This is really getting off topic but read "Well of Lies" for the real story behind Walkerton. The water was not treated properly even though a chlorination system was in the public works building....but not installed because the man responsible did not believe chlorination did anything. This was just one step in a chain of incompetence and negligence that led to the tragedy at Walkerton.

Make it 11....I'm there to the bitter end. It would be just plain stupid to sell now because it is already considered lost money.

And now our hydro rates are going up because we, as good energy-conserving citizens did our part to reduce hydro consumption...thus creating a budget shortfall that Hydro is allowed to recoup by raising rates. Talk about a Catch-22! Wynne appeared to have so much to offer when she was first elected. Now she has turned out to be just another disappointment...no different then Uncle Dalton or any of the previous Harris-ites. I am thoroughly pi$$ed off!

When I got involved in NOT 8 years ago' I bought wine by the 750 ml bottle, one bottle at a time. Two years later, I started buying it in the litre bottle. Today, I picked up another case as Noront drops almost 10 percent again. Am I happy about the lack of positive government involvement in the Ring Of Fire??? Hell no!! But it is what it is and we lowly retail shareholders have dick-all to say about it. Whatever...the wine is good and I hope one day to learn once again how to stand and pee like the big dogs. This trip has been a very emasculating experience. Just sayin'......

...Toxic Bob? Remember him of Voisey's Bay fame, his youthful drug bust aside? I'll bet dollars to donuts Robert Friedland could make Noront fly to the moon...and back. Sure, he's a showman, but a successful one with an estimated net worth of in excess of $2 BILLION. IMHO, Noront has been lacking for years in any kind of promotional pizzazz. Remember, he was the guy who engineered the $3.1 billion sale of Voisey's Bay to Inco. If only......

Did I miss something here? I have seen no information that says NOT is drilling (let alone using June) only that they are in the second phase of investigating promising targets. If you have verified information about actual drilling please share it.
