After reading an article published in the NWOnewswatch about 'Ignace voting on potential nuclear waste facility,' I’m surprised just how much education is needed after 14 years of consultation with NWMO and entering into the 'Learn More' education program about site selection and alleged safety and storage of used nuclear waste.
Perhaps I can provide a different approach here. Our Charter of Rights and Freedoms - emphasis on 'Fundamental Freedoms' section 2 - Freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press, and other media of communications, and section 7 - Life, liberty and security of people - give privileges to every permanent resident in Canada - with some exceptions.
The Constitutional Rights of people who do not live in Ignace are abandoned by not being allowed to vote on this issue. As stated above, contraventions are found at ss. 2 and 7 with respect to not being able to express one's opinion by expression of a vote; especially if there is a potential of harm to one's health and safety.
Residents of Ignace should also keep in mind about the inaction of our provincial and federal governments, who fail to protect the safety of all residents living near the proposed transportation routes of this toxic waste by not allowing non-residents to vote on this issue.
