GORDON MCGUINTY AND MIKE HARRIS CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED.
WE ARE STILL READY AND WILLING TO PROTECT OUR WATERSHED

WE ARE WINNING THE BATTLE. TORONTO DECLINED TO FIGHT US ANY LONGER AND GORDON MCGUINTY IS ON HIS LAST TOXIC BREATHS, TRYING TO FIND CITIES AND TOWNS STUPID ENOUGH TO PLAY HIS REFUSE FOR PROFIT GAMES. RUMOR HAS IT THAT EVEN MIKE HARRIS IS PULLING HIS SUPPORT FROM THE DEAL AS HE REALIZES SUPPORTING IT WOULD BE POLITICAL SUICIDE. WE'LL BELIEVE THAT WHEN WE SEE IT THOUGH

OUR PRECIOUS WATERSHED HAS BEEN DEFENDED FROM THOSE WHO WISHED TO PROFIT FROM CONTAMINATING IT. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ADAMS MINE LOOKS LIKE, WE HAVE A PHOTOGRAPH OF IT FOR YOU BELOW. NOTICE HOW IT IS NOT FULL? OF COURSE NOT, THE PIT LEAKS



IT HAS BEEN AN INCREDIBLE JOURNEY AND EACH OF US THAT CONTRIBUTED SHOULD FEEL A GREAT SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT. WE HAVE SAVED TEMISKAMING'S WATER FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS, DESPITE SOME VERY POWERFUL ADVERSARIES.

THE SUMMER/FALL OF 2000 WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN IN TEMISKAMING AND I'M SURE IN TORONTO. THE STENCH OF GARBAGE, DIRTY DEALS AND DIRTY GOVERNMENT FILLED THE AIR AND THE TOPIC OF CONVERSATION COUNTRY WIDE.

A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE STOOD UP AND SAID NO, THIS IS NOT RIGHT!!
FROM THEIR DETERMINATION AND DOGGEDNESS GREW A MOVEMENT THAT COULD NOT BE DENIED.
ORDINARY PEOPLE BANNED TOGETHER AND FOUGHT SOME OF THE BIGGEST, DIRTIEST AND RICHEST INTEREST GROUPS AND WON.

ORDINARY PEOPLE NOT ONLY FOUGHT TORONTO CITY HALL AND WON; BUT ORDINARY PEOPLE TOOK ON MIKE HARRIS AND HIS HATED GOVERNMENT AND WON. ORDINARY PEOPLE TOOK ON WASTE MANAGEMENT INC. AND ITS BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND WON.

SMELLY MELLY EMERGED FROM THE BATTLE AS OUR MASCOT AND INSPIRATION. HE IS A TRUE WORK OF ART THAT CAME FROM THE IMAGINATION OF OUR BELOVED MR. MOOSE, TO REALITY THANKS TO THE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS OF TDSS. TAKE A MOMENT TO APPRECIATE THIS WONDERFUL CREATION.



THE LESSONS HAVE BEEN LEARNED. OUR ENVIRONMENT IS TOO PRECIOUS TO BE CONTAMINATED. OUR BELOVED NORTH WILL NOT BE TURNED INTO A VAST WASTELAND. NORTHERN PRIDE STANDS TALL KNOWING THAT BEING A GARBAGE DUMP IS NOT THE LEGACY WE WILL LEAVE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.
