Every time it rains in Toronto our sewers overflow into Lake Ontario. We are drifting toward a dangerous future, but art might just be the thing that saves us. Here is why the Swim Drink Fish Art for Water gala matters now more than ever: open.substack.com/pub/waterkeepe…

Polluters pay. ArcelorMittal Exploitation Minière Canada hit with a record-breaking $100 MILLION fine for illegally dumping toxic, acidic & high-metal effluents into Quebec waterways. The historic fine will help fund environmental restoration projects. canada.ca/en/environment…

54 years today since Pierre Trudeau & Richard Nixon launched the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. Despite home to voters who decide elections, have not seen this level of bilateral leadership on watershed since. Need to bring that same energy back to the water. @LOWaterkeeper

A couple billion. That’s the price tag on the massive effort to fix a century of nuclear waste in on Lake Ontario’s North Shore. But the cost of silencing a debate about the future is much higher. open.substack.com/pub/waterkeepe…

@Fortgoose @CanadianWater @ONgov @porthopeontario @waterkeepermark You’re right. Years ago, I did share a visualization that turned out to be inaccurate. I wasn't as diligent with fact-checking, as I am now. That is why I value transparency & public trust so much today—I've learned firsthand how easy it is to get it wrong.

Considering deep history of Great Lakes/St Lawrence, mixed with modern science, the proposals for Great Lakes nuclear expansion & lake-filling for airports, are steps backward. Biinaagami suggests prosperity isn’t possible when sacrificing clean water. @waterkeepermark/note/p-192787168?r=1w2090&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@waterkeeperma

@CanadianWater @swimguide @ONgov @porthopeontario @waterkeepermark Reminder re. Mark. He took a wave height map of the Pacific ocean that was falsely manipulated to look like a radiologic map during the Fukushima incident. He shared it widely. When this error was flagged to him, he blocks the person sharing the information. Not to be trusted.

Troubled Lake Erie is being transformed into a vast water research facility - For long a dumping ground for pollutants, the Great Lake is being seeded with sensor buoys to make it the world’s largest digitally connected body of freshwater theguardian.com/environment/20…
