Below is the phone preamble that is missing from the above link
Do you think this might sway the vote of the undecided or uniformed?

Preamble

"The Kincardine council has expressed its support for the long-term management of low-level and intermediate-level nuclear waste in a deep geologic repository to be owned and operated by Ontario Power Generation (OPG) at the Western Waste Management Facility located at the Bruce site.

"Council's decision was based on the following key points: it provides the highest level of safety of any option; there will be a rigorous environmental assessment and Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission regulatory process that includes opportunities for public input before construction is approved; the deep geologic repository will permanently isolate the low-level and intermediate-level waste stream, much of which is already stored on site; it provides significant economic benefit to the residents of the municipality; and no high-level waste or used nuclear fuel would be allowed in the facility."

"In summary, council believes it is important to solicit the views of residents."

Then the Question

Do you support the establishment of a facility for the long-term management of low and intermediate level waste at the Western Waste Management Facility?

Politics is the art of preventing citizens from becoming involved with what is their own business.
