Preamble

I have started this blog site to help me get rid of the nagging voices in my head that are crying out to be heard. I live in a small northern community that is in the heart of the biggest industrial accident waiting to happen in Canada. Our community is in the middle of Canada's biggest controversy. The Great Canadian Tar sands Development vs the health and welfare of the people living in the cesspool of toxic wastes. Many friends and family are dying a slow and agonizing death due to Cancers that are ravaging their bodies. To say that everyone I know that is dying are of an Aboriginal descent and living in the Athabasca region is wrong. Many people I know are not of aboriginal descent and have never been to Fort Chipewyan, but have worked many years in the oil sands industry.

HMMMMMMM I wonder what would happen if all Albertans called for a complete study of cancer rates in Alberta, I wonder what they would have to say? There are some people that have lived in and around oil and gas industries down south that are seriously ill with terminal cancers. What will they say if they were told the same thing we hear in Fort Chipewyan. Cancer rates are on the rise, abnormal Cancers are on the increase, and people are dying at a faster rate.

It really breaks a mothers heart to have to tell your children "I'm sorry but you can't go swimming in your local water hole because there is advisories from Health Canada not to let you swim in the Lake as it may kill you one day." That is so scary considering that I have swam in that watering hole for many years and now every little symptom they are testing me for cancer. I am 41 years old and already I have had 3 test for Cancer and am about to undergo a 4th test for yet another cancer scare. So now I am thinking 3 times lucky, is this going to be the time my luck runs out, probably but when, only time will tell.

I spend my nights by the phone and waiting for it to ring and cringing everytime it does, as it only brings bad news. First my Uncle was diagnosed with prostate cnacer in the most severe form and doesn't have long to live, and then an aunt was diagnosed with ovarian cancer of the worst kind, now a 43 year old cousin and her mother have both been diagnosed with stomach cancer. How much more worse can it get? I have friends from the Cold Lake region and it seems like everytime I call to see how things are going someone from that area is dying or have died from cancer. Everytime I turn my head there is someone else with cancer. When is it ever going to stop?

I hear in the news alot about pandemics and what not, in my opinion the pandemic is here in full force and they are not taking any prisioners.

Not even our government who are there to protect us are doing a very good job. The amount of common household products that we use on a daily basis are laced to kill us. Many products that Health Canada has approved to be sold in Canada are not that safe at all.

Why do you think the Mr. Clean icon is a big bald head man, because Mr. Clean products have a high proportionate amount of cancer causing chemicals in it. So if you use Mr. Clean products you may end up like the bald guy on the bottle.

Well I have started my blog and ramblings and the way I have been feeling about things there will be more to come.
