However, the Flat Earth Society has no problem in boosting their champion of 'Schitz Creek' fame to head up the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority's Board of Directors.
.
That's Right! In this country we boost a person to Conservation Board Chair who is capable in 'not divulging' the fact that they participated in an organization that allowed raw sewage to silently inundate the beautiful Chedoke Creek to the tune of a foot-deep sludge of human excrement over a period of years. https://www.chch.com/premier-doug-ford-criticizes-hamilton-council-over-sewage-spill-secret/Worse, Flat Earth Society accepts promoting a 'cover-up artist' in the form of a political Creek polluter to head up a Conservation Authority Board of Directors as preferable to an Chair who refuses to accept their particular philosophy.So much for the 'defend to the death quote'! https://npca.ca/our-voice/post/annual-general-meeting
Its understandable that the new Chair of the NPCA Board of Directors does not want to dwell on her past even though those concerned with conservation fully understand that this new Chair of the 'Conservation Board' keeping silent regarding raw sewage dumping into our waterways fits perfectly with the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority's disgusting history. https://newsalertniagara.blogspot.com/2019/12/repeated-investigations-npca-still.html

Niagara Regime's partner the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority bringing more disrepute in the form of promoting a Board Chair (Only Choice) who covered up the dumping of Raw Sewage into our waterways.
PS Lets hope the Niagara Regimes Councilors get to see this Article
Editorial didn't support democracy
What sanctimonious hypocrisy.
This newspaper has continued to
praise this new Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority board for the past
year and more, including the period David Bylsma has been chair, and promoted
it as a new beginning for NPCA.
This without a shred of evidence
this new board is any more transparent than those before or any evidence they
are safeguarding the millions of tax dollars they continue to spend any better
than previous administrations.
The survey your newspaper
conducted was a sham and did not show any credible evidence any majority of
board members believed Bylsma should be summarily rejected because of his
personal views. You didn't even pretend to show it did.
What is not democratic is to
allow the opinions of two local activists, who do not represent the views of
all Niagara residents, dictate that a democratically appointed board chair
should be rejected because he refused to renounce his personal beliefs and
instead, accept theirs.
As one of the most alleged,
influential sources of independent news in Niagara, your editorial does not
support democracy. The views of a majority are not necessarily the right views,
but as a news source you do not have any right to claim 'democracy' as a
rationale to support activists even if you believe in their causes.

I will weigh in here on some of the points stated above.
ReplyDeleteIs the earth flat? Well depending on where you are standing in the smaller sphere of things possibly it is.
As for climate change I have great difficulty accepting that man is responsible for it. Too many other factors present themselves that leave more questions. Until recently forest fires and volcanoes have never been included in CO2 emissions, however recently on MSN the fires in Australia have equalled their countries output, so simply speaking they cannot meet the Paris Accord requirements. Even if everyone on the continent were dead, they are not going to get there and there is no saying even if they did meet the requirements that would have any impact.
The sewage spill or should I say dumping by the City of Hamilton currently after 4 years and 4 billion litres of raw poop being put into Lake Ontario has no impact on the water quality. If it had then the dumping would have been traced back to the source long before 4 years and 4 billion litres of poop were dumped in the Lake Ontario. That being said, lord help you if you wash your car and let a little bit of soap entre a storm drain. Is the earth flat, well we say no. Is climate change man made, well I need a little more proof that what I am doing has any real impact. I still cannot figure out how by paying 5 cents a litre on fuel I will save the planet from all of this doom and gloom, the way I look at it, the more fuel I use the more I will spend and the sooner the planet will be saved, I cannot figure this out. So I applaud those that ask questions and do not take everything that is being said as gospel truth. Maybe the planet is not flat, but maybe the doom and gloom about so called man made climate change isn't as bad as what a few people are saying.
