The following excerpt is from a Feb. 28 CBC news story, click here for the whole story

"Ottawa city council is urging Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty to temporarily ban uranium prospecting, exploration and mining in eastern Ontario and the Ottawa River watershed.

The council voted 18-1 Wednesday in favour of a motion calling on the province to impose the moratorium immediately and to keep it in effect until:

• All environmental and health issues related to uranium mining are "resolved."
• There are settlement plans for all related aboriginal land claims.

The same motion calls on the province to do a public review of its 1990 Mining Act."

I hope this will remind us that there are options and opportunities to say "no".

This is NOT a DONE DEAL!

Here is some additional information on the people uniting against Uranium mining in Canada:
