As part of ongoing efforts to clean up the Boat Harbour effluent disaster, a new pipeline has been installed. The pulp and paper effluent after going through the treatment lagoon eventually ends up in the Northumberland Strait.

The author criticises the government for what it did then, but are governments any better now? They still take a company estimate of the number of jobs, multiply it by $xxx and come up with re-election plans. The environment will continue to come last until they accept that our planet can't take the way we treat it, anymore.

Some places make mistakes and learn from them, in Newfoundland however we take those past mistakes and amplify them to a new level such as the foolishness of Vale using ponds for poison storage. We shouldn't be lowering ourselves to this point, but once again we get held ransom by the promise of a few jobs. The work will be done and we will be left with yet another toxic area which we will be responsible for cleaning up, or should I say burying because nothing actually gets cleaned up in NL, it just gets put out of sight. Thank you Danny Williams, its nice to see the back of your head.
