A farm town? Where the land is fertile? We're going to put a nuclear dump in fertile, food-growing land? Sounds fucking cool, Canada ....sounds real cool
It’s to be stored in bedrock more than half a kilometre down, sealed in an impermeable polymer.
It’s not perfect, but it’s a hell of a lot better than oil/gas which store their waste in your lungs.
Nearly every old gas station leaves behind a polluted property that someone else will be on the hook for if they want the land.
The paving over of gta farm land is worse, creates a much bigger footprint
I don't care about worse... putting a nuclear dump in fertile land is stupid.. put it in the far Northwest Territories or something where there's no people or you know.. farmland that we could use for food growing instead of for nuclear dumps.
Unfortunately the North West Territories aren’t part of Ontario
They have their own problems... Like a former gold mine with enough arsenic to poison every man, woman, and child on earth -- that they're struggling to keep frozen (i.e. 'safe') due to climate change.
Hope this will put you at ease

I mean we like paving over our farmland for strip malls and SFH subdivisions as well so it's not a new thing for us to disrepsect our limited supply of farmland. Who needs food security anyway?
