But it is highly divisive among communities affected, so Aglukkaq merely put the decision off until December, after the election.

OPG hopes to abandon ON's nuclear waste under the shore of Lake Huron. But there is a better way - "rolling stewardship" - above ground, monitored, and retrievable, with a changing of the gaurd every generation.

☢ Extended deadline called ‘political posturing <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=8d7512ef0d&e=45743fde61> ’ Nuclear-waste disposal near the Great Lakes has been a political hot potato for months and now it’s been dropped into the upcoming federal election. Rather than decide for or against a plan to build an underground vault for low- and mid-level waste near Kincardine’s Bruce Nuclear power plant, Federal Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq has extended the deadline to Sept. 1 for commenting on a recommendation that the project go ahead. That means the matter would be decided after the fall federal election, not before it.
