Some stats for you guys on Sarnia's Chemical Valley.

http://www.ecojustice.ca/media-centr...valley-exposed

Accounts for more than 40% of Canada's total chemical industry

There are 62 industrial facilities within 25 kilometres of the Aamjiwnaang reserve and city of Sarnia, including 46 NPRI facilities


http://www.mesothel.com/asbestos-can...nada/dying.htm

For men living in the community, the overall cancer rate was about 34 per cent higher than the provincial average, the lung-cancer rate 50 per cent higher, the mesothelioma rate five times higher and the asbestosis rate nine times higher.


SARNIA TRANSIT even has a special bus route called the "Chemical Valley Special". Would you not love to ride that everyday
