Kingston residents shall be exposed to cancer causing uranium mining activities

by Paul Gervan

The Ministry of Northern Development and Mines deal to allow Frontenac Ventures to drill for uranium ninety kilometres north of Kingston not only ignores the concerns of The Ardoch Algonquin, as eloquently expressed by Bob Lovelace, in the Whig Standard, but it completely ignores the demands of over two million citizens of 22 Eastern Ontario municipalities, Kingstonians included, whose elected officials have endorsed a call for a moratorium on Uranium exploration.

It’s a shabby deal, the result of a flawed process, arrived at behind closed doors, benefiting only a small speculative exploration company and a few lawyers. Ignored and undermined is the environment of the Mississippi River watershed and the public who depend on it. Minister Gravelle needs to recognize that giant open pit uranium mines in pristine Frontenc county cottage country undermines tourism, undermines landowner rights, and undermines public health.
