The most troubling part of this story is that the regulator, CNSC has once again failed in their responsibility to provide oversight. They are useless stop nuclear waste.com Toxic sewage discharged at Chalk River nuclear lab | CBC News cbc.ca/news/indigenou…

LIVE from the Parliamentary Press Gallery: First Nations gather in Ottawa concerned about nuclear waste and its imposition on Indigenous homelands without consent cpac.ca/headline-polit…

If you missed yesterday's press conference on stopping the radioactive waste dump at #ChalkRiver, view it here. Hear from Kebaowek and Kitigan Zibi First Nations' Chiefs, @ElizabethMay, @seblemire (Bloc), Ole Hendrickson of Concerned Citizens. fb.watch/qd-TA-Zvkp/ #KichiSibi

Thank you to Chiefs @LanceHaymond, @DylanWhiteduck and everyone who rallied on Parliament Hill yesterday to call on the @JustinTrudeau government to halt a massive #radioactivewaste dump next to the #KichiSibi #OttawaRiver. Indeed - actions speak louder than words. #WaterIsLife

Rally 1 pm Wed. on Parliament Hill to support Algonquin #FirstNations, stop #radioactivewaste dump at Chalk River & protect #KichiSibi. The govt of Canada must respect #UNDRIP - FN do not consent! It's up to feds to cancel this! fb.me/e/3lxTX8jIC @JonathanWNV @s_guilbeault

Algonquins of Barriere Lake do not consent to the radioactive waste dump the fed. govt is building upstream on the Ottawa River: "We will not rest until our rights are respected and the biodiversity of the Kichi Sibi lands and waters...are protected. #FPIC concernedcitizens.net/2024/01/13/pre…

Décision décevante pour #Gatineau. Soulève des préoccupations cruciales quant à la sécurité d'eau potable de millions de résidents. Nous continuerons à insister pour des mesures adéquates afin de minimiser les risques pour nos citoyens le long de la rivière des Outaouais. #polmun

One correction to your excellent story. CNL loves to say waste dump will hold contaminated clothing and rags. Actually, its MILLION tons will include 100+ radioactive buildings and soil from operating nuclear reactors and labs for 70 years nationalobserver.com/2024/01/09/new… @NatObserver

Green light today to a #radioactive #waste dump next to the #OttawaRiver is hard to believe, since 10 #Algonquin Nations did not consent. The #federal government will be funding this dump with your tax dollars! @CanEnvLawAssn comments. cela.ca/media-release-… #ottnews

@MargaretAtwood Thank you so much! Ten of 11 Algonquin nations do not give consent to this million-ton radioactive dump. Yet it could be approved and paid for by the feds. What gets into the Ottawa River flows into the St. Lawrence - millions of people's water source to be at risk in perpetuity.

Um, why is anyone even thinking of disposing of nuclear waste close to the surface and near a river system that provides drinking water to millions? And on Indigenous land, without informed consent? Who thought this one up? ??? Petition e-4676 - Petitions ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/P…

Link to the petition, calling to respect free, prior and informed consent of Indigenous peoples, and for an international review of the dangerous plan to pile radioactive waste above ground near the Ottawa River: ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/P…

Thank you Margaret Atwood! We know you care about Canada's rivers and lands. Everyone please sign this petition by Wed. (Jan 10) at 2 pm, calling on the federal government to not license a giant nuclear waste dump next to the Ottawa River and to respect First Nations & UNDRIP.

TY Chief @LanceHaymond & #Algonquin #FirstNations for protecting the #sacredKichiSibi #OttawaRiver for all who live here and drink its waters. Listen @cbcallinaday cbc.ca/listen/live-ra… @MargaretAtwood @DylanWhiteduck @CanadiansOrg @SierraClubCan #nuclearwaste #FPIC #UNDRIP

This was momentous. Two Chiefs and two Grand Chiefs representing 10 out of 11 #Algonquin #FirstNations stating unequivocally they do not consent to the proposed #radioactive waste dump near the #OttawaRiver at Chalk River Laboratories. #ottnews

MPs from 4 parties & citizens from 120+ groups have concerns about federal government's push for "small modular reactors". Read here: New nuclear tech not the answer to Canada’s climate woes, MPs say #renewables @CredNb @SierraClubCan @CanEnvLawAssn nationalobserver.com/2023/04/26/new…

“New nuclear is already far more expensive than proven renewable energy sources like wind and solar." - Susan O’Donnell, Professor & Member of the Coalition for Responsible Energy Development [Source: @nationalpost] #cdnpoli #climatenews ow.ly/zTui50NUBVw

Every energy form has pros/cons. #RenewableEnergy has far more pros, manageable cons. Find out the real bottom line about #nuclear, baseload energy needs, plutonium and technologies like sodium-cooled reactors. In Ottawa at 91A 4th Ave tonight or listen online. #ClimateAction

TY @ElizabethMay @mariosimardbq @alexboulerice and @JenicaAtwin for speaking out on risks of 🇨🇦 plans to expand #nuclear energy coast to coast with new, untried reactors. Groups call SMRs a 'dirty, dangerous distraction' from #climateaction. #cdnpoli @susanodo_NB @NoNukeBailouts

Excellent coverage of press conference today where 4 MPs voiced their concerns about federal plans to build up nuclear energy in Canada and build so-called "small modular reactors" in many communities.

Merci @alexboulerice et les trois autres députés courageux qui se sont joints à nous aujourd'hui. Les générations futures vous remercieront.
