#SouthBruce staff to prepare report on second #NuclearWaste repository

As runners-up in the #NWMO's first site-selection process, the municipality of South Bruce is uniquely positioned as the organization now seeks a second site to bury nuclear waste deep underground.

Greg Cowan
Published Jul 28, 2025

Excerpt: "The proposed site faced significant public opposition, including from the Protecting Our Waterways – No Nuclear Waste group. Furthermore, the #SaugeenOjibwayNation, with its traditional territory stretching from the tip of the #BrucePeninsula to south of #Goderich, announced earlier this year that it plans to issue a #moratorium on future nuclear intensification and waste projects if no progress is made on addressing nuclear legacy issues in its territory.

" 'We will enforce this moratorium by all legal and political means necessary until a just and satisfactory resolution is in place,' the letter signed by #Nawash Chief #GregNadjiwon and #Saugeen Chief #ConradRitchie stated. 'Accordingly, the Nuclear Advisory Committee has been directed to pursue the resolution of legacy issues through agreements with Ontario Power Generation (#OPG), the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (#NWMO), other private nuclear operators, as well as the federal and provincial governments.' "

SON Says Legacy Issues Not Addressed, Sets Deadline For #Nuclear Moratorium

Claire McCormack
Jan 24, 2025

#SaugeenOjibwayNation Chiefs' statement: “For many decades our land has been exploited for the production of #NuclearEnergy and storage of #RadioactiveWaste. This occurred without consultation or SON #consent. Today,our territory holds the vast majority of of #Canada’s #NuclearWaste and hosts one of the largest #nuclear facilities in the world. Even now, following the announcement by #NWMO that it will seek to build a deep geological repository (#DGR) for used fuel in the north, SON is expected to continue to host the used fuel for another 60 years without our consent and without redress while the DGR undergoes the assessment process licensing and permitting processes and construction.

"It is unacceptable that we continue to face inaction from #OPG and other members of the nuclear industry and government in addressing these injustices for the SON people. Their repeated failure to uphold commitments is an ongoing affront to SON’s rights. Our joint chiefs and council have taken a strong stance: We will not allow the exploitation of #Anishinaabekiing without a fair and just resolution.”

Walter Hill – “Geronimo: An American Legend” (1993)

Der Mythos des „edlen Wilden“ zieht sich durch die Popkultur wie ein rostiger Spalt durch rotes Gestein. In diesem Western von Walter Hill sehen wir, was vor 30 Jahren noch vom kolonialen Blick auf indigene Widerstandskämpfer:innen übrig war, auch wenn Hollywood sich redlich Mühe gab. Kevin Costner hat schließlich schon drei Jahre zuvor bewiesen, dass der Genozid an Native Americans auch mit orchestraler Melancholie in Szene gesetzt werden kann. Hill zog nach – mit beeindruckenden Bildern, anklagendem Ton und – einem weißen Erzähler. (ZDFneo, Wh)

At #CapeHatteras National Seashore in #NorthCarolina, the #Trump admin is set to review, & possibly remove or alter, signs about how #ClimateChange is causing #SeaLevels to rise.

At #Independence National Historical Park in #Philadelphia, the admin will soon decide whether to take down exhibits on the brutality of #slavery.

And at Castillo de San Marcos National Monument in #Florida, Trump ofcls are scrutinizing language about the imprisonment of #NativeAmericans inside the Spanish fortress.

Trump just desperately pulled the race card in his latest DESPERATE attempt tp take cover from his exploding #EpsteinCover-up scandal! The fact that he had to make up #NativeAmericans who WANT the #WashingtonCommanders to reclaim the "Redskins"? Shows he's a RACIST pedophile youtu.be/NIZfAG2G86I?...
