Since the 1950s, nuclear power has commanded immense taxpayer and customer subsidies based on promises of economic and environmental benefits. More subsidies follow.

This left a legacy of dirty water, leftover toxic waste and health problems such as lung cancer and developmental delays for children in many Western tribes.

This is the same nuke waste dump that Ontario modelled to bury our nuke waste along the shore of Lake Huron (Kincardine).

These liquid shipments have never been done before in (Canada or) the U.S., and we’re very concerned about crashes, fires and terrorist attacks. They’re mobile Chernobyls on steroids. They’ve taken waste transport to another level of risk.”  <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=99e4002854&e=45743fde61> Nuclear waste could be trucked through Niagara.

In an amazing diplomatic volte-face, the Canadian government last week in Geneva voted against starting, in 2017, negotiations to ban nuclear weapons. The government turned its back on an important nuclear disarmament initiative and sided with the nuclear weapons states that want to keep and modernize their nuclear arsenals for the rest of the 21st century.

Ontario

☢ Focus on Cornwall, ON Electric Rates <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=d16e00d5d2&e=45743fde61>  Cornwall ON is negotiating a long-term electricity deal with Quebec to give their residents much lower rates then the rest of ON gets. Ontario should do likewise, import QC's excess water power rather than rebuild our aging nuclear fleet.

☢ WMDs in the west end of Toronto? <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=bc617a926c&e=45743fde61>  After failed community attempts to shut it down, GE's uranium pellet plant on Lansdowne, Toronto has just been bought by U.S.-based nuclear weapons manufacturer BWX Technologies.
