taxpayers do not get a voice and vote?

Why is Nuclear Waste not holding meeting withing the Rural Unicorporated Communities, throughout the decades and now?

Is this "study" implying none of you ever have to come visit our Rural Unincorporated Communities or meet and discuss our concerns and issues the past 60 years?

Would LOVE to meet with you at the Kaministikwia Community Center, Nuclear Waste does not seem to want to, will you?

Again the answer is and remains NO to storing Nuclear Waste in Northwestern Ontario.

Any time you want to book the hall, we will meet, ask Nuclear Waste, we have been hounding them for regular events and meets for 60 years? Nuclear Waste does not seem to want to meet regularly with us because we are answering NO, that is not a good reason to not hold regular meeting and events with Rural Unincorporated Taxpayers. 

And don't forget the petition for the 1980's , GREEN, CLEAN AND PRISTINE, that is what our Grandparents and Parents said to Nuclear Waste, while asking for regular meetings and events.

How is this not considered harassement, bullying and intimidation? Wow, what money Nuclear Waste has to hold meeting (but rarely with the Rural Unincorporated Townships) for over 60 years, how is this not an act of intimidating? 

Our answer is and remains NO! NO storing Nuclear Waste in Northwestern Ontario when Southern Ontario has ALL THE SERVICES!!!

Come talk and actually MEET with ALL the people/Taxpayers of Northwestern Ontario, just not the selected few in Municipal.

NO, the answer is and will always be NO!!!
