Its not a case of doing something about air pollution for it will kill us - it is killing us. The scientific evidence is accumulating and the mainstream media and governments ignor it. Why? Too much profit will be lost addressing this issue. The more people realise living in a society based on profit over human need will lead a society in only one direction, and its not advancement for the benefit of all my friends.

Question: Which mainstream political party would defend me on this issue?

Meeting time was incorrect

Based on information contained in a motion passed by regional council, an incorrect time for a public meeting involving Gord Miller, the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario, was reported in the Jan. 18 edition of The Independent & Free Press.

I just moved here from London. I think I'm moving back! This place does have bad air, and the worst part is the way it looks orange in the sky.
