This has been all over the news in Detroit the past week, but interestingly, my friend who lives in Windsor hadn't heard about it yesterday. I think the CBC has been intentionally avoiding it (and I say that with literally zero evidence to back me up). Anyway, I'm also usualy on team science with these things, but come the fuck on. Is there a larger, rockier wasteland on planet earth than the like 90% of Ontario that isn't within spitting distance of the Great Lakes? It just seems silly that they even have to debate this when the scientifically safe and publicly tenable locations seen so limitless.

Jesus, just dump it in some abandoned mine shaft in Sudbury for goodness sake. Somewhere, you know, AWAY from large bodies of water?

I can imagine that moving the waste any distance is probably a huge headache, so leaving it where it is (on the site) makes a lot of sense too.

Idunno. Is it going to affect the water quality?
