It's really about damn time.

I've actually been a part of this movement, and was part of the protester blockade at the Brady Landfill last summer.

I am good friends with the artist who's red dress painting was vandalized in an act of hate.

I have read the AMC feasibility study and it is an absolute joke of pure PORK. If you want to see fraud, download the AMC feasibility study and notice how they have budgeted things like $3,000 per day x 365 days for a site manager.

$40M is more than what is required, to my mind.

The first thing that struck my mind. Maybe they're all about finding the victims, but while they're there, maybe they will also remove some chemical buildup or sanitize the area. I mean they will have to anyway, at some point, but this way they don't have to take political responsibility for it, because it's all a goodwill joint operation between states in order to find those poor missing people that they were responsible for killing in the first place, not the ecological disaster they created there in the first place just to cash the money that would otherwise have gotten spent on disposing properly of chemical waste or whatever.

This is just my bleak cynical look at it, I have no evidence or proof that this is taking place, only life long experience of how it always plays out. I am not from Canada and have not read much about this particular case- just once again I smell that same distinct odor of more shit being hid beneath the surface.

E1: $90M??!?! Holy shit are they building a mine or something?

E2: "We understand the desire to leave no stone unturned," said a statement attributed to Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson and Indigenous Reconciliation and Northern Relations Minister Eileen Clarke.

"However, the search process described in the report is complex, and comes with long-term human health and safety concerns that simply cannot be ignored."

I wonder what those health risks are. I wonder what they really buried down there together with those victims that will take $90M to ~~clean up~~ sift through for evidence. Something is so very fucking sus here.
