Transcript

In Toxic Trespass, intrepid filmmaker Barri Cohen launches an investigation into the effects of the chemical soup around us. She starts with her 10-year-old daughter, whose blood carries carcinogens like benzene and the long-banned DDT. Then, Cohen heads out to Windsor and Sarnia: Canadian toxic hotspots, with startling clusters of deadly diseases. Here, everyone seems to know children who have suffered respiratory illnesses, leukemia, brain tumours and other illnesses. And on the Native reserve of Aamjiwnaang, ringed by Sarnia's "chemical valley," the film reveals a startling birth rate problem that officials just can't ignore. Cohen journeys into toxic nightmares all too common in industrialized countries. She meets passionate activists working for positive change, along with doctors and scientists who see evidence of links between environmental pollution and health problems. And she learns how quickly barriers can go up when anyone tries to even ask questions about the connection betweeen toxins and serious health problems. Perhaps most appalling - and funny, in their own twisted way - are the roadblocks Cohen encounters when she tries to get information from federal officials. One tells her his department is "planning to discuss the plans." This moving documentary is empowering and leavened with wry humour. Carried by Cohen's passion for truth and her disarming openness, it is essential viewing for anyone concerned about the effects of pollutants on our - and our children's - very DNA. Toxic Trespass is accompanied by a comprehensive guidebook for educators, activists and concerned citizens, produced by the Women's Healthy Environment Network

-
THIS MORNING WE\'RE RELEASING

00:00:10.709 --> 00:00:11.875
-
THE DISTURBING RESULTS OF OUR

00:00:11.876 --> 00:00:12.792
-
GROUND-BREAKING STUDY, \"POLLUTED

00:00:12.793 --> 00:00:14.998
-
CHILDREN - TOXIC NATION.\"

00:00:14.999 --> 00:00:16.374
-
ALL THE KIDS IT TESTED HAVE

00:00:16.375 --> 00:00:16.999
-
DANGEROUS INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.208
-
IN THEIR BODIES.

00:00:20.209 --> 00:00:21.500
-
HELLO. MY NAME IS ADA AND I\'M

00:00:21.501 --> 00:00:29.501
-
TEN YEARS OLD. I AM POLLUTED.

00:00:32.042 --> 00:00:32.999
-
AND SADLY, THERE\'S NOTHING

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:39.249
-
THAT I CAN DO TO STOP IT.

00:00:39.250 --> 00:00:40.998
-
THE POLLUTION IS NOW SO BAD

00:00:40.999 --> 00:00:42.374
-
IN OUR COUNTRY THAT THE BODIES

00:00:42.375 --> 00:00:43.625
-
OF OUR CHILDREN HAVE HIGHER

00:00:43.626 --> 00:00:44.917
-
LEVELS OF POLLUTION THAN THEIR

00:00:44.918 --> 00:00:47.249
-
PARENTS.

00:00:47.250 --> 00:00:49.166
-
MANY OF THE CHEMICALS THAT THESE

00:00:49.167 --> 00:00:50.998
-
FOLKS HAVE BEEN TESTED POSITIVE

00:00:50.999 --> 00:00:51.999
-
FOR ARE ACTUALLY INCREASINGLY

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:53.998
-
ILLEGAL IN THE REST OF THE

00:00:53.999 --> 00:00:56.500
-
WORLD.

00:00:56.501 --> 00:00:57.998
-
FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, I WANT

00:00:57.999 --> 00:00:58.999
-
THE GOVERNMENT TO DO SOMETHING

00:00:58.999 --> 00:00:59.999
-
ABOUT IT BECAUSE I DON\'T WANT TO

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:01.082
-
HAVE TO LIVE MY LIFE WITH

00:01:01.083 --> 00:01:09.083
-
CHEMICALS INSIDE MY BODY.

00:01:15.667 --> 00:01:17.416
-
THERE\'S MY DAUGHTER OVER TEN

00:01:17.417 --> 00:01:18.998
-
YEARS AGO. YOU\'VE ALREADY MET

00:01:18.999 --> 00:01:20.833
-
HER. I DIDN\'T THINK, THEN, SHE

00:01:20.834 --> 00:01:22.998
-
WAS IN ANY GREAT DANGER AND AS A

00:01:22.999 --> 00:01:25.082
-
PARENT, I THOUGHT I DID ALL I

00:01:25.083 --> 00:01:28.208
-
COULD TO KEEP HER SAFE.

00:01:28.209 --> 00:01:33.458
-
\"ADA, LOOK AT THAT. LOOK AT-THAT.\"

00:01:33.459 --> 00:01:34.998
-
BUT IF WE\'RE LOADED WITH TOXIC

00:01:34.999 --> 00:01:35.999
-
CHEMICALS, WHERE DID THEY COME

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:37.998
-
FROM AND WHAT WILL THEY DO TO

00:01:37.999 --> 00:01:44.374
-
US?

00:01:44.375 --> 00:01:44.999
-
THEY START WITH COMPETITION.

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:50.998
-
WHAT THEY CREATE IS PROGRESS.

00:01:50.999 --> 00:01:53.458
-
THAT\'S ONE VERY BIG CLUE IN

00:01:53.459 --> 00:01:54.998
-
EXPANDING PROGRESS THAT IN 70

00:01:54.999 --> 00:01:56.500
-
YEARS HAS PUSHED GLOBAL

00:01:56.501 --> 00:01:58.082
-
PRODUCTION OF CHEMICALS TO RISE

00:01:58.083 --> 00:01:59.998
-
FROM ONE MILLION TONNES TO

00:01:59.999 --> 00:02:03.458
-
NEARLY 400 MILLION TONNES.

00:02:03.459 --> 00:02:04.708
-
WORKING WITH PRODUCTS STILL

00:02:04.709 --> 00:02:07.791
- UNNAMED AND SOME THAT
ARE STILL-UNTHOUGHT OF...

00:02:07.792 --> 00:02:09.999
-
UNTHOUGHT OF AND UNTESTED.

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.998
-
TURNS OUT MUCH OF THEIR

00:02:11.999 --> 00:02:12.999
-
CHEMISTRY HAS MANAGED, FOR

00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:14.500
-
DECADES, TO ESCAPE FULL

00:02:14.501 --> 00:02:15.998
-
REGULATION IN NEARLY EVERY

00:02:15.999 --> 00:02:17.082
-
INDUSTRIALIZED NATION IN THE

00:02:17.083 --> 00:02:25.083
-
WORLD.

00:02:28.083 --> 00:02:29.666
-
IF TOXINS LURK IN OUR BLOOD, I

00:02:29.667 --> 00:02:30.998
-
WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WAS IN MINE

00:02:30.999 --> 00:02:32.041
-
AND ESPECIALLY WHAT WAS IN MY

00:02:32.042 --> 00:02:37.374
-
DAUGHTER\'S.

00:02:37.375 --> 00:02:39.500
-
BUT UNLIKE EUROPE OR THE UNITED

00:02:39.501 --> 00:02:40.998
-
STATES, CANADIAN CHILDREN HAVE

00:02:40.999 --> 00:02:42.875
-
NEVER BEEN TESTED FOR ANYTHING

00:02:42.876 --> 00:02:44.998
-
EXCEPT THE LONG KNOWN TOXIN YOU

00:02:44.999 --> 00:02:50.791
-
MAY HAVE HEARD OF CALLED \"LEAD.\"

00:02:50.792 --> 00:02:51.667
-
BREATHE.

00:02:51.667 --> 00:02:52.667
-
I\'M FINE.

00:02:52.668 --> 00:02:54.998
-
BRAVE GIRL. GOOD FOR YOU.

00:02:54.999 --> 00:02:55.999
-
SINCE GOVERNMENT HEALTH

00:02:55.999 --> 00:02:56.999
-
OFFICIALS WEREN\'T DOING THE

00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:58.998
-
WORK, A NON-PROFIT GROUP HAD TO

00:02:58.999 --> 00:03:01.583
-
DO IT FOR THEM, SO ADA AND I

00:03:01.584 --> 00:03:02.998
-
SIGNED UP AS VOLUNTEERS. OUR

00:03:02.999 --> 00:03:04.833
-
RESULTS ARE IN AND YOU

00:03:04.834 --> 00:03:05.998
-
PRACTICALLY NEED A CHEMISTRY

00:03:05.999 --> 00:03:07.998
-
DEGREE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY

00:03:07.999 --> 00:03:10.917
-
MEAN.

00:03:10.918 --> 00:03:11.998
-
WHAT WE FOUND IN YOUR BLOOD

00:03:11.999 --> 00:03:12.999
-
AND IN ADA\'S BLOOD WAS PRETTY

00:03:12.999 --> 00:03:13.999
-
TYPICAL OF WHAT WE FOUND IN

00:03:13.999 --> 00:03:14.667
-
OTHER FAMILIES RIGHT ACROSS THE

00:03:14.667 --> 00:03:15.375
-
COUNTRY. IT DIDN\'T MATTER WHERE

00:03:15.375 --> 00:03:16.083
-
PEOPLE CAME FROM, IT DIDN\'T

00:03:16.083 --> 00:03:17.083
-
MATTER - IT DIDN\'T MATTER WHAT

00:03:17.084 --> 00:03:22.374
-
WHAT THEY DID FOR A LIVING.

00:03:22.375 --> 00:03:23.998
-
WE DELIBERATELY PICKED A VARIETY

00:03:23.999 --> 00:03:25.708
-
OF CHEMICALS THAT WE WOULD

00:03:25.709 --> 00:03:27.166
-
ABSORB FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF

00:03:27.167 --> 00:03:28.998
-
LIVES THROUGH THE AIR, THROUGH

00:03:28.999 --> 00:03:31.791
-
WATER THAT WE DRINK.

00:03:31.792 --> 00:03:34.708
-
SO YOU FOUND THINGS LIKE-HEAVY METALS.

00:03:34.709 --> 00:03:36.998
-
YEAH. WE FOUND HEAVY METALS,

00:03:36.999 --> 00:03:39.500
-
SO LEAD, MERCURY. WE ALSO TESTED

00:03:39.501 --> 00:03:41.583
-
FOR SOME NEWER CHEMICALS THAT

00:03:41.584 --> 00:03:43.583
-
PEOPLE ARE PROBABLY NOT AS

00:03:43.584 --> 00:03:45.041
-
FAMILIAR WITH. STAIN REPELLENT

00:03:45.042 --> 00:03:46.998
-
CHEMICALS AND FLAME RETARDANT

00:03:46.999 --> 00:03:48.416
-
CHEMICALS. AND WE FOUND

00:03:48.417 --> 00:03:49.998
-
PESTICIDES, CHEMICALS LIKE PCBS

00:03:49.999 --> 00:03:52.583
-
AND DDT THAT WERE BANNED DECADES

00:03:52.584 --> 00:03:55.416
-
AGO. DDT WAS BANNED IN CANADA IN

00:03:55.417 --> 00:03:58.374
-
1990.

00:03:58.375 --> 00:03:59.000
-
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS?

00:03:59.001 --> 00:04:00.998
-
NO, I DO NOT.

00:04:00.999 --> 00:04:01.667
-
THIS WAS A PESTICIDE THAT WAS

00:04:01.668 --> 00:04:05.998
-
SPRAYED TO CONTROL INSECTS.

00:04:05.999 --> 00:04:07.998
-
WOW. WHO WOULD THINK A KID

00:04:07.999 --> 00:04:09.374
-
COULD CARRY SUCH A CHEMICAL

00:04:09.375 --> 00:04:10.998
-
LOAD. AND WE JUST LIVE IN

00:04:10.999 --> 00:04:12.458
-
TORONTO, A TYPICAL URBAN CITY.

00:04:12.459 --> 00:04:13.999
-
IT\'S NOT LIKE THERE\'S A TOXIC

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:19.998
-
WASTE DUMP IN OUR BACKYARD.

00:04:19.999 --> 00:04:22.791
-
IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THESE

00:04:22.792 --> 00:04:23.998
-
CHEMICALS COULD POTENTIALLY

00:04:23.999 --> 00:04:26.708
-
BECOME EXT - LIKE - LIKE

00:04:26.709 --> 00:04:28.416
-
EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO OUR

00:04:28.417 --> 00:04:30.166
-
SYSTEMS?

00:04:30.167 --> 00:04:31.998
- >> ARE YOU WORRIED THAT
YOU\'RE-GONNA GET SICK?

00:04:31.999 --> 00:04:32.999
-
YEAH.

00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:34.791
-
FOR MOST OF THE CHEMICALS

00:04:34.792 --> 00:04:36.583
-
THAT WE TESTED FOR, THERE IS NO

00:04:36.584 --> 00:04:38.374
-
KNOWN SAFE LEVEL. WE KNOW THAT A

00:04:38.375 --> 00:04:39.998
-
LOT OF THEM DISRUPT HORMONES. WE

00:04:39.999 --> 00:04:41.999
-
KNOW THAT A LOT OF THEM ARE VERY

00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:43.500
-
DAMAGING FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF

00:04:43.501 --> 00:04:45.374
-
CHILDREN. WE KNOW THAT A LOT OF

00:04:45.375 --> 00:04:49.291
-
THOSE ARE CARCINOGENIC.

00:04:49.292 --> 00:04:50.917
-
OTHER JURISDICTIONS ALL OVER THE

00:04:50.918 --> 00:04:52.458
-
WORLD ARE CONCERNED ENOUGH TO BE

00:04:52.459 --> 00:04:53.998
-
MOVING AGGRESSIVELY TO BAN THESE

00:04:53.999 --> 00:04:54.999
-
CHEMICALS AND MEANWHILE, OUR

00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:56.041
-
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT\'S NOT DOING

00:04:56.042 --> 00:04:58.041
-
ANYTHING.

00:04:58.042 --> 00:04:59.998
-
NO KNOWN SAFE LEVELS. WELL,

00:04:59.999 --> 00:05:01.998
-
MAYBE THAT\'S BECAUSE NO ONE EVER

00:05:01.999 --> 00:05:03.625
-
MADE SCIENTISTS LOOK FOR THEM

00:05:03.626 --> 00:05:07.583
-
WITH CHILDREN IN MIND.

00:05:07.584 --> 00:05:09.500
-
WOULDN\'T IT BE WONDERFUL IF

00:05:09.501 --> 00:05:11.998
-
YOU COULD PUT THE KIDS IN A

00:05:11.999 --> 00:05:13.998
-
PROTECTIVE BUBBLE THIS WINTER?

00:05:13.999 --> 00:05:16.998
-
AND YET IN THE LAST 20 YEARS,

00:05:16.999 --> 00:05:18.082
-
CHILDHOOD DISEASE RATES HAVE

00:05:18.083 --> 00:05:19.791
-
CLIMBED DRAMATICALLY. IN CANADA

00:05:19.792 --> 00:05:20.998
-
ALONE, ASTHMA HAS RISEN

00:05:20.999 --> 00:05:23.208
-
FOUR-FOLD AND NOW ONE IN THREE

00:05:23.209 --> 00:05:24.998
-
CHILDREN HAVE SOME LEARNING OR

00:05:24.999 --> 00:05:26.500
-
BEHAVIOURAL DISABILITY, 23 PER

00:05:26.501 --> 00:05:28.833
-
CENT OF WHICH HAVE BEEN LINKED

00:05:28.834 --> 00:05:29.998
-
TO ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURES. IT

00:05:29.999 --> 00:05:32.208
-
ALL MAKES YOU WISH THAT BUBBLE

00:05:32.209 --> 00:05:33.998
-
WAS REAL. BUT THERE\'S MORE...

00:05:33.999 --> 00:05:36.791
-
HAVE YOU SEEN, IN YOUR YEARS IN

00:05:36.792 --> 00:05:38.458
-
PRACTICE, A RISING INCIDENT RATE

00:05:38.459 --> 00:05:41.249
-
IN CHILDHOOD CANCER?

00:05:41.250 --> 00:05:43.998
-
WELL, THE INCIDENT RATE OF

00:05:43.999 --> 00:05:45.583
-
CHILDHOOD CANCER HAS BEEN

00:05:45.584 --> 00:05:47.998
-
INCREASING AT A VERY SMALL RATE,

00:05:47.999 --> 00:05:49.998
-
BUT CONSISTENTLY OVER THE YEARS,

00:05:49.999 --> 00:05:52.998
-
SO IT\'S ROUGHLY 1 PER CENT PER

00:05:52.999 --> 00:05:54.998
-
ANNUM. IN AGGREGATE, THAT\'S A

00:05:54.999 --> 00:05:56.833
-
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE

00:05:56.834 --> 00:05:58.291
-
ABSOLUTE NUMBER OF CASES.

00:05:58.292 --> 00:06:00.998
-
THE ONE THAT CLEARLY APPEARS TO

00:06:00.999 --> 00:06:02.998
-
BE RISING IN ABSOLUTE INCIDENTS

00:06:02.999 --> 00:06:05.583
-
IS LYMPHOMA. ON THE OTHER HAND,

00:06:05.584 --> 00:06:07.708
-
WE HAVE NOT FOUND CONCLUSIVE

00:06:07.709 --> 00:06:09.208
-
EVIDENCE ON ENVIRONMENTAL CAUSE

00:06:09.209 --> 00:06:11.374
-
IN ANY PARTICULAR DISEASE. THE

00:06:11.375 --> 00:06:13.998
-
BEST WAY TO BE LOOKING AT

00:06:13.999 --> 00:06:15.998
-
ENVIRONMENTAL LINKS IS TO BE

00:06:15.999 --> 00:06:20.998
-
ABLE TO IDENTIFY CLUSTERS.

00:06:20.999 --> 00:06:23.249
- >> CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT
YOU MEAN-BY CLUSTERING?

00:06:23.250 --> 00:06:25.998
-
A GEOGRAPHIC AREA IN WHICH

00:06:25.999 --> 00:06:28.833
-
THE INCIDENT RATE IS HIGHER THAN

00:06:28.834 --> 00:06:30.500
-
PREDICTED FROM THE POPULATION

00:06:30.501 --> 00:06:33.708
-
BASE. I DON\'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE

00:06:33.709 --> 00:06:35.998
-
EVIDENCE THAT SHOULD HAVE A

00:06:35.999 --> 00:06:37.998
-
PARENT BEING CONCERNED ABOUT ANY

00:06:37.999 --> 00:06:42.998
-
PARTICULAR ENVIRONMENTAL SOUP.

00:06:42.999 --> 00:06:45.041
-
I\'M SURE DR. GREENBERG MEANT

00:06:45.042 --> 00:06:47.208
-
TO GIVE COMFORT, BUT I DIDN\'T

00:06:47.209 --> 00:06:49.374
-
FEEL THAT WAY. IN FACT, RESEARCH

00:06:49.375 --> 00:06:50.999
-
IN NORTH AMERICA AND EUROPE

00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:52.625
-
INCREASINGLY LINKS DISEASE AND

00:06:52.626 --> 00:06:54.791
-
EARLY EXPOSURE TO THE KINDS OF

00:06:54.792 --> 00:06:56.500
-
TOXINS FOUND IN MY DAUGHTER\'S

00:06:56.501 --> 00:06:58.833
-
BLOOD.

00:06:58.834 --> 00:07:00.998
-
AND WHETHER YOU\'RE IN BOSTON OR

EDWARD ISLAND, YOU\'RE BOUND TO

00:07:04.999 --> 00:07:06.998
-
FIND ONE OR MORE DISEASE

00:07:06.999 --> 00:07:08.666
-
CLUSTERS IN CHILDREN, PROBABLY

00:07:08.667 --> 00:07:10.998
-
NOT FAR FROM YOUR OWN DOORSTEP.

00:07:10.999 --> 00:07:13.833
-
IT SURE WASN\'T FAR FROM MINE AS

00:07:13.834 --> 00:07:15.998
-
I DISCOVERED ON THE GREAT LAKES

00:07:15.999 --> 00:07:18.416
-
IN A TOWN CALLED WINDSOR, RIGHT

00:07:18.417 --> 00:07:20.998
-
ACROSS FROM DETROIT, ON THE U.S.

00:07:20.999 --> 00:07:22.917
-
BORDER. I\'VE LEARNED IT\'S JUST

00:07:22.918 --> 00:07:24.998
-
ONE OF THE PLACES THAT EXCEEDS

00:07:24.999 --> 00:07:26.875
-
NATIONAL DISEASE RATES, ALTHOUGH

00:07:26.876 --> 00:07:32.166
-
THAT WASN\'T ALWAYS THE CASE.

00:07:32.167 --> 00:07:34.666
-
OH, IT\'S A GREAT PLACE. YOU

00:07:34.667 --> 00:07:36.166
-
WENT TO SCHOOL, YOU PLAYED.

00:07:36.167 --> 00:07:38.208
-
MAYBE YOU HAD A PAPER ROUTE.

00:07:38.209 --> 00:07:41.208
-
EVERYDAY CANADIANA.

00:07:41.209 --> 00:07:42.998
-
THAT EVERYDAY CANADIANA IS

00:07:42.999 --> 00:07:44.500
-
NOW A MAJOR AUTO MANUFACTURING

00:07:44.501 --> 00:07:46.374
-
HUB IN NORTH AMERICA AND SHARES,

00:07:46.375 --> 00:07:47.998
-
WITH DETROIT, THE BUSIEST BORDER

00:07:47.999 --> 00:07:49.791
-
CROSSING IN THE WORLD. THAT

00:07:49.792 --> 00:07:51.998
-
MEANS IT\'S GOT A LOT OF TRUCKS

00:07:51.999 --> 00:07:53.791
-
AND THAT REALLY BUGS LEO

00:07:53.792 --> 00:07:58.500
-
PETRILLI.

00:07:58.501 --> 00:08:00.998
-
WHAT\'S SPECIAL ABOUT THIS SPOT?

00:08:00.999 --> 00:08:01.999
-
THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTS

00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:03.625
-
AND STOPS BEFORE IT GETS ON THE

00:08:03.626 --> 00:08:04.626
-
BRIDGE. FORTY PER CENT OF

00:08:04.626 --> 00:08:05.292
-
CANADA\'S GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT

00:08:05.292 --> 00:08:06.292
-
RUNS OVER THAT BRIDGE. IT\'S

00:08:06.292 --> 00:08:07.000
-
ALREADY BEEN DELIVERED; IT\'S

00:08:07.001 --> 00:08:08.625
-
ALREADY HERE. YOU WATCH \'EM AT A

00:08:08.626 --> 00:08:09.917
-
STOP SIGN. IF THERE\'S SEVEN OR

00:08:09.918 --> 00:08:10.998
-
EIGHT OR THEM, YOU\'LL SEE THEM

00:08:10.999 --> 00:08:12.041
-
ALL, \"PUFF, PUFF, PUFF - PUFF,

00:08:12.042 --> 00:08:13.374

PUFF, PUFF - PUFF, PUFF, PUFF,\"

00:08:13.375 --> 00:08:14.042
-
AS THEY\'RE TAKIN\' OFF.

00:08:14.043 --> 00:08:15.374
-
AND THEN YOU\'LL SEE THEM CUT

00:08:15.375 --> 00:08:16.042
-
RIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION,

00:08:16.043 --> 00:08:17.374
-
\"PUFF AND PUFF AND PUFF AND

00:08:17.375 --> 00:08:22.500
-
PUFF...\"

00:08:22.501 --> 00:08:24.500
-
AT ANY GIVEN TIME YOU\'RE LOOKING

00:08:24.501 --> 00:08:27.082
-
AT 20 TO 25 TO 30,000 TRUCKS IN

00:08:27.083 --> 00:08:29.082
-
MY CITY EVERY DAY. PURE DEATH.

00:08:29.083 --> 00:08:31.666
-
THE CANCER THAT MY CITY IS GOING

00:08:31.667 --> 00:08:33.708

THROUGH RIGHT NOW AND THE PAIN

00:08:33.709 --> 00:08:35.791
-

00:08:35.792 --> 00:08:36.998
-
EVERYBODY KNOWS SOMEBODY WHO\'S

00:08:36.999 --> 00:08:38.791
-
GOT CANCER IN THIS TOWN.

00:08:38.792 --> 00:08:39.998
-
EVERYONE\'S LOST SOMEONE TO

00:08:39.999 --> 00:08:42.249
-
CANCER IN THIS TOWN. I LOST MY

00:08:42.250 --> 00:08:44.374
-
FATHER. MY FATHER DIED OF LUNG

00:08:44.375 --> 00:08:45.998
-
CANCER AND THROAT CANCER AND

00:08:45.999 --> 00:08:47.998
-
STOMACH CANCER. I WATCHED HIM

00:08:47.999 --> 00:08:47.999
-
SUFFOCATE.

00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:49.998
-
THE INDUSTRY THAT THEY COULD

00:08:49.999 --> 00:08:52.708
-
BLAME IT ON IS - I THINK IT\'S

00:08:52.709 --> 00:08:57.998
-
THE TRUCKS THAT\'S DOIN\' IT.

00:08:57.999 --> 00:08:58.999
-
DO YOU HAVE ANY KIDS?

00:08:58.999 --> 00:08:59.999
-
TWO KIDS. MY SON, LEO\'S, 14.

00:08:59.999 --> 00:09:00.999
-
MY DAUGHTER, VANESSA, IS, UH, 12

00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:05.625

00:09:05.626 --> 00:09:06.708
-
AND HOW\'S THEIR HEALTH?

00:09:06.709 --> 00:09:08.500
-
MY SON HAS ASTHMA. WHEN HE

00:09:08.501 --> 00:09:10.291
-
COMES TO STAY WITH ME IN MY

00:09:10.292 --> 00:09:11.833
-
APARTMENT BUILDING HE NEEDS A

00:09:11.834 --> 00:09:12.998
-
PUFFER TO BREATHE. ACTIVE KID,

00:09:12.999 --> 00:09:14.998
-
GOOD KID. AND MY DAUGHTER\'S - MY

00:09:14.999 --> 00:09:18.583
-
DAUGHTER, THANK GOD, IS FINE.

00:09:18.584 --> 00:09:20.625
-
AND WHY DOES HE NEED A-PUFFER?

00:09:20.626 --> 00:09:21.833
-
I LIVE VERY CLOSE TO THE

00:09:21.834 --> 00:09:22.584
-
BRIDGE, MAYBE FIVE MINUTES AWAY

00:09:22.585 --> 00:09:23.833
-
FROM THE BRIDGE. IT MAKES IT A

00:09:23.834 --> 00:09:24.584
-
LITTLE TOUGHER FOR HIM TO

00:09:24.584 --> 00:09:25.584
-
BREATHE WHEN HE\'S WITH ME THAN

00:09:25.585 --> 00:09:26.833
-
WHEN HE\'S IN HIS HOME. AND HIS

00:09:26.834 --> 00:09:27.998
-
HOME IS IN THE COUNTRY AND HE

00:09:27.999 --> 00:09:31.998
-
VERY RARELY USES A PUFFER.

00:09:31.999 --> 00:09:33.458
-
WOW, THAT\'S PRETTY STARK, EH?

00:09:33.459 --> 00:09:34.833
-
THAT\'S A PRETTY STARTLING

00:09:34.834 --> 00:09:37.666
-
DIFFERENCE.

00:09:37.667 --> 00:09:41.374
-
YEAH. YEAH.

00:09:41.375 --> 00:09:43.998
-
LEO\'S SON IS FAR FROM ALONE

00:09:43.999 --> 00:09:45.998
-
WITH HIS ASTHMA. THE WORLD

00:09:45.999 --> 00:09:47.500
-
HEALTH ORGANIZATION IN GENEVA

00:09:47.501 --> 00:09:49.999
-
SAYS THAT BY 2025, 50 PER CENT

00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.458
-
OF THE WORLD WILL BE AFFLICTED

00:09:52.459 --> 00:09:54.291
-
WITH ASTHMA. THAT\'S THE SAME

00:09:54.292 --> 00:09:55.998
-
YEAR THE WINDSOR-DETROIT BORDER

00:09:55.999 --> 00:09:58.041
-
EXPECTS TO SEE 50,000 TRUCKS A

00:09:58.042 --> 00:09:58.626
-
DAY.

00:09:58.627 --> 00:10:01.166
-
WHO ALSO SAYS THE COST RIGHT NOW

00:10:01.167 --> 00:10:03.666
-
TO THE WORLD OF TREATING ASTHMA

00:10:03.667 --> 00:10:05.998
-
EXCEEDS THAT FOR HIV/AIDS AND TB

00:10:05.999 --> 00:10:11.500
-
COMBINED.

00:10:11.501 --> 00:10:16.166
- >> AND OUR CHILDREN ARE
OUR MOST-VALUABLE ASSETS.

00:10:16.167 --> 00:10:17.998
-
JUST UP THE STREET FROM LEO

00:10:17.999 --> 00:10:19.291
-
AND THE BORDER, I MEET ANOTHER

00:10:19.292 --> 00:10:20.625
-
PARENT WHO WONDERS ABOUT TOXIC

00:10:20.626 --> 00:10:23.291
-
EXPOSURES AND CHILDREN\'S HEALTH.

00:10:23.292 --> 00:10:24.374
-
PEOPLE ARE RUNNING SCARED.

00:10:24.375 --> 00:10:25.998
-
THE MINUTE YOU MENTION

00:10:25.999 --> 00:10:28.917
-
ENVIRONMENT AND HEALTH,

00:10:28.918 --> 00:10:30.791
-
ENVIRONMENT AND CANCER, PEOPLE

00:10:30.792 --> 00:10:32.374
-
RUN. AND A LOT OF OUR PEOPLE

00:10:32.375 --> 00:10:34.998
-
HAVEN\'T EVEN GIVEN A THOUGHT TO

00:10:34.999 --> 00:10:36.998
-
LINKING ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURES

00:10:36.999 --> 00:10:42.875
-
TO CANCER.

00:10:42.876 --> 00:10:43.998
-
KELLY ST. PIERRE CHAIRS A

00:10:43.999 --> 00:10:44.999
-
LOCAL CANCER PREVENTION GROUP.

00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:46.082
-
SHE\'S AN AUTO FACTORY WORKER AND

00:10:46.083 --> 00:10:47.998
-
A MOTHER OF FOUR KIDS, ONE OF

00:10:47.999 --> 00:10:52.500
-
WHOM\'S LUCKY TO BE ALIVE.

00:10:52.501 --> 00:10:54.833
-
SARAH\'S FIRST FULL YEAR OF

00:10:54.834 --> 00:10:56.998
-
LIFE, SHE DIDN\'T EVEN HAVE SO

00:10:56.999 --> 00:11:00.583
-
MUCH AS AN EAR INFECTION.

00:11:00.584 --> 00:11:02.625
-
AT 18 MONTHS, SARAH DEVELOPED

00:11:02.626 --> 00:11:04.708
-
A COUGH THAT JUST WOULDN\'T GO

00:11:04.709 --> 00:11:05.998
-
AWAY DESPITE ALL THE

00:11:05.999 --> 00:11:07.374
-
MEDICATIONS.

00:11:07.375 --> 00:11:09.249
- >> I JUST PICKED HER UP
AND WE-WENT RIGHT TO THE

00:11:09.250 --> 00:11:10.083
-
PAEDIATRICIAN\'S OFFICE. SO RIGHT

00:11:10.084 --> 00:11:11.791
-
AWAY HE LOOKED AT HER AND HE

00:11:11.792 --> 00:11:12.998
-
SAID, \"THIS ISN\'T GOOD.\" SHE WAS

00:11:12.999 --> 00:11:14.833
-
DEATHLY WHITE. SHE HAD NO COLOUR

00:11:14.834 --> 00:11:15.999
-
TO HER AT ALL. SHE WOULDN\'T

00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.458
-
WEIGHT-BEAR.

00:11:18.459 --> 00:11:20.875
-
SO THEY DID THE BLOOD WORK AND

00:11:20.876 --> 00:11:22.998
-
THAT\'S WHEN HE TOLD US SHE HAD

00:11:22.999 --> 00:11:24.208
-
LEUKAEMIA. NOTHING PREPARES YOU

00:11:24.209 --> 00:11:26.666
-
TO BE TOLD THAT YOUR CHILD HAS

00:11:26.667 --> 00:11:29.833
-
CANCER.

00:11:29.834 --> 00:11:31.208
-
KELLY WAS TOLD SARAH\'S

00:11:31.209 --> 00:11:33.082
-
LEUKAEMIA WAS, IN FACT, A RARE

00:11:33.083 --> 00:11:34.998
-
FORM CALLED \"AML,\" ACUTE MYELOID

00:11:34.999 --> 00:11:36.458
-
LEUKAEMIA. IT\'S A BLOOD CANCER

00:11:36.459 --> 00:11:38.917
-
THAT\'S BEEN FOUND ON THE RISE IN

00:11:38.918 --> 00:11:42.500
-
EUROPE, AMERICA AND ASIA.

00:11:42.501 --> 00:11:44.583
-
IN CHILDREN AND LITTLE

00:11:44.584 --> 00:11:46.625
-
CHILDREN, IT IS NOW BECOMING

00:11:46.626 --> 00:11:48.666
-
VERY COMMON. RIGHT AFTER SARAH

00:11:48.667 --> 00:11:50.708
-
WAS DIAGNOSED, THERE WERE SIX

00:11:50.709 --> 00:11:52.166
-
YOUNG CHILDREN DIAGNOSED WITH

00:11:52.167 --> 00:11:52.792
-
AML.

00:11:52.793 --> 00:11:54.999
-
IN YOUR OWN WORDS, WHAT WOULD

00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.998
-
YOU LIKE TO SAY?

00:11:57.999 --> 00:12:02.374
-
I HAD CANCER AND I FOUND A-MATCH.

00:12:02.375 --> 00:12:02.999
-
SHE HAD CANCER AND SHE FOUND

00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:04.166
-
A BONE MARROW MATCH. WITH WHO?

00:12:04.167 --> 00:12:05.998
-
JAKE.

00:12:05.999 --> 00:12:06.999
-
JAKE, YOUR BROTHER. CAN YOU

00:12:06.999 --> 00:12:07.999
-
TURN AROUND AND TELL THAT TO THE

00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:09.166
-
CAMERA? NO? SO MUCH FOR BEING A

00:12:09.167 --> 00:12:17.167
-
DIVA STAR.

00:12:18.501 --> 00:12:20.791
-
WE ARE SEEING A HIGHER

00:12:20.792 --> 00:12:22.458
-
INCIDENCE OF ALL TYPES OF

00:12:22.459 --> 00:12:23.998
-
CANCERS, ALMOST, IN CHILDREN.

00:12:23.999 --> 00:12:25.374
-
BRAIN TUMOURS, LEUKAEMIAS, AND

00:12:25.375 --> 00:12:27.998
-
THEN AT THE SAME TIME, TOO, WE

00:12:27.999 --> 00:12:29.416
-
ARE INDUSTRIALIZING. SO YOU

00:12:29.417 --> 00:12:31.708
-
WONDER: WHERE IS THE LINK? THE

00:12:31.709 --> 00:12:33.458
-
GENETIC FACTORS ALONE IS LESS

00:12:33.459 --> 00:12:35.208
-
THAN 5 PER CENT, SO

00:12:35.209 --> 00:12:36.374
-
ENVIRONMENTAL THINGS ARE

00:12:36.375 --> 00:12:38.666
-
PROBABLY 95 PER CENT AS THE

00:12:38.667 --> 00:12:43.041
-
CAUSATIVE OF CANCERS.

00:12:43.042 --> 00:12:45.041
-
WE\'RE SEEING AN INCREASE IN A

00:12:45.042 --> 00:12:46.666
-
LOT OF PROBLEMS IN CHILDREN,

00:12:46.667 --> 00:12:47.875
-
HEALTHWISE. WE\'RE SEEING THE

00:12:47.876 --> 00:12:48.998
-
PUFFERS BEING NEEDED, WE\'RE

00:12:48.999 --> 00:12:50.708
-
SEEING, YOU KNOW, A HIGHER -

00:12:50.709 --> 00:12:55.249
-
HIGHER INCIDENCE OF THE ASTHMA.

00:12:55.250 --> 00:12:55.999
-
TWO OUT OF LIKE EVERY THREE

00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.583
-
PEOPLE HAVE ASTHMA IN MY CLASS.

00:12:58.584 --> 00:13:02.208
-
SO WHO HAS ASTHMA IN YOUR-FAMILY?

00:13:02.209 --> 00:13:04.249
-
ME, SARAH, JACOB HAS SOMEWHAT

00:13:04.250 --> 00:13:07.998
-
- JONAH HAS SOMEWHAT ASTHMA.

00:13:07.999 --> 00:13:09.833
-
LIKE, FOR THE LITTLE KIDS THEY

00:13:09.834 --> 00:13:11.708
-
PUT THIS OVER THEIR FACE SO THEY

00:13:11.709 --> 00:13:13.208
-
CAN TAKE IT PROPERLY. AND THEN

00:13:13.209 --> 00:13:15.166
-
THEY PUSH - THEN THEY PUSH IT.

00:13:15.167 --> 00:13:19.998
-
PUT THE PUFFER IN...

00:13:19.999 --> 00:13:21.458
-
JUST SHOW - JUST SHOW THEM.

00:13:21.459 --> 00:13:22.998
-
I\'VE BEEN TAKING THEM FOR

00:13:22.999 --> 00:13:27.166
-
THREE YEARS, MAYBE LONGER.

00:13:27.167 --> 00:13:29.791
-
I MEAN, OUR KIDS HAVE A

00:13:29.792 --> 00:13:31.291
-
DOUBLE WHAMMY AGAINST THEM. I

00:13:31.292 --> 00:13:33.917
-
GREW UP WITHIN A MILE OF THE

00:13:33.918 --> 00:13:35.998

-
MILE OF A HEAVY METAL INDUSTRY,

00:13:45.999 --> 00:13:47.998
-
THOSE RELEASES OF THE POLLUTION

00:13:47.999 --> 00:13:49.998
-
THAT WE BREATHE IN AS CHILDREN

00:13:49.999 --> 00:13:51.998
-
AS WE WERE GROWING, I\'M SURE

00:13:51.999 --> 00:13:53.875
-
PROBABLY CAUSED SOME SORT OF

00:13:53.876 --> 00:13:55.500
-
GENETIC EFFECT ON OUR SUBSEQUENT

00:13:55.501 --> 00:13:59.583
-
CHILDREN.

00:13:59.584 --> 00:14:07.584
[♪♪]

00:14:13.999 --> 00:14:16.416
-
IF KELLY AND LEO ARE RIGHT,

00:14:16.417 --> 00:14:18.416
-
THIS GATEWAY TOWN TO AMERICA WAS

00:14:18.417 --> 00:14:20.416
-
STARTING TO LOOK LIKE ONE SICK

00:14:20.417 --> 00:14:22.416
-
PLACE. ESPECIALLY IN THE EYES OF

00:14:22.417 --> 00:14:23.917
-
THESE TWO INTREPID RESEARCHERS

00:14:23.918 --> 00:14:25.458
-
WHOSE WORK MADE ENEMIES WITH

00:14:25.459 --> 00:14:26.998
-
SOME PRETTY BIG HEALTH

00:14:26.999 --> 00:14:29.833
-
OFFICIALS.

00:14:29.834 --> 00:14:30.998
-
FOR YEARS, I MEAN, PEOPLE

00:14:30.999 --> 00:14:32.082
-
KNEW THAT THERE WERE SERIOUS

00:14:32.083 --> 00:14:33.000
-
HEALTH PROBLEMS. EVERYBODY KNEW

00:14:33.001 --> 00:14:34.998
-
IT.

00:14:34.999 --> 00:14:37.666
-
WELL, HEALTH CANADA WENT AND

00:14:37.667 --> 00:14:40.917
-
PUT TOGETHER A WHOLE LOT OF DATA

00:14:40.918 --> 00:14:42.625
-
ON MORTALITY RATES, MORBIDITY

00:14:42.626 --> 00:14:43.998
-
RATES, EXCESS HOSPITALIZATION,

00:14:43.999 --> 00:14:45.208
-
LISTS ON CONGENITAL

00:14:45.209 --> 00:14:47.625
-
ABNORMALITIES FOR A WHOLE SERIES

00:14:47.626 --> 00:14:50.208
-
OF WHAT THEY CALL AREAS OF

00:14:50.209 --> 00:14:52.625
-
CONCERN AROUND THE GREAT LAKES.

00:14:52.626 --> 00:14:55.208
-
AND ONE OF THE PLACES WAS

00:14:55.209 --> 00:14:55.876
-
WINDSOR.

00:14:55.877 --> 00:14:57.998
-
THERE WERE ABOUT ALMOST 1,000

00:14:57.999 --> 00:15:00.374
-
EXCESS DEATHS IN THIS COMMUNITY

00:15:00.375 --> 00:15:03.041
-
AND ALSO THERE WERE MORE THAN

00:15:03.042 --> 00:15:08.917
-
40,000 EXCESS HOSPITALIZATIONS.

00:15:08.918 --> 00:15:10.416
-
HEALTH CANADA ACTUALLY HAD

00:15:10.417 --> 00:15:11.998
-
SUPPRESSED THE FINDINGS AND THEN

00:15:11.999 --> 00:15:14.458
-
FINALLY, IT WAS BECAUSE OF A CBC

00:15:14.459 --> 00:15:15.998
-
REPORTER WHO ACTUALLY ASKED

00:15:15.999 --> 00:15:19.166
-
ABOUT THE REPORT...

00:15:19.167 --> 00:15:20.998
-
DONE FOR INDIVIDUALS AND

00:15:20.999 --> 00:15:22.791
-
COMMUNITIES WHO ARE MORE AWARE

00:15:22.792 --> 00:15:24.374
-
NOW OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN

00:15:24.375 --> 00:15:25.917
-
THEIR HEALTH AND THE

00:15:25.918 --> 00:15:27.583
-
ENVIRONMENT. THE STUDY HAS NOT

00:15:27.584 --> 00:15:28.501
-
BEEN RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC.

00:15:28.502 --> 00:15:29.998
-
FROM WHAT WE CAN TELL IN

00:15:29.999 --> 00:15:30.999
-
READING THIS, THERE ARE SOME

00:15:30.999 --> 00:15:31.999
-
PATTERNS HERE THAT INDICATE

00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:34.998
-
EXPOSURE...

00:15:34.999 --> 00:15:36.583
-
AS WELL AS THE DEATH RATES,

00:15:36.584 --> 00:15:37.833
-
HAINES DIDN\'T WANT TO DISCUSS

00:15:37.834 --> 00:15:38.709
-
CAUSES OF HOSPITALIZATION. JIM

00:15:38.710 --> 00:15:39.998
-
BROPHY FROM THE ONTARIO HEALTH

00:15:39.999 --> 00:15:40.999
-
CLINIC WAS DENIED THE REPORT

00:15:40.999 --> 00:15:41.999
-
UNTIL HE THREATENED TO USE

00:15:41.999 --> 00:15:42.999
-
ACCESS TO INFORMATION

00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:46.708
-
LEGISLATION.

00:15:46.709 --> 00:15:48.875
-
THE WHOLE ISSUE WAS THAT THE

00:15:48.876 --> 00:15:50.082
-
COMMUNITY WOULD BE HYSTERICAL. I

00:15:50.083 --> 00:15:51.998
-
MEAN, THAT WAS ACTUALLY THE WORD

00:15:51.999 --> 00:15:53.998
-
THAT THEY USED. AND IT WASN\'T

00:15:53.999 --> 00:15:55.249
-
WHAT THE FINDINGS WERE, IT

00:15:55.250 --> 00:15:56.998
-
WASN\'T ABOUT WHAT ARE WE GOING

00:15:56.999 --> 00:15:59.082
-
TO DO ABOUT THIS, IT WAS THAT

00:15:59.083 --> 00:16:00.998
-
THE COMMUNITY WILL, YOU KNOW, BE

00:16:00.999 --> 00:16:03.041
-
SO UPSET AND - AND OUTRAGED BY

00:16:03.042 --> 00:16:03.999
-
WHAT WAS HAPPENING.

00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:05.998
-
AND WE FORCED THE GOVERNMENT TO

00:16:05.999 --> 00:16:07.833
-
RELEASE THE DATA AND THE REPORTS

00:16:07.834 --> 00:16:09.998
-
THAT IT ALREADY HAD, AND THEN WE

00:16:09.999 --> 00:16:12.041
-
TOOK THE DATA AND TOOK IT A STEP

00:16:12.042 --> 00:16:13.374
-
FURTHER. WE COMPARED HAMILTON,

00:16:13.375 --> 00:16:14.209
-
ANOTHER BLUE-COLLAR COMMUNITY

00:16:14.210 --> 00:16:15.998
-
THAT WAS SIMILAR, AND TO OUR

00:16:15.999 --> 00:16:17.208
-
SURPRISE, REALLY, HAMILTON WAS

00:16:17.209 --> 00:16:18.998
-
SO MUCH HEALTHIER IN TERMS OF

00:16:18.999 --> 00:16:20.291
-
THE HOSPITALIZATION RATES FOR

00:16:20.292 --> 00:16:23.998
-
THAT AREA.

00:16:23.999 --> 00:16:28.166
-
YES. YEAH. AND MORTALITY-RATES AS WELL.

00:16:28.167 --> 00:16:29.083
-
AND, OF COURSE, NOBODY IN THE

00:16:29.084 --> 00:16:32.249
-
PUBLIC KNEW ABOUT THIS.

00:16:32.250 --> 00:16:33.998
-
WAIT A SECOND. HAMILTON,

00:16:33.999 --> 00:16:35.166
-
CANADA\'S LARGEST STEEL TOWN,

00:16:35.167 --> 00:16:37.082
-
LONG KNOWN AS A POLLUTED HOT

00:16:37.083 --> 00:16:39.041
-
SPOT, AND IT WAS HEALTHIER THAN

00:16:39.042 --> 00:16:40.500
-
WINDSOR? IT SEEMS PREVAILING

00:16:40.501 --> 00:16:41.999
-
WINDS CARRY ITS POLLUTION AWAY

00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:43.999
-
FROM THE CITY, BUT WINDSOR\'S NOT

00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:48.500
-
SO LUCKY.

00:16:48.501 --> 00:16:49.998
-
NOBODY ELSE WAS RAISING THE

00:16:49.999 --> 00:16:51.917
-
FLAG, THE DANGER. AND IT - IT

00:16:51.918 --> 00:16:53.208
-
TOUCHED DOWN ON A VERY RAW

00:16:53.209 --> 00:16:58.583
-
NERVE, I THINK.

00:16:58.584 --> 00:16:59.998
-
SOON, THE WHISTLE-BLOWING

00:16:59.999 --> 00:17:01.875
-
CONFIRMED WHAT MANY DOCTORS,

00:17:01.876 --> 00:17:03.875
-
WEARY OF THEIR GROWING PATIENT

00:17:03.876 --> 00:17:07.416
-
LOADS, LONG SUSPECTED.

00:17:07.417 --> 00:17:09.791
-
GOVERNMENT ONLY TELLS US WHAT

00:17:09.792 --> 00:17:12.208
-
THEY WANT US TO KNOW. I THINK

00:17:12.209 --> 00:17:13.999
-
THAT THERE IS NOT FULL

00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:14.584
-
DISCLOSURE.

00:17:14.585 --> 00:17:16.999
-
MY OWN FEELING IS THAT CANCER IS

00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:18.208
-
A CHEMICAL DISEASE.

00:17:18.209 --> 00:17:19.999
-
THE CHILDREN\'S ORGANS ARE MORE

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:21.998
-
SENSITIVE THAN OURS. THEY ARE

00:17:21.999 --> 00:17:23.583
-
MORE SENSITIVE TO THESE

00:17:23.584 --> 00:17:24.791
-
CHEMICALS. THEIR NEUROLOGIC

00:17:24.792 --> 00:17:26.625
-
SYSTEMS ARE MORE SENSITIVE. I

00:17:26.626 --> 00:17:28.998
-
WOULD THINK THAT THEY ARE THE

00:17:28.999 --> 00:17:30.875
-
CANARIES IN THE COAL MINE.

00:17:30.876 --> 00:17:32.998
-
THIS PROBLEM IS NOT LIMITED TO

00:17:32.999 --> 00:17:34.998
-
WINDSOR. IT\'S MORE ACUTE IN

00:17:34.999 --> 00:17:37.041
-
WINDSOR. THIS IS A PROBLEM OF

00:17:37.042 --> 00:17:38.249
-
INDUSTRIALIZATION. THIS PROBLEM

00:17:38.250 --> 00:17:40.166
-
IS OCCURRING ALL OVER NORTH

00:17:40.167 --> 00:17:43.416
-
AMERICA.

00:17:43.417 --> 00:17:45.500
-
THIS COMES FROM AN EPA BOOK

00:17:45.501 --> 00:17:46.998
-
ON DIESEL. NOW, I CAN\'T

00:17:46.999 --> 00:17:48.917
-
PRONOUNCE ANY OF THESE - YOU

00:17:48.918 --> 00:17:51.999
-
DON\'T HAVE TO TRY.

00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:53.998
-
THEY\'RE CARCINOGENS. THEY ARE

00:17:53.999 --> 00:17:55.583
-
AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS THAT ARE

00:17:55.584 --> 00:17:57.998
-
CAPABLE OF MUTATING OUR DNA AND

00:17:57.999 --> 00:18:00.625
-
THE MUTATION OF OUR DNA IS WHAT

00:18:00.626 --> 00:18:06.625
-
EVENTUALLY LEADS TO THE CANCERS.

00:18:06.626 --> 00:18:08.041
-
THESE POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC

00:18:08.042 --> 00:18:09.998
-
HYDROCARBONS AREN\'T EXACTLY A

00:18:09.999 --> 00:18:12.208
-
CLASS OF CHEMICALS I WAS OVERLY

00:18:12.209 --> 00:18:14.249
-
FAMILIAR WITH, BUT DR. SICHERI

00:18:14.250 --> 00:18:16.998
-
TELLS ME THEY\'RE EVERYWHERE - IN

00:18:16.999 --> 00:18:18.416
-
DIESEL EXHAUST, POWER PLANTS,

00:18:18.417 --> 00:18:19.791
-
CIGARETTE SMOKE, PESTICIDES.

00:18:19.792 --> 00:18:20.998
-
EVEN POLYVINYLCHLORIDE PRODUCTS

00:18:20.999 --> 00:18:22.998
-
LIKE MY DAUGHTER\'S OLD BOTTLE.

00:18:22.999 --> 00:18:25.416
-
AND THEY CAN CAUSE CANCER IN

00:18:25.417 --> 00:18:26.998
-
DOSES POTENTIALLY LOWER THAN

00:18:26.999 --> 00:18:28.917
-
ANYONE EVER THOUGHT. SO

00:18:28.918 --> 00:18:30.416
-
REGULATIONS HAVE BEEN PRETTY

00:18:30.417 --> 00:18:37.998
-
HARD TO FIND.

00:18:37.999 --> 00:18:40.291
-
BY THE TIME A TYPICAL WOMAN

00:18:40.292 --> 00:18:42.998
-
IN CANADA HAS WOKEN UP IN THE

00:18:42.999 --> 00:18:44.708
-
MORNING, PUT ON HER MAKEUP,

00:18:44.709 --> 00:18:46.374
-
EATEN BREAKFAST, HER BODY WILL

00:18:46.375 --> 00:18:48.041
-
HAVE ABSORBED OVER 100 CHEMICALS

00:18:48.042 --> 00:18:50.249
-
THAT ARE PRESENT IN HER HAIR

00:18:50.250 --> 00:18:51.998
-
CARE PRODUCTS, IN HER MAKEUP,

00:18:51.999 --> 00:18:54.249
-
UM... THAT ARE PRESENT IN THE

00:18:54.250 --> 00:18:56.458
-
KITCHEN PRODUCTS THAT -

00:18:56.459 --> 00:18:58.583
-
I\'M IN TROUBLE.

00:18:58.584 --> 00:19:00.500
- >> - THAT SHE USES TO FRY
HER-EGGS IN THE MORNING.

00:19:00.501 --> 00:19:01.998
-
I\'M IN BIG TROUBLE, YEAH.

00:19:01.999 --> 00:19:03.625
-
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS

00:19:03.626 --> 00:19:05.458
-
HAD AN UNSTATED POLICY THAT IT

00:19:05.459 --> 00:19:06.875
-
DOESN\'T WANT TO RELEASE

00:19:06.876 --> 00:19:08.249
-
INFORMATION LIKE THIS UNLESS IT

00:19:08.250 --> 00:19:10.625
-
HAS A CLEAR PLAN OF WHAT IT\'S

00:19:10.626 --> 00:19:12.458
-
GONNA DO ABOUT IT. AND BECAUSE

00:19:12.459 --> 00:19:13.875
-
THESE PLANS ON ENVIRONMENTAL

00:19:13.876 --> 00:19:15.791
-
ISSUES TEND TO BE COSTLY AND

00:19:15.792 --> 00:19:17.166
-
THEY TEND TO EXPOSE THE

00:19:17.167 --> 00:19:19.041
-
POTENTIAL HARM, IF NOT THE REAL

00:19:19.042 --> 00:19:20.998
-
HARM TO THE HUMAN POPULATION,

00:19:20.999 --> 00:19:22.416
-
ENVIRONMENT CANADA HAS KEPT VERY

00:19:22.417 --> 00:19:30.417
-
QUIET.

00:19:43.792 --> 00:19:45.500
-
THERE WAS A CONFERENCE HERE

00:19:45.501 --> 00:19:47.708
-
THREE WEEKS AGO. IN THE ROOM IN

00:19:47.709 --> 00:19:49.917
-
FRONT OF ME I HAD HEALTH CANADA,

00:19:49.918 --> 00:19:50.792
-
HEALTH ONTARIO, ENVIRONMENT

00:19:50.793 --> 00:19:51.998
-
MICHIGAN, ENVIRONMENT EPA AND

00:19:51.999 --> 00:19:53.374
-
THE MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH.

00:19:53.375 --> 00:19:55.998
-
AND I RAISED MY HAND AND I HAD A

00:19:55.999 --> 00:19:56.999
-
VERY SIMPLE QUESTION.

00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:58.999
-
I SAID TO THE PANEL, \"CAN YOU

00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:00.998
-
PLEASE TELL THE ROOM YOUR LATEST

00:20:00.999 --> 00:20:02.583
-
FINDINGS ON CHRONIC EXPOSURE TO

00:20:02.584 --> 00:20:03.917
-
DIESEL POLLUTION?\" SILENCE. I

00:20:03.918 --> 00:20:05.666
-
MEAN, UTTER SILENCE. NO ONE SAID

00:20:05.667 --> 00:20:05.999
-
ANYTHING.

00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:07.998
-
I SAID, \"WOULD YOU LIKE FOR ME

00:20:07.999 --> 00:20:09.625
-
TO REPEAT THE QUESTION?\" THE

00:20:09.626 --> 00:20:10.998
-
FACILITATOR SAID, \"NO, NO, NO,

00:20:10.999 --> 00:20:12.998
-
NO. THEY HEARD YOU.\" AT THE

00:20:12.999 --> 00:20:14.998
-
BREAK, A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WHO I

00:20:14.999 --> 00:20:17.166
-
DON\'T KNOW CAME UP TO ME AND

00:20:17.167 --> 00:20:18.998
-
WERE SHAKING MY HAND SAYING,

00:20:18.999 --> 00:20:19.999
-
\"THEY AVOIDED YOUR QUESTION.

00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:21.166
-
THEY DIDN\'T ANSWER YOUR

00:20:21.167 --> 00:20:22.998
-
QUESTION. \" AND I SAID, \" THEY

00:20:22.999 --> 00:20:24.416
-
DIDN\'T ANSWER IT BECAUSE THEY

00:20:24.417 --> 00:20:32.417
-
CAN\'T ANSWER IT.\"

00:20:36.999 --> 00:20:38.416
-
LET\'S BEAUTIFY THE

00:20:38.417 --> 00:20:40.082
-
DESTRUCTION OF THIS COUNTRY BY

00:20:40.083 --> 00:20:41.998
-
PUTTING SOME HAPPY PICTURES ON

00:20:41.999 --> 00:20:44.041
-
IT. FUELS CONTAIN OIL, BUT IT

00:20:44.042 --> 00:20:46.875
-
BLOWS ME AWAY HOW THEY MAKE IT

00:20:46.876 --> 00:20:48.583
-
LOOK BEAUTIFUL. LOOK AT THAT.

00:20:48.584 --> 00:20:50.833
-
ISN\'T THAT A GREAT SCENE? DON\'T

00:20:50.834 --> 00:20:52.500
-
YOU WISH WINDSOR LOOKED LIKE

00:20:52.501 --> 00:20:54.791
-
THAT? LOOK AT THAT SUN. MAN,

00:20:54.792 --> 00:20:57.041
-
I\'VE NEVER SEEN A SUN LIKE THAT.

A NOTHING RESPONSE. WELL,

THE REGION WAS GIVEN A HARD TIME

-
UH, THE SPIRIT OF THE HOUSE

00:22:04.209 --> 00:22:05.998
-
WOULD BE TO BAN OR INVESTIGATE

00:22:05.999 --> 00:22:07.208
-
BANNING, UH, CHEMICALS AND

00:22:07.209 --> 00:22:08.998
-
TOXINS THAT HAD, UH, PROBABLE

00:22:08.999 --> 00:22:09.999
-
CAUSES RELATED TO ENVIRONMENTAL

00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:11.041

CONTAMINANTS AND HUMAN HEALTH.

00:22:11.042 --> 00:22:12.998
-
UM...

00:22:12.999 --> 00:22:13.999
-
BUT IT WAS AN INVESTIGATIVE

00:22:13.999 --> 00:22:14.999

PROCESS TO HELP COMMUNITIES

00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:16.208

RESPIRATORY DISEASES, UM... YOU

00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:21.583
-
KNOW, EFFECTS LIKE THE SIDNEY...

00:22:21.584 --> 00:22:22.501
-
SO WHAT HAPPENED?

00:22:22.502 --> 00:22:23.708
-
THE DEBATES WERE INTERESTING

00:22:23.709 --> 00:22:24.998
-
DURING THE TIME. I HAD SOME

00:22:24.999 --> 00:22:26.666
-
MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE SAY THAT I

00:22:26.667 --> 00:22:27.998
-
WAS TRYING TO BAN SKUNKS BECAUSE

00:22:27.999 --> 00:22:28.999
-
THEY COULD BE CONSIDERED AN

00:22:28.999 --> 00:22:29.999
-
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINANT. THE

00:22:29.999 --> 00:22:30.918
-
OUTRAGEOUS ACCUSATIONS OF SOME

00:22:30.919 --> 00:22:31.999
-
OF THE MEMBERS DURING THIS, UH,

00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:33.249
-
PERIOD WERE PHENOMENAL AND, UH,

00:22:33.250 --> 00:22:34.875
-
SHOWED THE IGNORANCE OF WHAT THE

00:22:34.876 --> 00:22:35.998
-
- YOU KNOW, THE ISSUES REALLY

00:22:35.999 --> 00:22:37.583
-
ARE AND THE EFFECTS ON HUMAN

00:22:37.584 --> 00:22:42.791
-
HEALTH.

00:22:42.792 --> 00:22:44.666
-
GOVERNMENT REGULATORS MAY NOT

00:22:44.667 --> 00:22:47.249
-
WANT TO REVEAL WHAT THEY KNOW OR

00:22:47.250 --> 00:22:48.998
-
DON\'T KNOW ABOUT CHRONIC

00:22:48.999 --> 00:22:50.998
-
EXPOSURE TO DIESEL. BUT I

00:22:50.999 --> 00:22:52.875
-
DISCOVER LEO\'S NOT THE ONLY

00:22:52.876 --> 00:22:54.208
-
WINDSORITE WORRIED ABOUT THE

00:22:54.209 --> 00:22:56.166
-
AIR, AND FOR GOOD REASON.

00:22:56.167 --> 00:22:58.998
-
AT LEAST 50 PER CENT OF THE

00:22:58.999 --> 00:23:00.998
-
LOCAL POLLUTION HERE COMES FROM

00:23:00.999 --> 00:23:02.041
-
DETROIT\'S INDUSTRIAL EMISSIONS.

00:23:02.042 --> 00:23:04.625
-
BY THE TIME IT MIXES WITH

00:23:04.626 --> 00:23:05.999
-
WINDSOR\'S OWN EMISSIONS FROM

00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:07.291
-
INDUSTRY AND TRANSPORTATION,

00:23:07.292 --> 00:23:14.998
-
YOU\'VE GOT A TYPICAL TOXIC SOUP.

00:23:14.999 --> 00:23:16.998
-
IT\'S A FACT NOT LOST ON LOCAL

00:23:16.999 --> 00:23:17.999
-
ENVIRONMENTALISTS WHO HOST A

00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:19.998
-
SPECIAL TOUR FOR A GROWING BODY

00:23:19.999 --> 00:23:27.999
-
OF CONCERNED CITIZENS.

00:23:28.709 --> 00:23:30.917
-
HOW MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE

00:23:30.918 --> 00:23:32.666
-
THAT LIVE IN THE STATES? ALL

00:23:32.667 --> 00:23:34.416
-
RIGHT. ALSO, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE

00:23:34.417 --> 00:23:36.998
-
HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME? OH,

00:23:36.999 --> 00:23:40.708
-
BOY. ALL RIGHT. THE FOOD\'S GOOD.

00:23:40.709 --> 00:23:41.209
-
AND WE\'RE GONNA LEARN WHAT IS

00:23:41.210 --> 00:23:42.708
-
GOING RIGHT AND ALSO WHAT\'S

00:23:42.709 --> 00:23:50.709
-
GOING WRONG.

00:23:59.667 --> 00:24:01.249
-
YOU SMELL THE OLD FACTORY AND

00:24:01.250 --> 00:24:02.998
-
YOU LIKE TO THINK, \"OH, WELL. IT

00:24:02.999 --> 00:24:03.999
-
CAN\'T BE THAT BAD.\" YOU KNOW.

00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:05.082
-
\"THEY WOULDN\'T LET THAT STUFF BE

00:24:05.083 --> 00:24:06.998
-
SPEWN INTO THE AIR IF IT WAS

00:24:06.999 --> 00:24:08.998
-
GOING TO CAUSE ANY REALLY BAD

00:24:08.999 --> 00:24:11.875
-
EFFECTS.\" AND I THINK THAT\'S

00:24:11.876 --> 00:24:14.458
-
WHAT WE\'RE ALL DOING, YOU KNOW?

00:24:14.459 --> 00:24:16.458
-
MINIMIZING AND DENYING WHAT\'S

00:24:16.459 --> 00:24:17.998
-
GOING ON BECAUSE YOU JUST THINK

00:24:17.999 --> 00:24:19.708
-
THAT SOMEONE ELSE IS LOOKING OUT

00:24:19.709 --> 00:24:21.500
-
FOR YOU AND I REALLY DON\'T THINK

00:24:21.501 --> 00:24:25.998
-
ANYONE IS. IT\'S SAD BUT TRUE.

00:24:25.999 --> 00:24:27.998
-
THAT SENSE OF NO ONE REALLY

00:24:27.999 --> 00:24:29.998
-
LOOKING OUT FOR US IS STRONG.

00:24:29.999 --> 00:24:31.291
-
ESPECIALLY WHEN I KEPT HEARING

00:24:31.292 --> 00:24:33.082
-
PEOPLE TALK ABOUT AN OLD DETROIT

00:24:33.083 --> 00:24:34.998
-
FACTORY, A STEEL MILL WITH A

00:24:34.999 --> 00:24:37.082
-
VERY STRANGE NAME.

00:24:37.083 --> 00:24:37.999
-
THAT\'S ZUG ISLAND.

00:24:37.999 --> 00:24:38.834
-
ZUG ISLAND, YEAH.

00:24:38.835 --> 00:24:46.166
-
YEAH.

00:24:46.167 --> 00:24:50.374
-
COMPARED IT TO MORDOR.

00:24:50.375 --> 00:24:53.041
-
BEHIND ME, I BELIEVE WE HAVE

00:24:53.042 --> 00:24:55.041
-
ZUG ISLAND. YOU\'RE PROBABLY FIVE

00:24:55.042 --> 00:24:57.998
-
MILES WEST OR SO OF THE BRIDGE

00:24:57.999 --> 00:25:00.500
-
RIGHT NOW. IT\'S - IT\'S BURNING

00:25:00.501 --> 00:25:02.583
-
24/7 CONSTANTLY, 365 DAYS A

00:25:02.584 --> 00:25:10.584
-
YEAR. IT SURE GETS NOISY.

00:25:12.667 --> 00:25:14.583
-
LEO\'S QUEST FOR ANSWERS ON

00:25:14.584 --> 00:25:16.998
-
AIR QUALITY HAS LED HIM TO MAKE

00:25:16.999 --> 00:25:18.416
-
SOME INTERESTING FRIENDS - ONE

00:25:18.417 --> 00:25:19.998
-
OF WHOM HEADS UP AN

00:25:19.999 --> 00:25:20.876
-
ENVIRONMENTAL ONCOLOGY

00:25:20.877 --> 00:25:22.875
-
INSTITUTE, ONE OF THE FIRST OF

00:25:22.876 --> 00:25:27.625
-
ITS KIND.

00:25:27.626 --> 00:25:28.998
-
WE ARE WORKING WITH

00:25:28.999 --> 00:25:29.999
-
COLLEAGUES WHO ARE PHYSICIANS,

00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:31.500
-
WHO ARE TREATING PEOPLE WITH

00:25:31.501 --> 00:25:32.998
-
CANCER AND THEY\'RE SAYING, \"WAIT

00:25:32.999 --> 00:25:34.666
-
A MINUTE. WHAT\'S GOING ON HERE?

00:25:34.667 --> 00:25:36.208
-
WHY ARE WE SEEING YOUNGER AND

00:25:36.209 --> 00:25:37.833
-
YOUNGER CASES OF BRAIN TUMOURS?

00:25:37.834 --> 00:25:39.875
-
WHY ARE WE SEEING MORE CASES OF

00:25:39.876 --> 00:25:42.625
-
CHILDHOOD CANCER?\"

00:25:42.626 --> 00:25:44.998
-
WE NOW HAVE DATA, THOUGH, FROM

00:25:44.999 --> 00:25:46.998
-
STUDIES IN SAO PAULO AND STUDIES

00:25:46.999 --> 00:25:48.998
-
IN MEXICO AND STUDIES IN

00:25:48.999 --> 00:25:50.998
-
BRUSSELS THAT CHILDREN WHO GROW

00:25:50.999 --> 00:25:52.998
-
UP IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THE

00:25:52.999 --> 00:25:55.291
-
AIR POLLUTION IS JUST A LITTLE

00:25:55.292 --> 00:25:57.708
-
BIT WORSE THAN OTHER AREAS ARE

00:25:57.709 --> 00:25:59.998
-
AT AN INCREASED RISK OF REDUCED

00:25:59.999 --> 00:26:01.998
-
LUNG FUNCTION, HAVE MORE DAMAGE

00:26:01.999 --> 00:26:03.833
-
TO THEIR BASIC BUILDING BLOCKS

00:26:03.834 --> 00:26:05.998
-
OF LIVING MATTER. THEIR DNA IS

00:26:05.999 --> 00:26:06.834
-
ACTUALLY DAMAGED.

00:26:06.835 --> 00:26:08.625
-
PARTICLES FROM DIESEL ARE THE

00:26:08.626 --> 00:26:09.998
-
WORST. THEY\'RE THE SMALLEST,

00:26:09.999 --> 00:26:12.249
-
THEY\'RE THE FINEST, LIKE SOME OF

00:26:12.250 --> 00:26:13.998
-
THE AROMATIC MATERIALS. PERHAPS

00:26:13.999 --> 00:26:15.875
-
BENZENE, AND WE KNOW THAT

00:26:15.876 --> 00:26:16.998
-
CIGARETTE SMOKE CONTAINS

00:26:16.999 --> 00:26:18.917
-
BENZENE. THERE\'S NO DEBATE THAT

00:26:18.918 --> 00:26:19.998
-
BENZENE CAUSES CANCER.

00:26:19.999 --> 00:26:21.998
-
WE KNOW THAT CIGARETTE SMOKE

00:26:21.999 --> 00:26:23.208
-
CONTAINS FORMALDEHYDE, WE KNOW

00:26:23.209 --> 00:26:24.998
-
IT CONTAINS BUTADIENE, CADMIUM,

00:26:24.999 --> 00:26:26.833
-
RADIATION. NOW, ALL OF THOSE

00:26:26.834 --> 00:26:28.041
-
THINGS HAVE BEEN CLEARLY

00:26:28.042 --> 00:26:29.998
-
ESTABLISHED TO CAUSE CANCER AND

00:26:29.999 --> 00:26:32.374
-
A BUNCH OF OTHER DISEASES, SO

00:26:32.375 --> 00:26:34.208
-
WHY WOULD WE TOLERATE EXPOSING

00:26:34.209 --> 00:26:36.666
-
OUR CHILDREN AND OURSELVES TO AN

00:26:36.667 --> 00:26:38.500
-
ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY CAN BE

00:26:38.501 --> 00:26:40.416
-
EXPOSED TO WHAT\'S IN CIGARETTE

00:26:40.417 --> 00:26:42.291
-
SMOKE, KNOWING THAT THOSE SAME

00:26:42.292 --> 00:26:47.791
-
THINGS CAUSE CANCER?

00:26:47.792 --> 00:26:49.500
-
DR. DAVIS GREW UP IN A

00:26:49.501 --> 00:26:50.583
-
PENNSYLVANIAN STEEL TOWN CALLED

00:26:50.584 --> 00:26:51.998
-
DONORA, WHERE SHE WAS FORCED TO

00:26:51.999 --> 00:26:53.875
-
LEARN EARLY WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN

00:26:53.876 --> 00:26:56.082
-
THE AIR GOES BAD.

00:26:56.083 --> 00:26:58.500
-
WE USED TO PLAY AND WE USED

00:26:58.501 --> 00:27:00.166
-
TO CALL IT THE, UH... DONORA

00:27:00.167 --> 00:27:01.374
-
MEASLES, BECAUSE YOU\'D GET

00:27:01.375 --> 00:27:02.998
-
COVERED WITH BLACK SOOTY STUFF

00:27:02.999 --> 00:27:04.625
-
WHEN YOU PLAYED OUTSIDE AND OF

00:27:04.626 --> 00:27:05.417
-
COURSE, EVERYBODY PLAYED

00:27:05.418 --> 00:27:06.998
-
OUTSIDE. ALL THE WAY DOWN

00:27:06.999 --> 00:27:09.998
-
THERE...

00:27:09.999 --> 00:27:11.625
-
AND THEN ONE DAY THAT \"SOOTY

00:27:11.626 --> 00:27:12.998
-
STUFF\" FROM THE STEEL MILLS GOT

00:27:12.999 --> 00:27:13.999
-
SO BAD THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY

00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:17.625
-
STARTED CHOKING ON IT.

00:27:17.626 --> 00:27:18.917
-
THOSE HILLS, NOTHING GREW-ON THEM.

00:27:18.918 --> 00:27:20.998
-
I CAME HOME ONE DAY AND SAID,

00:27:20.999 --> 00:27:23.082
-
\"MOM, I READ IN A BOOK AT SCHOOL

00:27:23.083 --> 00:27:25.249
-
THAT A TOWN WITH THE SAME NAME

00:27:25.250 --> 00:27:26.998
-
AS OURS WAS POLLUTED.\" AND SHE

00:27:26.999 --> 00:27:28.998
-
SAID, \"REMEMBER HOW WE USED TO

00:27:28.999 --> 00:27:30.416
-
HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE

00:27:30.417 --> 00:27:31.998
-
HEADLIGHTS ON IN THE AFTERNOON?

00:27:31.999 --> 00:27:33.998
-
REMEMBER HOW WE USED TO HAVE TO

00:27:33.999 --> 00:27:35.998
-
WASH THE WALLS DOWN EVERY COUPLE

00:27:35.999 --> 00:27:36.417
-
OF WEEKS?\"

00:27:36.418 --> 00:27:38.082
-
I GUESS TODAY THEY\'D CALL IT

00:27:38.083 --> 00:27:39.998
-
POLLUTION, BUT THEN IT WAS JUST

00:27:39.999 --> 00:27:41.998
-
A LIVING. 18 PEOPLE DROPPED DEAD

00:27:41.999 --> 00:27:46.999
-
IN 12 HOURS.

00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:48.458
-
YOU COULD SAY NO TO DANGEROUS

00:27:48.459 --> 00:27:49.998
-
SEX, YOU CAN SAY NO TO CIGARETTE

00:27:49.999 --> 00:27:51.625
-
SMOKING, BUT YOU CAN\'T SAY NO TO

00:27:51.626 --> 00:27:56.374
-
BREATHING.

00:27:56.375 --> 00:27:58.791
-
SO WHY ARE CHILDREN MORE

00:27:58.792 --> 00:28:00.082
-
VULNERABLE THAN THEIR PARENTS?

00:28:00.083 --> 00:28:01.998
-
WE KNOW THEIR GROWING BODIES,

00:28:01.999 --> 00:28:04.416
-
POUND FOR POUND, EAT, DRINK AND

00:28:04.417 --> 00:28:06.249
-
BREATHE MUCH MORE THAN ADULTS,

00:28:06.250 --> 00:28:08.708
-
SPONGING UP TOXINS DAILY. BY THE

00:28:08.709 --> 00:28:10.998
-
TIME THEY\'RE AGE 10 LIKE MY

00:28:10.999 --> 00:28:12.458
-
DAUGHTER, THEY\'RE ALREADY BEEN

00:28:12.459 --> 00:28:14.291
-
EXPOSED TO KNOWN TOXINS IN

00:28:14.292 --> 00:28:15.998
-
PLASTIC BOTTLES, EMISSIONS FROM

00:28:15.999 --> 00:28:17.998
-
TAIL PIPES, SMOKE STACKS AND

00:28:17.999 --> 00:28:19.249
-
POWER PLANTS, PESTICIDES ON

00:28:19.250 --> 00:28:20.998
-
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, FLAME

00:28:20.999 --> 00:28:22.374
-
RETARDANTS ON THEIR COMPUTERS

00:28:22.375 --> 00:28:24.208
-
AND TOYS, STAIN REPELLENTS ON

00:28:24.209 --> 00:28:26.666
-
THEIR CLOTHES - ALL KNOWN TO

00:28:26.667 --> 00:28:28.583
-
DISTURB THE GROWTH OF LUNGS,

00:28:28.584 --> 00:28:30.458
-
BRAIN AND ENDOCRINE SYSTEMS IN

00:28:30.459 --> 00:28:32.374
-
WAYS LINKED TO AUTISM, ASTHMA,

00:28:32.375 --> 00:28:33.625
-
NEUROLOGICAL DEFICITS, EVEN

00:28:33.626 --> 00:28:36.998
-
CANCER.

00:28:36.999 --> 00:28:39.291
-
AND THAT DAMAGE WILL NOT BE

00:28:39.292 --> 00:28:40.917
-
EXPRESSED UNTIL YEARS LATER.

00:28:40.918 --> 00:28:42.583
-
THAT\'S THE TICKING TIME BOMB

00:28:42.584 --> 00:28:44.998
-
THAT WE FACE. ONE OUT OF TEN

00:28:44.999 --> 00:28:46.917
-
WOMEN GET BREAST CANCER BECAUSE

00:28:46.918 --> 00:28:48.998
-
THEY WERE BORN WITH LOUSY GENES.

00:28:48.999 --> 00:28:50.708
-
EVERYBODY ELSE GETS IT BECAUSE

00:28:50.709 --> 00:28:52.875
-
THEIR GENES GET DAMAGED BY THE

00:28:52.876 --> 00:28:53.998
-
ENVIRONMENT AFTER THEY\'RE BORN.

00:28:53.999 --> 00:28:55.998
-
THAT\'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING

00:28:55.999 --> 00:28:56.999
-
WE CAN SAY.

00:28:57.000 --> 00:28:59.998
-
AND IF - LOOK AT THIS. THIS IS

00:28:59.999 --> 00:29:01.166
-
IDENTICAL TWINS, OKAY? WHEN

00:29:01.167 --> 00:29:02.998
-
THEY\'RE THREE YEARS OLD THEIR

00:29:02.999 --> 00:29:05.500
-
CHROMOSOMES 1, 3, 12 AND 17 ARE

00:29:05.501 --> 00:29:06.998
-
IDENTICAL, OKAY? YOU WOULD

00:29:06.999 --> 00:29:08.791
-
EXPECT THAT. THEY\'RE MADE FROM

00:29:08.792 --> 00:29:10.458
-
THE SAME EGG. IDENTICAL TWINS,

00:29:10.459 --> 00:29:10.999
-
OKAY?

00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:12.998
-
NOW, LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENS TO

00:29:12.999 --> 00:29:15.458
-
THEM BY THE TIME THEY\'RE 50. YOU

00:29:15.459 --> 00:29:17.791
-
WOULDN\'T EVEN KNOW THEY WERE THE

00:29:17.792 --> 00:29:23.875
-
SAME PERSON.

00:29:23.876 --> 00:29:25.082
-
MEANWHILE, BACK IN WINDSOR,

00:29:25.083 --> 00:29:26.875
-
PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO WONDER

00:29:26.876 --> 00:29:28.082
-
WHETHER THEY HAVE ALL THE

00:29:28.083 --> 00:29:29.998
-
NECESSARY TOOLS IN PLACE TO HELP

00:29:29.999 --> 00:29:31.998
-
PREVENT THE KINDS OF DAMAGE LEO,

00:29:31.999 --> 00:29:33.416

KELLY AND DR. DAVIS ARE

00:29:33.417 --> 00:29:34.833

CONCERNED ABOUT. PEOPLE LIKE

TERRY.

00:29:36.999 --> 00:29:38.291
-
I WANT TO TELL PEOPLE... THE

00:29:38.292 --> 00:29:39.998

QUALITY MONITORS. WELL,

00:29:41.667 --> 00:29:42.998
-
POLLUTION KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES SO

00:29:42.999 --> 00:29:44.291
-
THE LITTLE PARTICULATE MATTERS

00:29:44.292 --> 00:29:45.666
-
THAT EVERYBODY IS CONCENTRATING

00:29:45.667 --> 00:29:47.917
-
ON DOES NOT, YOU KNOW, SAY, \"OH,

00:29:47.918 --> 00:29:49.998
-
I\'M IN CANADA. I\'M GOING TO GO

00:29:49.999 --> 00:29:51.999

-
THE CITY OF WINDSOR KNOWS IT HAS

00:29:58.417 --> 00:30:00.208
-
40 MONITORS IN THE CITY. THEY\'VE

00:30:00.209 --> 00:30:02.998
-
TURNED THEM OFF. I GET UP IN THE

00:30:02.999 --> 00:30:04.791
-
MORNING AND I DON\'T SAY, \"OH,

-
IT\'S A RAINY MORNING, IT\'S A

00:30:06.626 --> 00:30:08.458

FOGGY MORNING.\" I HAVE TO SAY,

00:30:08.459 --> 00:30:10.291
-
\"IT\'S A BENZENE MORNING, IT\'S A

-
SULPHUR MORNING, IT\'S A CHLORINE

00:30:11.999 --> 00:30:16.998
-
MORNING.\"

00:30:16.999 --> 00:30:18.583
-
PRESSURE FROM THE ACTIVISTS

00:30:18.584 --> 00:30:20.166

SHOULD OR COULD BE?

00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:50.875

SO DO YOU WANT TO TALK A LITTLE

00:31:08.999 --> 00:31:09.999

THERE WAS A LOT OF CONCERN AND A

00:31:17.999 --> 00:31:19.998

-
INAPPROPRIATE AND COMPLETELY

00:31:25.460 --> 00:31:26.998
-
UNACCEPTABLE AND NOT AN ASPECT

00:31:26.999 --> 00:31:29.208

THAT WE\'RE WILLING TO TAKE ON AS

00:31:29.209 --> 00:31:31.998

A COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATION.

00:31:31.999 --> 00:31:33.166

BON JOUR... (IN FRENCH)...

00:34:17.459 --> 00:34:18.833

LE-BIZARD, A MONTREAL SUBURB

00:34:19.999 --> 00:34:21.917

KNOWN MORE FOR ITS FOUR GOLF

00:34:21.918 --> 00:34:22.998

COURSES THAN ITS CHILDHOOD

00:34:22.999 --> 00:34:24.583
-
CANCER RATES, WHICH ARE PRETTY

00:34:24.584 --> 00:34:26.374
-
HIGH - FOUR TIMES THE QUEBEC

00:34:26.375 --> 00:34:28.166
-
RATE AND TEN TIMES THE NATIONAL

00:34:28.167 --> 00:34:29.998
-
RATE. FOR JEAN-DOMENIC, THIS WAS

00:34:29.999 --> 00:34:33.791
-
A CLUSTER.

00:34:33.792 --> 00:34:41.792
>

00:34:45.999 --> 00:34:48.583
-
JEAN-DOMENIC WAS SO SICK WITH

00:34:48.584 --> 00:34:49.998
-
NON-HODGKINS LYMPHOMA, HIS

00:34:49.999 --> 00:34:51.998
-
PARENTS HAD TO PETITION THE

00:34:51.999 --> 00:34:53.998

GOVERNMENT FOR ACCESS TO

00:34:53.999 --> 00:34:55.998

EXPERIMENTAL DRUGS TO SAVE HIS

00:34:55.999 --> 00:34:59.875
-
LIFE. AND IT WORKED... FOR NOW.

00:34:59.876 --> 00:35:00.998

THIS IS JEAN-DOMENIC WANTS TO

00:35:00.999 --> 00:35:01.999

SAVE THE PLANET, AND THIS IS

00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:03.500
-
WHAT I WANT TO SHOW YOU, YOU

00:35:03.501 --> 00:35:07.416
-
KNOW? HE WAS ONLY TEN YEARS OLD.

00:35:07.417 --> 00:35:09.583
-
HE GAINED ENOUGH STRENGTH TO

00:35:09.584 --> 00:35:10.625
-
RAISE SOME UNCOMFORTABLE

00:35:10.626 --> 00:35:12.249
-
QUESTIONS ABOUT IS CANCER AND

00:35:12.250 --> 00:35:12.999

PESTICIDE EXPOSURE.

00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:21.000
>

00:35:23.999 --> 00:35:25.166
-
I DISCOVERED

00:35:25.167 --> 00:35:27.291
-
THAT MY FORM OF CANCER,

00:35:27.292 --> 00:35:28.998
-
NON-HODGKINS LYMPHOMA, IS LINKED

00:35:28.999 --> 00:35:31.998
-
TO THE USE OF A CHEMICAL CALLED

00:35:31.999 --> 00:35:35.082
-
2,4-D.

00:35:35.083 --> 00:35:36.666
-
I PUT 2,4-DS, I PUT

00:35:36.667 --> 00:35:39.041
-
INSECTICIDES, I USE HERBICIDE

00:35:39.042 --> 00:35:42.998
-
2,4-D WITH TRI-KILL, KILLEX.

00:35:42.999 --> 00:35:44.625
-
IT\'S - IT WAS SUPPOSED SAFE

00:35:44.626 --> 00:35:49.666
-
AND NOT DANGEROUS, NO PROBLEM.

00:35:49.667 --> 00:35:50.998
-
THE - THE GOVERNMENT SAID THE

00:35:50.999 --> 00:35:51.999
-
SAME THING. \"YES, IT\'S

00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:53.998
-
DANGEROUS, BUT NOT FOR YOU. IT\'S

00:35:53.999 --> 00:35:56.998
-
NOT A PROBLEM FOR YOU.\"

00:35:56.999 --> 00:35:58.998
-
THE PESTICIDE INDUSTRY TOOK

00:35:58.999 --> 00:36:00.998

THE FIGHT AGAINST THEIR PRODUCTS

00:36:00.999 --> 00:36:02.998

TO THE SUPREME COURT AND LOST.

00:36:02.999 --> 00:36:04.998

CANADA... BUT STILL NO

00:36:07.918 --> 00:36:10.998

NATIONWIDE BAN.

00:36:10.999 --> 00:36:12.666
-
THE CITY\'S MAYOR AT THAT

00:36:12.667 --> 00:36:13.667
-
TIME, THEY BELIEVED THAT

00:36:13.668 --> 00:36:14.998
-
PESTICIDE WERE SAFE BECAUSE THE

00:36:14.999 --> 00:36:16.791
-
INDUSTRY - THERE WAS A BIG LOBBY

00:36:16.792 --> 00:36:18.041
-
FROM THE GOLF COURSES AND ALSO

00:36:18.042 --> 00:36:19.500
-
FROM THE INDUSTRY TELLING THAT

00:36:19.501 --> 00:36:20.998
-
YOU CAN DRINK PESTICIDES IN A

00:36:20.999 --> 00:36:26.791
-
CUP OF COFFEE.

00:36:26.792 --> 00:36:28.917
-
AFTER DECADES OF USE IN

00:36:28.918 --> 00:36:30.583
-
CANADA, IN 2000, 2,4-D WAS

00:36:30.584 --> 00:36:32.708
-
SUBJECT TO REVIEW. A GOOD THING,

00:36:32.709 --> 00:36:34.374

TOO. AGENT ORANGE, A DEADLY

00:36:34.375 --> 00:36:35.999

-
COMPRISED OF BOTH DIOXIN AND

00:36:39.834 --> 00:36:41.999
-
2,4-D. BUT ON THE VERY DAY OF

00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:43.082
-
JEAN-DOMENIC\'S ARRIVAL IN

00:36:43.083 --> 00:36:45.291
-
WINDSOR, 2,4-D WAS BACK IN THE

00:36:45.292 --> 00:36:47.500

NEWS. IT WAS DEEMED SAFE AFTER

00:36:47.501 --> 00:36:51.998
-
ALL. WELL, SORT OF.

00:36:51.999 --> 00:36:54.998
-
WELL, WHAT I HAVE IN MY HAND

00:36:54.999 --> 00:36:56.998
-
IS A MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET

00:36:56.999 --> 00:36:59.708
-
FOR 2,4-D. THIS IS OFF THE WEB.

00:36:59.709 --> 00:37:02.082
-
IT WAS TAKEN OFF THE WEB TONIGHT

00:37:02.083 --> 00:37:03.998
-
AT 6:56. THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT

00:37:03.999 --> 00:37:06.041
-
SAID THAT THERE IS NO HAZARD.

00:37:06.042 --> 00:37:08.875
-
WELL, LET ME READ TO YOU WHAT

00:37:08.876 --> 00:37:10.583
-
THE HAZARD IS. 2,4-D I

00:37:10.584 --> 00:37:12.291
-
CONSIDERED HIGHLY TOXIC DUE TO

00:37:12.292 --> 00:37:14.625
-
ITS HAZARD TO THE EYES. WORKERS

00:37:14.626 --> 00:37:16.917
-
SHOULD WEAR GOGGLES OR A FACE

00:37:16.918 --> 00:37:18.082
-
SHIELD, PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND

00:37:18.083 --> 00:37:19.249
-
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WHEN

00:37:19.250 --> 00:37:20.998
-
HANDLING 2,4-D PRODUCTS. AVOID

00:37:20.999 --> 00:37:22.708
-
BREATHING VAPOUR OR THE MIST.

00:37:22.709 --> 00:37:23.998
-
USE A NIOSH-APPROVED RESPIRATOR

00:37:23.999 --> 00:37:25.625
-
FOR PROTECTION FROM PESTICIDE

00:37:25.626 --> 00:37:26.998
-
MIST, AND THAT\'S THE

00:37:26.999 --> 00:37:27.918
-
FULL-CARTRIDGE RESPIRATOR.

00:37:27.919 --> 00:37:30.249
-
YOU SEE A LOT OF HEADLINES THAT

00:37:30.250 --> 00:37:31.999
-
PESTICIDES KILL PEOPLE, SO DO

00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:33.998
-
THE RIGHT THING FOLKS. LET\'S

00:37:33.999 --> 00:37:36.041
-
PASS THIS BILL. NO PESTICIDES IN

00:37:36.042 --> 00:37:41.208

THE CITY OF WINDSOR. THANK YOU.

00:37:41.209 --> 00:37:43.998
-
IT TOOK JD SIX YEARS FOR HIS

00:37:43.999 --> 00:37:45.833
-
COUNCILLORS TO LISTEN TO HIM AND

00:37:45.834 --> 00:37:47.998
-
ACT TO BAN THE USE OF COSMETIC

00:37:47.999 --> 00:37:49.998
-
USE OF PESTICIDES. I HAVE AN

00:37:49.999 --> 00:37:50.999
-
EIGHT-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO\'S

00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:52.708
-
SEVEN YEARS POST-TREATMENT FOR A

00:37:52.709 --> 00:37:54.041
-
FORM OF LEUKAEMIA LINKED TO

00:37:54.042 --> 00:37:55.458
-
HERBICIDES AND PESTICIDES. I\'M

00:37:55.459 --> 00:37:57.875
-
NOT GOING TO WAIT SIX YEARS FOR

00:37:57.876 --> 00:38:01.374
-
ACTION.

00:38:01.375 --> 00:38:02.998
-
THERE\'S SUCH MOUNTING

00:38:02.999 --> 00:38:04.875
-
EVIDENCE OF THE LINK BETWEEN

00:38:04.876 --> 00:38:06.082
-
CANCER AND PESTICIDES AND

00:38:06.083 --> 00:38:07.998
-
HERBICIDES THAT I LEARN EVEN

00:38:07.999 --> 00:38:09.082
-
CUSTOMARY SCEPTICS ARE

00:38:09.083 --> 00:38:10.917
-
CONCERNED, LIKE DR. GREENBERG.

00:38:10.918 --> 00:38:12.291
-
REMEMBER HIM?

00:38:12.292 --> 00:38:14.082
-
PESTICIDES CLEARLY HAVE BEEN

00:38:14.083 --> 00:38:15.998
-
DEMONSTRATED TO HAVE ADVERSE

00:38:15.999 --> 00:38:17.082
-
HEALTH CONSEQUENCES. NOBODY

00:38:17.083 --> 00:38:19.583
-
COULD ARGUE THAT. THAT NEEDS TO

00:38:19.584 --> 00:38:26.625
-
BE A MATTER OF PUBLIC POLICY.

00:38:26.626 --> 00:38:34.626
[♪♪]

00:38:44.918 --> 00:38:46.500
-
I WONDER WHAT DR. GREENBERG

00:38:46.501 --> 00:38:47.998
-
WOULD MAKE OF WINDSOR\'S HIGH

00:38:47.999 --> 00:38:49.998
-
DISEASE RATES AND IF HE HAD ANY

00:38:49.999 --> 00:38:51.374
-
DOUBT ABOUT THE POSSIBLE HEALTH

00:38:51.375 --> 00:38:53.416
-
EFFECTS OF KIDS, FROM A RANGE OF

00:38:53.417 --> 00:38:54.998
-
OTHER CONTAMINANTS? HE COULD GO

00:38:54.999 --> 00:38:56.791
-
NOT FAR FROM HERE TO ANOTHER

00:38:56.792 --> 00:38:58.875
-
GREAT LAKES CITY - A CITY THAT

00:38:58.876 --> 00:39:06.876

NO, NOT THAT BLOB.

00:39:19.626 --> 00:39:22.416
-
WHAT\'S THE BLOB?

00:39:22.417 --> 00:39:23.998
-
WELL, IT WAS THIS, UM, BUNCH

00:39:23.999 --> 00:39:24.999
-
OF CHEMICALS THAT WERE FOUND

00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:26.998
-
JUST LIKE A BLOB OF GEL, AND IT

00:39:26.999 --> 00:39:28.291
-
WAS FOUND IN THE ST. CLAIR

00:39:28.292 --> 00:39:29.999

RIVER.

00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:32.374

THE BLOB IN QUESTION IS

00:39:32.375 --> 00:39:33.500

THIS BLACK STICKY STUFF THEY

-
CALL \"THE BLOB\" IS PROBABLY A

00:39:45.999 --> 00:39:46.999
-
BLESSING BECAUSE IT HAS FORCED

00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:48.998
-
US TO ATTEND TO WHAT MAY BE THE

00:39:48.999 --> 00:39:49.999

WORST POLLUTION CANADA HAS EVER

00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:57.458

KNOWN.

00:39:57.459 --> 00:40:01.249

EXPANDED JUST LIKE THE ONE IN

00:41:49.417 --> 00:41:51.458
-
MY WIFE AND I TALK ABOUT IT

00:41:51.459 --> 00:41:52.998
-
REGULARLY. BY BRINING MY SON UP

00:41:52.999 --> 00:41:54.458
-
HERE, I KNOW HE\'S GONNA HAVE

00:41:54.459 --> 00:41:55.459
-
RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS, I KNOW

00:41:55.460 --> 00:41:56.875
-
HE\'S GONNA HAVE SKIN PROBLEMS,

00:41:56.876 --> 00:41:57.917
-
HE MAY BE DEVELOPMENTALLY

00:41:57.918 --> 00:41:59.208
-
CHALLENGED, HE MAY NOT HAVE HIS

00:41:59.209 --> 00:42:00.416
-
ORGANS DEVELOPED PROPERLY, ALL

00:42:00.417 --> 00:42:05.998
-
FROM GROWING UP WHERE WE LIVE.

00:42:05.999 --> 00:42:08.998
-
AND WHERE RON LIVES HAS SOME

00:42:08.999 --> 00:42:10.998
-
DISTINCT FEATURES. IT\'S A SMALL

00:42:10.999 --> 00:42:12.791
-
CHIPPEWA NATIVE RESERVE CALLED

00:42:12.792 --> 00:42:14.998
-
AAMJIWNAANG, THAT SITS RIGHT IN

00:42:14.999 --> 00:42:16.998
-
THE HEART OF SARNIA\'S \"CHEMICAL

00:42:16.999 --> 00:42:18.791
-
VALLEY.\" IT\'S A DISTINCTION

00:42:18.792 --> 00:42:20.998
-
THAT\'S COSTING THIS FATHER OF

00:42:20.999 --> 00:42:25.998
-
TWO A LOT OF SLEEPLESS NIGHTS.

00:42:25.999 --> 00:42:28.500
-
WHEN PEOPLE SAY, \"WHY DON\'T

00:42:28.501 --> 00:42:31.291
-
YOU JUST MOVE, I HAVE 423 DIRECT

00:42:31.292 --> 00:42:33.416
-
RELATIONS ON THIS RESERVE. IN

00:42:33.417 --> 00:42:35.998
-
THAT GRAVEYARD IS MY FATHER, MY

00:42:35.999 --> 00:42:36.834
-
GRANDFATHER, MY

00:42:36.834 --> 00:42:37.584
-
GREAT-GRANDFATHER, MY

00:42:37.585 --> 00:42:38.917
-
GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHER. I DON\'T

00:42:38.918 --> 00:42:41.208
-
WANT TO MOVE. I SHOULDN\'T HAVE

00:42:41.209 --> 00:42:49.209
-
TO MOVE.

00:42:50.999 --> 00:42:52.708
-
THE PROBLEM STARTED IN THE

00:42:52.709 --> 00:42:53.917
-
1950S WHEN THE RESERVES

00:42:53.918 --> 00:42:55.500
-
RESIDENTS SOLD OFF PARTS OF THE

00:42:55.501 --> 00:42:59.833
-
LAND TO INDUSTRY.

00:42:59.834 --> 00:43:01.998
-
THAT\'S \"CHEMICAL VALLEY.\"

00:43:01.999 --> 00:43:02.876
-
WHERE THE CRANE - YOU SEE

00:43:02.876 --> 00:43:03.375
-
THAT TALL CRANE STICKING OUT

00:43:03.375 --> 00:43:03.999
-
THERE?

00:43:03.999 --> 00:43:04.709
-
YEAH.

00:43:04.710 --> 00:43:05.791
-
THAT\'S WHERE...

00:43:05.792 --> 00:43:08.625
-
WOW.

00:43:08.626 --> 00:43:10.416
-
NOW THEY\'RE STUCK WITH SOME

00:43:10.417 --> 00:43:12.208
-
POWERFUL NEIGHBOURS - OVER 40

00:43:12.209 --> 00:43:14.666
-
PLANTS ALL PRESSING IN ON THE

00:43:14.667 --> 00:43:15.292
-
RESERVE\'S 10-KILOMETRE

00:43:15.293 --> 00:43:18.708
-
PERIMETER.

00:43:18.709 --> 00:43:20.249
-
THIS IS THE RESOURCE CENTRE,

00:43:20.250 --> 00:43:21.998
-
THE BLUE BUILDING, WHICH WAS OUR

00:43:21.999 --> 00:43:23.082
-
PRE-KINDERGARTEN BEFORE. NOT A

00:43:23.083 --> 00:43:27.625
-
GOOD LOCATION.

00:43:27.626 --> 00:43:29.917
-
ADA AND RON HAVE WORKED ON

00:43:29.918 --> 00:43:30.834
-
THE RESERVE\'S ENVIRONMENT

00:43:30.835 --> 00:43:32.166
-
COMMITTEE, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT

00:43:32.167 --> 00:43:33.583
-
WHAT IMPACT INDUSTRY\'S DAY-IN

00:43:33.584 --> 00:43:35.458
-
AND DAY-OUT EMISSIONS TO AIR AND

00:43:35.459 --> 00:43:37.374
-
WATER ARE HAVING ON THEIR HEALTH

00:43:37.375 --> 00:43:39.999
-
- ESPECIALLY THEIR KIDS.

00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:41.625
-
WE HAVE THE DAYCARE TEACHER

00:43:41.626 --> 00:43:42.998
-
ON FILM THERE TALKING ABOUT, YOU

00:43:42.999 --> 00:43:43.999
-
KNOW, SOMETIMES THEY WOULD HEAR

00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:45.998
-
- YOU KNOW, SEE A CLOUD OR A

00:43:45.999 --> 00:43:47.208
-
MUSHROOM CLOUD AND THEN THEY\'D

00:43:47.209 --> 00:43:50.500
-
JUST GET THE KIDS IN.

00:43:50.501 --> 00:43:51.209
-
WHEN DID HER DAYCARE HERE

00:43:51.210 --> 00:43:53.833
-
SHUT DOWN?

00:43:53.834 --> 00:43:55.500
-
I THINK IT WAS 2000, LIKE

00:43:55.501 --> 00:43:56.998
-
\'99/2000 WAS WHEN THEY BUILT THE

00:43:56.999 --> 00:44:00.998
-
NEW ONE.

00:44:00.999 --> 00:44:03.875
-
AT THE TIME, THERE WAS 70 PER

00:44:03.876 --> 00:44:06.082
-
CENT OF THE KIDS THERE HAD

00:44:06.083 --> 00:44:07.998
-
PUFFERS, HAD BREATHING PROBLEMS,

00:44:07.999 --> 00:44:10.374
-
SO INDUSTRY DID HELP TO COVER

00:44:10.375 --> 00:44:12.998
-
THE COST OF BUILDING A NEW

00:44:12.999 --> 00:44:15.458
-
BUILDING FOR US, AWAY FROM THE

00:44:15.459 --> 00:44:19.998
-
PLANT.

00:44:19.999 --> 00:44:20.999
-
WOW. MAYBE AWAY FROM ONE

00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:22.166
-
PLANT. BECAUSE THE FACT IS, NO

00:44:22.167 --> 00:44:23.416
-
MATTER WHERE YOU GO, THERE\'S NO

00:44:23.417 --> 00:44:27.291
-
REAL ESCAPE.

00:44:27.292 --> 00:44:29.833
-
YOU CAN\'T SEE SUN - OH, YEAH,

00:44:29.834 --> 00:44:31.458
-
YOU CAN SEE SOME SUNCORP STUFF

00:44:31.459 --> 00:44:33.082
-
RIGHT BEHIND THE TREE AND THE

00:44:33.083 --> 00:44:34.833
-
HYDRO TOWERS. AND THE DETROIT

00:44:34.834 --> 00:44:36.041
-
EDISON IS RIGHT BEHIND THAT

00:44:36.042 --> 00:44:37.833
-
OTHER TREE. THAT\'S FOR THE

00:44:37.834 --> 00:44:42.998
-
UNITED STATES.

00:44:42.999 --> 00:44:45.791
-
LAST YEAR WE GOT SOME RESULTS

00:44:45.792 --> 00:44:47.708
-
BACK FROM WATER TESTING THAT

00:44:47.709 --> 00:44:49.666
-
DESCRIBED THE LEVEL OF TOXICITY

00:44:49.667 --> 00:44:51.625
-
IN OUR WATERS AND THE

00:44:51.626 --> 00:44:52.999
-
RECOMMENDATIONS CAME FROM THE

00:44:53.000 --> 00:44:55.625
-
EXPERTS WHO SAID, \"DON\'T GO IN

00:44:55.626 --> 00:44:58.708
-
THE WATER AT ALL, EVER.\"

00:44:58.709 --> 00:45:00.708
-
AND FOR GOOD REASON. THE

00:45:00.709 --> 00:45:02.082
-
MERCURY LEVELS WERE 100 TIMES

00:45:02.083 --> 00:45:03.583
-
HIGHER THAN THE GOVERNMENT\'S

00:45:03.584 --> 00:45:04.999
-
SAFETY THRESHOLD AND TEN TIMES

00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:06.998
-
HIGHER FOR LEAD. AND THEY\'RE

00:45:06.999 --> 00:45:13.166
-
BOTH KNOWN DEVELOPMENTAL TOXINS.

00:45:13.167 --> 00:45:14.998
-
YOU HAVE TO TRACK THE

00:45:14.999 --> 00:45:15.626
-
ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT WITHIN

00:45:15.627 --> 00:45:16.998
-
THE GOVERNMENT FROM THE \'70S ON,

00:45:16.999 --> 00:45:18.708
-
THE DUMPING IN THE RIVER. THEY

00:45:18.709 --> 00:45:19.999
-
COULDN\'T DO THAT ANY MORE SO

00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:21.875
-
THEY CONVERT IT TO STEAM AND

00:45:21.876 --> 00:45:23.208
-
RELEASE IT INTO THE AIR. NOW

00:45:23.209 --> 00:45:24.998
-
IT\'S NOT GOING INTO THE RIVER

00:45:24.999 --> 00:45:28.998
-
AND IT\'S JUST FALLING ON US.

00:45:28.999 --> 00:45:30.791
-
SO INSTEAD OF US SOAKING IN IT,

00:45:30.792 --> 00:45:31.998
-
IN A RIVER, IT\'S GOING DIRECTLY

00:45:31.999 --> 00:45:33.875
-
INTO OUR LUNGS. AND IF YOU DO

00:45:33.876 --> 00:45:34.998
-
THE CAUSE AND EFFECT, YOU CAN

00:45:34.999 --> 00:45:35.999
-
SEE WHERE THE RESPIRATORY

00:45:35.999 --> 00:45:36.999
-
PROBLEM ARE COMING FROM.

00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:38.875
-
THIS IS THE FIRST LINK OF THE

00:45:38.876 --> 00:45:46.876
-
TOXIC TOUR.

00:45:46.999 --> 00:45:47.999
-
BESIDES RESPIRATORY DISEASE

00:45:48.000 --> 00:45:49.000
-
AND THEIR KIDS, RESERVE MEMBERS

00:45:49.001 --> 00:45:50.291
-
BEGAN TO NOTICE OTHER HEALTH

00:45:50.292 --> 00:45:51.625
-
PROBLEMS, SO THEY BROUGHT IN

00:45:51.626 --> 00:45:52.998
-
SOME EXPERTS THEY HAD HEARD OF,

00:45:52.999 --> 00:45:58.999
-
FROM WINDSOR.

00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:02.166
-
A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, WE HAD

00:46:02.167 --> 00:46:03.998
-
BEEN MEETING WITH THE FIRST

00:46:03.999 --> 00:46:04.999
-
NATIONS ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE

00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:06.666
-
BECAUSE THEY WERE VERY CONCERNED

00:46:06.667 --> 00:46:08.166
-
ABOUT THE HEALTH OF THEIR

00:46:08.167 --> 00:46:09.998
-
CHILDREN AND THEY WERE ALSO

00:46:09.999 --> 00:46:10.999
-
CONCERNED ABOUT ATTENTION

00:46:10.999 --> 00:46:11.999
-
DEFICIT AND LEARNING

00:46:11.999 --> 00:46:12.999
-
DISABILITIES AMONG THEIR

00:46:12.999 --> 00:46:13.209
-
CHILDREN.

00:46:13.210 --> 00:46:15.833
-
ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT IS THERE

00:46:15.834 --> 00:46:17.374
-
IS THIS ISSUE OF ENDOCRINE

00:46:17.375 --> 00:46:18.998
-
DISRUPTION, THAT MANY OF THESE

00:46:18.999 --> 00:46:19.999
-
CHEMICALS ARE HORMONAL

00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:25.998
-
DISRUPTERS.

00:46:25.999 --> 00:46:27.875
-
YOU CAN SEE WE\'RE

00:46:27.876 --> 00:46:28.998
-
DEVELOPMENTALLY CHALLENGED. WE

00:46:28.999 --> 00:46:31.875
-
HAVE AN \"ENVIROMETAL COMMUNITY.\"

00:46:31.876 --> 00:46:33.208
-
IT TURNS OUT I\'VE COME TO

00:46:33.209 --> 00:46:34.998
-
VISIT ON A NIGHT THAT WILL PUT

00:46:34.999 --> 00:46:35.999
-
THIS RESERVE ON THE

00:46:35.999 --> 00:46:36.999
-
INTERNATIONAL MAP.

00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:39.208
-
I REMEMBER JIM WAS IN A

00:46:39.209 --> 00:46:40.666
-
MEETING OF THE ENVIRONMENT

00:46:40.667 --> 00:46:42.583
-
COMMITTEE. I WAS NOT PART OF

00:46:42.584 --> 00:46:44.500
-
THAT MEETING, BUT JIM WENT, AND

00:46:44.501 --> 00:46:46.917
-
PHONED ME UP, AND ALMOST OUT OF

00:46:46.918 --> 00:46:48.998
-
THE BLUE I WENT AND ASKED THE

00:46:48.999 --> 00:46:50.833
-
QUESTION, \"WELL, HAVE YOU GOT

00:46:50.834 --> 00:46:52.833
-
ANY PROBLEMS WITH SEX RATIO IN

00:46:52.834 --> 00:46:59.917
-
YOUR COMMUNITY?\"

00:46:59.918 --> 00:47:00.998
-
AND ONCE AGAIN, EVERYBODY

00:47:00.999 --> 00:47:02.875
-
KIND OF LOOKED AT EACH AND SAID,

00:47:02.876 --> 00:47:04.041
-
\"YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU KNOW, IT\'S

00:47:04.042 --> 00:47:06.374
-
ALMOST ALL GIRLS.\"

00:47:06.375 --> 00:47:07.666
-
PRE-KINDERGARTEN, WHICH WAS

00:47:07.667 --> 00:47:08.999
-
LAST YEAR, THE GIRLS REALLY

00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:17.000
-
OUTNUMBERED THE BOYS THERE.

00:47:17.709 --> 00:47:19.998
-
THERE ARE CERTAIN CHEMICALS

00:47:19.999 --> 00:47:22.875
-
THAT CAN GIVE YOU MORE GIRLS

00:47:22.876 --> 00:47:24.998
-
THAN BOYS. DIOXINS, THERE ARE

00:47:24.999 --> 00:47:27.374
-
PCBS, METAL MERCURY. PARTS OF

00:47:27.375 --> 00:47:29.166
-
THE RESERVE ARE CONTAMINATED

00:47:29.167 --> 00:47:30.998
-
WITH TOXIC SUBSTANCES. THE

00:47:30.999 --> 00:47:32.998
-
CONCENTRATIONS OF SOME CHEMICALS

00:47:32.999 --> 00:47:35.249
-
ARE ABOVE THE GUIDELINES WHICH

00:47:35.250 --> 00:47:38.666
-
HAVE BEEN PUT OUT BY THE ONTARIO

00:47:38.667 --> 00:47:40.998
-
MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND

00:47:40.999 --> 00:47:43.998
-
ENERGY.

00:47:43.999 --> 00:47:45.998
-
IN STUDIES OF HIGHLY EXPOSED

00:47:45.999 --> 00:47:47.500
-
WORKERS, WORKERS EXPOSED TO SOME

00:47:47.501 --> 00:47:48.998
-
PESTICIDES, TO SOME SOLVENTS,

00:47:48.999 --> 00:47:50.875
-
AND TO SOME METALS - THEY

00:47:50.876 --> 00:47:52.833
-
PRODUCE FEWER BABY BOYS. WE KNOW

00:47:52.834 --> 00:47:53.998
-
THAT. SO SOMETHING\'S AFFECTING

00:47:53.999 --> 00:47:56.249
-
SPERM OF THE Y CHROMOSOME IS THE

00:47:56.250 --> 00:48:01.249
-
FIRST IDEA.

00:48:01.250 --> 00:48:03.583
-
SECONDLY, THERE MAY BE SOMETHING

00:48:03.584 --> 00:48:04.998
-
AFFECTING THE MATERNAL

00:48:04.999 --> 00:48:06.998
-
ENVIRONMENT EARLY IN LIFE TO

00:48:06.999 --> 00:48:08.374
-
SELECTIVELY DISCOURAGE THE

00:48:08.375 --> 00:48:12.041
-
MATURING OF A MALE EMBRYO.

00:48:12.042 --> 00:48:20.042
[♪♪]

00:48:20.584 --> 00:48:21.998
-
NOW, OVER THE YEARS HEALTH

00:48:21.999 --> 00:48:23.041
-
OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN CONCERNED

00:48:23.042 --> 00:48:24.583
-
ENOUGH ABOUT POLLUTION IN THE

00:48:24.584 --> 00:48:25.999
-
GREAT LAKES, BUT THEN THEY DID

00:48:26.000 --> 00:48:27.998
-
WHAT THEY ALWAYS DO - THEY STUDY

00:48:27.999 --> 00:48:31.998
-
THE ANIMALS AND NOT THE PEOPLE.

00:48:31.999 --> 00:48:33.875
-
ENVIRONMENT CANADA DECIDED TO

00:48:33.876 --> 00:48:35.998
-
CHECK OUT THE WILDLIFE IN THE

00:48:35.999 --> 00:48:37.917
-
WINDSOR AREA, GREAT LAKES AREA.

00:48:37.918 --> 00:48:39.998
-
EVERY ONE OF THE WILDLIFE AND

00:48:39.999 --> 00:48:41.999
-
FISH AND BIRD SPECIES THAT THEY

00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:43.708
-
CHECKED SHOWED SIGNS OF

00:48:43.709 --> 00:48:45.458
-
ENDOCRINE DISRUPTION. BUT IT WAS

00:48:45.459 --> 00:48:47.208
-
SO PRONOUNCED IN SOME PLACES,

00:48:47.209 --> 00:48:48.917
-
FOR INSTANCE, THAT SNAPPING

00:48:48.918 --> 00:48:49.998
-
TURTLES LITERALLY STOPPED

00:48:49.999 --> 00:48:50.083
-
MATING.

00:48:50.084 --> 00:48:52.998
-
IT REALLY IS THE CANARY IN THE

00:48:52.999 --> 00:48:55.416
-
MINE SO TO SPEAK WHEN YOU HAVE

00:48:55.417 --> 00:48:57.166
-
THIS TYPE OF CONSISTENT DAMAGE

00:48:57.167 --> 00:48:58.998
-
EXISTING ALL THROUGH THE GREAT

00:48:58.999 --> 00:49:00.708
-
LAKES BASIN IN ESSENTIALLY

00:49:00.709 --> 00:49:01.292
-
BLUE-COLLAR COMMUNITIES,

00:49:01.293 --> 00:49:02.998
-
PARTICULARLY LIKE SARNIA AND

00:49:02.999 --> 00:49:04.875
-
WINDSOR, AND WE DON\'T THINK

00:49:04.876 --> 00:49:06.666
-
ABOUT WHAT THE IMPLICATIONS ARE

00:49:06.667 --> 00:49:09.166
-
FOR OUR CHILDREN FOR - FOR THE

00:49:09.167 --> 00:49:13.998
-
HUMAN POPULATION.

00:49:13.999 --> 00:49:15.416
-
CHEMICAL DISTURBANCE OF THE

00:49:15.417 --> 00:49:16.917
-
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM COULD BE HARD

00:49:16.918 --> 00:49:18.708
-
ON BOYS IN OTHER WAYS. NOT ONLY

00:49:18.709 --> 00:49:20.082
-
MAY IT AFFECT THE BIRTH RATE,

00:49:20.083 --> 00:49:21.625
-
BUT THEY\'RE ALSO MORE VULNERABLE

00:49:21.626 --> 00:49:22.708
-
TO LEARNING DISABILITIES AND

00:49:22.709 --> 00:49:23.417
-
CANCER\'S LIKE JEAN-DOMINIC\'S,

00:49:23.418 --> 00:49:25.249
-
AND WHO KNOWS HOW THE GIRLS WILL

00:49:25.250 --> 00:49:32.291
-
BE AFFECTED IN THEIR LIFETIME.

00:49:32.292 --> 00:49:34.998
-
WHAT DO YOU DO? HOW CAN YOU

00:49:34.999 --> 00:49:36.249
-
FIGHT THIS? BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,

00:49:36.250 --> 00:49:37.998
-
EVERYBODY SAYS YOU CAN\'T FIGHT

00:49:37.999 --> 00:49:39.374
-
INDUSTRY. THEY\'RE TOO, YOU KNOW,

00:49:39.375 --> 00:49:40.998
-
GIANTS. YOU CAN\'T DO NOTHIN\'

00:49:40.999 --> 00:49:42.998
-
AGAINST THEM. WHAT THEY WANT TO

00:49:42.999 --> 00:49:46.291
-
DO IS - THEY\'RE GONNA DO IT.

00:49:46.292 --> 00:49:48.998
-
BUT ADA FIGURED OUT A WAY.

00:49:48.999 --> 00:49:49.999
-
TOGETHER WITH RESEARCHERS

00:49:50.000 --> 00:49:51.166
-
MARGARET KEITH AND CONSTANCE

00:49:51.167 --> 00:49:52.791
-
MACKENZIE, THEY STUDIED THE

00:49:52.792 --> 00:49:54.917
-
BIRTH RATIO AND THE RESULTS WERE

00:49:54.918 --> 00:49:55.999
-
PUBLISHED. NOT JUST ANYWHERE,

00:49:56.000 --> 00:49:57.625
-
BUT IN AN INTERNATIONALLY

00:49:57.626 --> 00:49:58.167
-
RENOWNED JOURNAL.

00:49:58.168 --> 00:50:00.291
-
NOW, IT\'S NORMAL TO HAVE 105

00:50:00.292 --> 00:50:02.458
-
BOYS BORN FOR EVERY 100 GIRLS,

00:50:02.459 --> 00:50:04.998
-
BUT HERE THERE ARE TWICE AS MANY

00:50:04.999 --> 00:50:06.833
-
GIRLS BORN AS BOYS. WHILE

00:50:06.834 --> 00:50:08.458
-
THERE\'S NO HARD PROOF THAT

00:50:08.459 --> 00:50:10.082
-
CHEMICAL VALLEY IS THE CAUSE,

00:50:10.083 --> 00:50:11.998
-
WITH ALL THE KNOWN TOXINS

00:50:11.999 --> 00:50:13.374
-
SURROUNDING THE RESERVE YOU\'D

00:50:13.375 --> 00:50:14.458
-
THINK BUILDING EVIDENCE

00:50:14.459 --> 00:50:16.666
-
SHOULDN\'T BE THAT HARD TO DO.

00:50:16.667 --> 00:50:18.875
-
TAKE THE WATER FOR INSTANCE. THE

00:50:18.876 --> 00:50:20.500
-
RESERVE\'S CREEK FLOWS INTO THE

00:50:20.501 --> 00:50:22.998
-
ST. CLAIR RIVER, HOME OF THE OLD

00:50:22.999 --> 00:50:24.416
-
BLOB, REMEMBER? ALL THE

00:50:24.417 --> 00:50:26.041
-
COMPANIES WHO HAVE DUMPED IN

00:50:26.042 --> 00:50:27.998
-
THIS WATER SAY THEY\'VE CLEANED

00:50:27.999 --> 00:50:29.998
-
IT UP, BUT MANY CHEMICALS ARE

00:50:29.999 --> 00:50:31.998
-
PERSISTENT SO IT\'S HARD TO

00:50:31.999 --> 00:50:33.917
-
IMAGINE THE LEGACY OF TOXICITY

00:50:33.918 --> 00:50:40.998
-
HAS COMPLETELY VANISHED.

00:50:40.999 --> 00:50:43.998
-
THE FISH HAVE CHEMICALS LIKE

00:50:43.999 --> 00:50:44.999
-
POLYCHLORINATED BI-PHENOLS,

00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:47.458
-
PCBS, DIOXINS, MERCURY, DDT. AND

00:50:47.459 --> 00:50:50.500
-
PEOPLE WHO ARE EATING THE FISH

00:50:50.501 --> 00:50:52.998
-
ARE EXPOSING THEMSELVES TO MUCH

00:50:52.999 --> 00:50:54.998
-
HIGHER CONCENTRATIONS OF THESE

00:50:54.999 --> 00:50:59.249
-
CHEMICALS.

00:50:59.250 --> 00:51:00.209
-
EXCUSE ME?

00:51:00.210 --> 00:51:01.625
-
YEAH.

00:51:01.626 --> 00:51:02.167
-
WHAT KIND OF FISH IS THAT?

00:51:02.167 --> 00:51:03.042
-
FISH.

00:51:03.042 --> 00:51:03.999
-
ARE YOU GONNA EAT THEM?

00:51:03.999 --> 00:51:04.918
-
THEY\'RE GOOD.

00:51:04.919 --> 00:51:06.625
-
IS IT GOOD?

00:51:06.626 --> 00:51:08.208
-
YEAH.

00:51:08.209 --> 00:51:09.998
-
DO YOU NOT WORRY THAT THE

00:51:09.999 --> 00:51:12.500
-
FISH MIGHT BE SICK AT ALL OR...

00:51:12.501 --> 00:51:13.998
-
NO. (INAUDIBLE)...

00:51:13.999 --> 00:51:14.834
-
HAVE YOU SEEN ANY FISH THAT

00:51:14.835 --> 00:51:15.998
-
DON\'T LOOK TOO GOOD?

00:51:15.999 --> 00:51:17.082
-
YEAH.

00:51:17.083 --> 00:51:18.917
-
THEY\'VE GOT TROUBLES?

00:51:18.918 --> 00:51:26.918
-
YES. YEAH. A LOT OF THEM.

00:51:33.626 --> 00:51:34.998
-
IN FIVE MONTHS, I TRIED TO

00:51:34.999 --> 00:51:35.999
-
GET MAJOR COMPANIES LIKE DOW

00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:37.166
-
CHEMICAL AND SUNCORP TO TALK TO

00:51:37.167 --> 00:51:39.917
-
ME ABOUT THEIR CHEMICAL

00:51:39.918 --> 00:51:41.875
-
EMISSIONS AND SAFETY LEVELS AND

00:51:41.876 --> 00:51:43.208
-
POSSIBLE HEALTH EFFECTS FOR

00:51:43.209 --> 00:51:44.998
-
SARNIA AND AAMJIWNAANG. DOW

00:51:44.999 --> 00:51:46.998
-
ACTUALLY SAID YES. FUNNY HOW

00:51:46.999 --> 00:51:49.833
-
INDUSTRY CAN BE EASIER TO GET TO

00:51:49.834 --> 00:51:51.833
-
THAN GOVERNMENT. BUT THEN DOW

00:51:51.834 --> 00:51:53.833
-
SAID NO, THEY\'RE CLOSING THEIR

00:51:53.834 --> 00:51:55.833
-
OPERATIONS HERE. WELL, AT LEAST

00:51:55.834 --> 00:51:57.208
-
THEY HAVE AN EXCUSE.

00:51:57.209 --> 00:51:59.833
-
AND SUNCORP SAID WHAT ALL THE

00:51:59.834 --> 00:52:01.917
-
OTHERS SAY. \"TALK TO THE

00:52:01.918 --> 00:52:02.626
-
SARNIA-LAMBTON ENVIRONMENTAL

00:52:02.627 --> 00:52:03.999
-
ASSOCIATION, WHICH MEANT TALKING

00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:10.500
-
TO SCOTT MUNRO.

00:52:10.501 --> 00:52:12.875
-
BENZENE, OBVIOUSLY IS A - AN

00:52:12.876 --> 00:52:14.249
-
ISSUE OF LOCAL CONCERN. THE

00:52:14.250 --> 00:52:15.250
-
PETRO-CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES HANDLE

00:52:15.251 --> 00:52:16.998
-
BENZENE.

00:52:16.999 --> 00:52:17.999
-
AND WHY IS IT A CONCERN?

00:52:18.000 --> 00:52:19.998
-
BENZENE IS KNOWN TO BE A

00:52:19.999 --> 00:52:21.500
-
HUMAN CARCINOGEN, OKAY? IT\'S A

00:52:21.501 --> 00:52:22.998
-
CANCER-CAUSING AGENT. AND SO YOU

00:52:22.999 --> 00:52:24.416
-
WANT THE LEVELS, OBVIOUSLY, IN

00:52:24.417 --> 00:52:26.500
-
THE AIR TO BE AS LOW AS

00:52:26.501 --> 00:52:28.833
-
POSSIBLE.

00:52:28.834 --> 00:52:30.875
-
SLEA\'S JOB IS TO MONITOR THE

00:52:30.876 --> 00:52:32.998
-
AIR ON BEHALF OF ALL OF THE

00:52:32.999 --> 00:52:34.208
-
COMPANIES THAT ACTUALLY PAY FOR

00:52:34.209 --> 00:52:37.998
-
THIS ASSOCIATION.

00:52:37.999 --> 00:52:38.999
-
WE\'RE MONITORING SULPHUR

00:52:39.000 --> 00:52:40.625
-
DIOXIDE, NITROGEN OXIDES,

00:52:40.626 --> 00:52:44.583
-
PARTICULATES, OZONE.

00:52:44.584 --> 00:52:46.500
-
HOW OLD IS THAT STATION?

00:52:46.501 --> 00:52:48.082
-
1968.

00:52:48.083 --> 00:52:49.998
-
THAT\'S BEEN THERE SINCE 1968?

00:52:49.999 --> 00:52:51.708
-
1968, YEAH. OBVIOUSLY THERE\'S

00:52:51.709 --> 00:52:53.416
-
CONCERNS FROM - FROM THE NATIVE

00:52:53.417 --> 00:52:54.708
-
COMMUNITY THAT EMISSIONS FROM

00:52:54.709 --> 00:52:55.998
-
THE PLANTS ARE AFFECTING THEIR

00:52:55.999 --> 00:52:57.998
-
HEALTH. ONE OF THE THINGS I

00:52:57.999 --> 00:52:59.998
-
WOULD LIKE TO DO IS ESTABLISH AN

00:52:59.999 --> 00:53:01.208
-
AIR MONITORING STATION SIMILAR,

00:53:01.209 --> 00:53:03.416
-
PERHAPS, TO WHAT WE HAVE HERE ON

00:53:03.417 --> 00:53:05.166
-
THE RESERVE. AND WE HAVE A

00:53:05.167 --> 00:53:06.500
-
MOBILE MONITORING FACILITY THAT

00:53:06.501 --> 00:53:08.998
-
WE CAN USE TO HELP THEM DO THAT

00:53:08.999 --> 00:53:12.291
-
AND...

00:53:12.292 --> 00:53:13.998
-
LIKE LETTING THE FOX IN THE

00:53:13.999 --> 00:53:15.791
-
HENHOUSE. THIS KIND OF HELP IS

00:53:15.792 --> 00:53:17.041
-
NOT EXACTLY WHAT THE RESERVE IS

00:53:17.042 --> 00:53:18.875
-
WILLING TO TRUST. BUT I WAS

00:53:18.876 --> 00:53:20.208
-
CURIOUS TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS

00:53:20.209 --> 00:53:22.998
-
MONITOR.

00:53:22.999 --> 00:53:23.876
-
SURE.

00:53:23.877 --> 00:53:24.917
-
TAKE ME INSIDE?

00:53:24.918 --> 00:53:26.249
-
THIS IS ED CURRIE (PHON.).

00:53:26.250 --> 00:53:28.500
-
HI, ED. I FIND IT HARD TO

00:53:28.501 --> 00:53:29.998
-
BELIEVE THAT THE AIR MONITOR IN

00:53:29.999 --> 00:53:31.917
-
HERE WOULD CAPTURE THE SAME IN

00:53:31.918 --> 00:53:33.374
-
MY CORNER THAT IT WOULD CAPTURE

00:53:33.375 --> 00:53:36.291
-
IN HERE, GIVEN WHAT\'S

00:53:36.292 --> 00:53:38.166
-
(INAUDIBLE)...

00:53:38.167 --> 00:53:39.917
-
BUT I SAY, WE\'RE REALLY JUST

00:53:39.918 --> 00:53:40.998
-
LOOKING AT REALLY AMBIENT AIR

00:53:40.999 --> 00:53:42.625
-
CONCENTRATIONS HERE.

00:53:42.626 --> 00:53:43.083
-
YEAH.

00:53:43.084 --> 00:53:44.833
-
WE\'RE NOT, YOU KNOW - ->> YEAH.

00:53:44.834 --> 00:53:45.998
-
- SPECIFICALLY TRYING TO

00:53:45.999 --> 00:53:46.584
-
CAPTURE (INAUDIBLE)... OR

00:53:46.585 --> 00:53:49.998
-
ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

00:53:49.999 --> 00:53:50.999
-
I MEAN, THERE\'S THOUSANDS OF

00:53:51.000 --> 00:53:52.291
-
CHEMICALS THAT COME OUT OF THOSE

00:53:52.292 --> 00:53:53.416
-
PLANTS, BUT NOT EVERYTHING IS

00:53:53.417 --> 00:53:54.083
-
MEASURED.

00:53:54.084 --> 00:53:55.998
-
YEAH. WITH THIS SYSTEM HERE,

00:53:55.999 --> 00:53:57.998
-
WE DO MEASURE UH... A NUMBER OF

00:53:57.999 --> 00:53:58.999
-
THOSE, LIKE BENZENE, TOLUENE,

00:53:59.000 --> 00:54:00.998
-
XYLENES.

00:54:00.999 --> 00:54:02.998
-
IF A STATION LIKE THIS WAS ON

00:54:02.999 --> 00:54:04.249
-
THE RESERVE, DO YOU THINK IT

00:54:04.250 --> 00:54:05.998
-
WOULD BE - IT WOULD CAPTURE THE

00:54:05.999 --> 00:54:09.291
-
SAME THINGS?

00:54:09.292 --> 00:54:10.374
-
YEAH. IT WOULD AND THERE

00:54:10.375 --> 00:54:11.458
-
MIGHT BE SOME OTHER THINGS AS

00:54:11.459 --> 00:54:14.998
-
WELL.

00:54:14.999 --> 00:54:17.041
-
YEAH. OTHER THINGS. LIKE

00:54:17.042 --> 00:54:17.999
-
HEXACHLOROBENZENE, HYDROFLUORIC

00:54:18.000 --> 00:54:19.998
-
ACID, AND MANY OTHER CHEMICALS

00:54:19.999 --> 00:54:22.583
-
I\'VE NEVER HEARD OF AND FOR

00:54:22.584 --> 00:54:24.666
-
WHICH FEW SAFE DAILY EXPOSURE

00:54:24.667 --> 00:54:26.998
-
LEVELS FOR KIDS AND ADULTS EVEN

00:54:26.999 --> 00:54:32.249
-
EXIST.

00:54:32.250 --> 00:54:32.999
-
BUT I GUESS IT\'S LIKE REAL

00:54:32.999 --> 00:54:33.999
-
ESTATE - IT\'S ALL ABOUT

00:54:34.000 --> 00:54:36.666
-
LOCATION.

00:54:36.667 --> 00:54:38.500
-
MAYBE THE MOST POWERFUL

00:54:38.501 --> 00:54:39.998
-
CARCINOGEN IS YOUR SOCIOECONOMIC

00:54:39.999 --> 00:54:42.249
-
STATUS. IF YOU\'RE A POOR PERSON

00:54:42.250 --> 00:54:44.791
-
YOU\'RE MORE LIKELY TO GET SICK

00:54:44.792 --> 00:54:46.998
-
AND INJURED THAN IF YOU\'VE GOT

00:54:46.999 --> 00:54:54.166
-
MORE MONEY.

00:54:54.167 --> 00:54:55.416
-
HORMONE DISRUPTION, FEWER

00:54:55.417 --> 00:54:56.708
-
BOYS, ASTHMA. WHATEVER\'S GOING

00:54:56.709 --> 00:54:58.416
-
ON, IT ISN\'T JUST CONFINED TO

00:54:58.417 --> 00:55:00.666
-
THE RESERVE. RIGHT IN MY HOTEL I

00:55:00.667 --> 00:55:04.998
-
MEET LEANNE.

00:55:04.999 --> 00:55:08.998
-
AROUND 16 YEARS OLD I HAD -

00:55:08.999 --> 00:55:11.998
-
NEVER HAD A MENSTRUAL CYCLE. I

00:55:11.999 --> 00:55:15.291
-
DECIDED TO GO TO THE DOCTOR AND

00:55:15.292 --> 00:55:19.291
-
SHE TOLD ME THAT I HAD A RARE

00:55:19.292 --> 00:55:21.374
-
SYNDROME CALLED MARGARET RUSTER

00:55:21.375 --> 00:55:24.166
-
CUSTER HOUSER SYNDROME (PHON.).

00:55:24.167 --> 00:55:25.917
-
WHAT?

00:55:25.918 --> 00:55:26.042
-
>>

00:55:26.043 --> 00:55:29.166
- MAYER-ROKITANSKY-KUSTER-HAUSER-SYNDROME.
AND WHAT IT CAUSES IS

00:55:29.167 --> 00:55:31.998
-
LIKE A NORMAL WOMEN\'S UTERUS IS

00:55:31.999 --> 00:55:35.374
-
THE SIZE OF A PEAR AND MINE WAS

00:55:35.375 --> 00:55:38.458
-
THE SIZE OF A PEANUT. AND I

00:55:38.459 --> 00:55:41.583
-
BASICALLY HAD TO GO IN AND HAVE

00:55:41.584 --> 00:55:43.875
-
A SURGERY THAT\'S PERFORMED ON

00:55:43.876 --> 00:55:45.500
-
LIKE CHERNOBYL BABIES. IT\'S

00:55:45.501 --> 00:55:47.833
-
REALLY COMMON OVER THERE. SHE

00:55:47.834 --> 00:55:49.998
-
FOUND OUT SOME RESEARCH THAT

00:55:49.999 --> 00:55:52.666
-
LINKED IT TO SOMETHING TO DO

00:55:52.667 --> 00:55:55.625
-
WITH CHEMICAL VALLEY.

00:55:55.626 --> 00:55:57.998
-
AND THE 15 GIRLS IN CANADA THAT

00:55:57.999 --> 00:55:59.374
-
HAVE THIS SYNDROME ARE ALL

00:55:59.375 --> 00:56:00.917
-
LOCATED WITHIN SARNIA AND

00:56:00.918 --> 00:56:08.918
-
HAMILTON. THAT\'S IT.

00:56:09.999 --> 00:56:11.791
-
I COULDN\'T VERIFY HOW

00:56:11.792 --> 00:56:13.998
-
ACCURATE LEANNE IS. THERE MAY BE

00:56:13.999 --> 00:56:15.917
-
MORE WOMEN IN CANADA WITH

00:56:15.918 --> 00:56:18.291
- MAYER-ROKITANSKY-KUSTER-HAUSER-SYNDROME.
BUT I THINK THE LESSON

00:56:18.292 --> 00:56:20.998
-
IS UNTIL WE KNOW MORE ABOUT WHY

00:56:20.999 --> 00:56:22.998
-
THESE THINGS OCCUR, WE BETTER

00:56:22.999 --> 00:56:24.875
-
START ASKING FOR SOME NECESSARY

00:56:24.876 --> 00:56:28.082
-
PRECAUTIONS.

00:56:28.083 --> 00:56:30.998
-
WHO DO WE BLAME? HOW DO WE

00:56:30.999 --> 00:56:32.998
-
PRESENT THAT BLAME SO IT COMES

00:56:32.999 --> 00:56:34.998
-
OUT IN THE NEWSPAPER NOT LIKE

00:56:34.999 --> 00:56:36.082
-
WE\'RE ATTACKING PEOPLE, BUT

00:56:36.083 --> 00:56:38.166
-
WE\'RE MAKING A VALID POINT? AND

00:56:38.167 --> 00:56:40.708
-
IN MY EYES, THE BLAME IS THE

00:56:40.709 --> 00:56:41.709
-
GOVERNMENT BECAUSE INDUSTRY

00:56:41.710 --> 00:56:43.249
-
SAYS, \"WE OBEY THE REGULATIONS,\"

00:56:43.250 --> 00:56:44.998
-
AND THEY DO. SOMETIMES THEY

00:56:44.999 --> 00:56:46.416
-
BREAK THE REGULATIONS, BUT

00:56:46.417 --> 00:56:50.998
-
SOMETIMES YOU SPEED.

00:56:50.999 --> 00:56:53.374
-
I MEAN, I DON\'T KNOW IF THEY

00:56:53.375 --> 00:56:55.416
-
ARE DOING THE LEGAL THING BUT IF

00:56:55.417 --> 00:56:57.041
-
THEY ARE, THEN LEGALLY IT\'S OKAY

00:56:57.042 --> 00:56:58.791
-
TO RELEASE OVER 10 MILLION

00:56:58.792 --> 00:56:59.998
-
KILOGRAMS OF REPRODUCTIVE -

00:56:59.999 --> 00:57:00.999
-
SUSPECTED REPRODUCTIVE HAZARDS

00:57:01.000 --> 00:57:02.998
-
BEING PUT INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.

00:57:02.999 --> 00:57:03.999
-
THAT\'S AIR. THAT\'S JUST AIR.

00:57:04.000 --> 00:57:05.249
-
THAT\'S JUST AIR, OKAY? LIKE

00:57:05.250 --> 00:57:13.250
-
TALK ABOUT THE ELEPHANT IN THE-ROOM...

00:57:27.292 --> 00:57:29.374
-
AFTER THE BIRTH RATIO STUDY

00:57:29.375 --> 00:57:30.998
-
RESULTS GO PUBLIC AND THE

00:57:30.999 --> 00:57:32.999
-
RESERVE\'S PROTEST HEATS UP, IN A

00:57:33.000 --> 00:57:34.998
-
COMPANY TOWN LIKE THIS, THERE\'S

00:57:34.999 --> 00:57:36.998
-
GONNA BE SOME CONSEQUENCES.

00:57:36.999 --> 00:57:39.833
-
THERE\'D BEEN A BREAK IN. OUR-OFFICE.

00:57:39.834 --> 00:57:40.998
-
CAN YOU SHOW ME THE OFFICE?

00:57:40.999 --> 00:57:42.875
-
YEAH. MY COMPUTER WAS GONE.

00:57:42.876 --> 00:57:44.875
-
GLASS ALL OVER THE PLACE. A BIG

00:57:44.876 --> 00:57:46.458
-
BRICK THERE. THE STUFF THAT WAS

00:57:46.459 --> 00:57:48.041
-
WORTH THE MOST MONEY WAS LEFT,

00:57:48.042 --> 00:57:49.708
-
WHICH WAS THE MONITORS. NO

00:57:49.709 --> 00:57:50.998
-
FINGERPRINTS. SO THE OPP WERE

00:57:50.999 --> 00:57:53.458
-
RELATING TO THIS AS IF IT WAS AN

00:57:53.459 --> 00:57:59.708
-
INFORMATION BREAK IN.

00:57:59.709 --> 00:58:01.166
-
THE MAJORITY OF THESE

00:58:01.167 --> 00:58:02.998
-
CHEMICALS HAVE NO SET LEVELS,

00:58:02.999 --> 00:58:04.374
-
ACCEPTABLE OR NOT. THE SKEWED

00:58:04.375 --> 00:58:05.998
-
BIRTH RATIOS OF AAMJIWNAANG, THE

00:58:05.999 --> 00:58:06.999
-
DISPROPORTIONATE NUMBER OF

00:58:06.999 --> 00:58:07.999
-
MISCARRIAGES, THE INABILITY TO

00:58:08.000 --> 00:58:09.833
-
CONCEIVE FOR THE YOUNG COUPLES

00:58:09.834 --> 00:58:10.998
-
OF AAMJIWNAANG IDENTIFIED IN

00:58:10.999 --> 00:58:12.998
-
RECENT STUDIES ARE A RESULT OF

00:58:12.999 --> 00:58:17.166
-
EXPOSURES TO CHEMICALS.

00:58:17.167 --> 00:58:19.082
-
RON ALSO SAYS INDUSTRY

00:58:19.083 --> 00:58:20.998
-
OPERATES WITHIN LEGAL LIMITS,

00:58:20.999 --> 00:58:22.999
-
BUT WHAT IF THOSE LIMITS ARE

00:58:23.000 --> 00:58:24.875
-
WRONG? THAT\'S WHAT EVERYONE

00:58:24.876 --> 00:58:26.875
-
WANTS TO KNOW... INCLUDING MAYOR

00:58:26.876 --> 00:58:28.998
-
MIKE BRADLEY, THE MAN WHO\'S RUN

00:58:28.999 --> 00:58:31.583
-
THIS TOWN FOR OVER 18 YEARS.

00:58:31.584 --> 00:58:33.583
-
COINCIDENTALLY, I ARRIVE ON THE

00:58:33.584 --> 00:58:35.998
-
DAY MAYOR MIKE SIGNS ONTO A

00:58:35.999 --> 00:58:37.583
-
LETTER DEMANDING THE GOVERNMENT

00:58:37.584 --> 00:58:39.583
-
DO A PROPER IN-DEPTH HEALTH

00:58:39.584 --> 00:58:42.249
-
STUDY OF THE RESERVE AND ALL OF

00:58:42.250 --> 00:58:42.876
-
SARNIA.

00:58:42.877 --> 00:58:44.875
-
THE RESERVES MADE HEADLINES AND

00:58:44.876 --> 00:58:46.875
-
I GUESS THAT\'S CAUSED SOME

00:58:46.876 --> 00:58:50.791
-
TROUBLE.

00:58:50.792 --> 00:58:51.998
-
THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT

00:58:51.999 --> 00:58:52.999
-
THOSE PLANTS ARE LOCATED VERY

00:58:53.000 --> 00:58:54.208
-
CLOSE TO A COMMUNITY. PROBABLY

00:58:54.209 --> 00:58:55.791
-
ABOUT 50 PER CENT OF THE

00:58:55.792 --> 00:58:56.626
-
POLLUTANTS WE\'RE DEALING WITH

00:58:56.627 --> 00:58:57.833
-
ARE COMING FROM ACROSS THE

00:58:57.834 --> 00:58:58.998
-
RIVER, AND THAT\'S PART OF THE

00:58:58.999 --> 00:59:00.208
-
DILEMMA WE\'RE CAUGHT IN HERE.

00:59:00.209 --> 00:59:01.833
-
YOU CAN SEE THERE\'S A MAJOR

00:59:01.834 --> 00:59:02.709
-
COAL-FIRED PLANT RIGHT ACROSS

00:59:02.710 --> 00:59:03.998
-
THE RIVER AND THEY\'RE BUILDING

00:59:03.999 --> 00:59:06.998
-
FIVE MORE.

00:59:06.999 --> 00:59:08.625
-
OKAY. SO THAT\'S MICHIGAN OVER-THERE?

00:59:08.626 --> 00:59:09.999
-
YEAH. THAT\'S MICHIGAN. THIS

00:59:10.000 --> 00:59:11.998
-
LETTER IS A COMMUNITY LETTER AND

00:59:11.999 --> 00:59:13.833
-
YOU\'VE GOT EVERYONE FROM THE

00:59:13.834 --> 00:59:15.208
-
MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT TO

00:59:15.209 --> 00:59:16.998
-
THE CITY TO THE AAMJIWNAANG,

00:59:16.999 --> 00:59:18.998
-
INDUSTRY ALL SAYING, \"WE WANT TO

00:59:18.999 --> 00:59:20.917
-
LOOK AT THE OVERALL HEALTH OF

00:59:20.918 --> 00:59:21.375
-
THE AREA.\"

00:59:21.376 --> 00:59:23.291
-
WE NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING BASED

00:59:23.292 --> 00:59:25.249
-
ON SCIENCE AND THE ONLY PARTY

00:59:25.250 --> 00:59:27.791
-
THAT WE THINK CAN DO THAT IS

00:59:27.792 --> 00:59:28.584
-
HEALTH CANADA.

00:59:28.585 --> 00:59:30.583
-
WHAT DID HEALTH CANADA SAY-ABOUT IT?

00:59:30.584 --> 00:59:31.875
-
THEY\'RE NOT SUPPORTIVE AT

00:59:31.876 --> 00:59:32.998
-
THIS POINT. THAT\'S WHY THE

00:59:32.999 --> 00:59:33.999
-
LETTER WAS WRITTEN SAYING,

00:59:33.999 --> 00:59:34.999
-
\"LOOK. YOU\'VE COME IN HERE.

00:59:35.000 --> 00:59:36.208
-
YOU\'VE TALKED ABOUT DOING A

00:59:36.209 --> 00:59:37.167
-
HEALTH STUDY.\" AND INDUSTRY\'S

00:59:37.168 --> 00:59:38.998
-
GOING TO PAY A FAIR SHARE OF

00:59:38.999 --> 00:59:39.999
-
THIS. I JUST PERSONALLY DON\'T

00:59:40.000 --> 00:59:41.708
-
THINK THAT THAT WILL HELP THE

00:59:41.709 --> 00:59:42.998
-
INTEGRITY AND CREDIBILITY OF THE

00:59:42.999 --> 00:59:43.999
-
STUDY AT THE END.

00:59:44.000 --> 00:59:45.166
-
AND I KNOW THAT\'S THE SAME

00:59:45.167 --> 00:59:46.083
-
POSITION THAT THE AAMJIWNAANG

00:59:46.084 --> 00:59:47.998
-
HAVE, THAT HOW CAN YOU - YOU

00:59:47.999 --> 00:59:49.708
-
KNOW, BE PART OF THE PAYING FOR

00:59:49.709 --> 00:59:50.998
-
THE STUDY AND NOT HAVE PEOPLE

00:59:50.999 --> 00:59:52.208
-
FROM OUTSIDE THINK THAT YOU

00:59:52.209 --> 00:59:52.999
-
INFLUENCED THAT STUDY.

00:59:53.000 --> 00:59:54.500
-
THE PROBLEM THAT I\'VE ALWAYS HAD

00:59:54.501 --> 00:59:55.833
-
WITH THE MINISTRY OF THE

00:59:55.834 --> 00:59:56.417
-
ENVIRONMENT, THEY\'RE A

00:59:56.418 --> 00:59:57.791
-
BUREAUCRACY THAT TEND ONLY TO

00:59:57.792 --> 00:59:58.709
-
RESPOND WHEN THEY\'RE PRESSURED

00:59:58.710 --> 00:59:59.998
-
PUBLICLY. THAT\'S NOT THE WAY IT

00:59:59.999 --> 01:00:01.249
-
SHOULD BE. AND QUITE HONESTLY,

01:00:01.250 --> 01:00:02.998
-
THERE\'S A LOT OF SUSPICION ABOUT

01:00:02.999 --> 01:00:03.999
-
HEALTH CANADA, TOO, ABOUT HOW

01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:05.500
-
ACTIVIST THEY ARE AND EVEN ON

01:00:05.501 --> 01:00:06.875
-
THE PESTICIDE ISSUE, YOU\'LL SEE

01:00:06.876 --> 01:00:08.082
-
THAT THERE\'S A SCHOOL OF THOUGHT

01:00:08.083 --> 01:00:09.458
-
THAT THEY TEND TO DEFEND

01:00:09.459 --> 01:00:10.459
-
CHEMICALS AND INDUSTRY INSTEAD

01:00:10.460 --> 01:00:11.998
-
OF BEING AN ADVOCATE ON THE

01:00:11.999 --> 01:00:14.999
-
PUBLIC HEALTH SIDE.

01:00:15.000 --> 01:00:16.708
-
A FEW MONTHS AFTER MAYOR MIKE

01:00:16.709 --> 01:00:17.998
-
AND THE COMMUNITY SENT OUT THE

01:00:17.999 --> 01:00:19.291
-
LETTER, I WAS CURIOUS TO SEE IF

01:00:19.292 --> 01:00:20.416
-
ANY OFFICIALS HAD COMMITTED YET

01:00:20.417 --> 01:00:21.583
-
TO INVESTIGATING THE HEALTH OF

01:00:21.584 --> 01:00:25.082
-
SARNIA AND THE RESERVE.

01:00:25.083 --> 01:00:26.998
-
I\'M DOING A DOCUMENTARY ON

01:00:26.999 --> 01:00:28.374
-
CHILDREN\'S HEALTH AND THE

01:00:28.375 --> 01:00:29.791
-
ENVIRONMENT. AND IN PARTICULAR,

01:00:29.792 --> 01:00:31.166
-
IN SARNIA, WITH THE AAMJIWNAANG

01:00:31.167 --> 01:00:32.998
-
RESERVE AND THE BIRTH RATIO

01:00:32.999 --> 01:00:34.458
-
STUDY THAT THEY\'RE LOOKING FOR

01:00:34.459 --> 01:00:36.833
-
SOME FUNDING ON. DO YOU HAVE ANY

01:00:36.834 --> 01:00:38.708
-
THOUGHTS OR ANY DIRECTION ON -

01:00:38.709 --> 01:00:40.625
-
ON WHAT THE HEALTH CANADA\'S PLAN

01:00:40.626 --> 01:00:44.666
-
IS ABOUT THAT?

01:00:44.667 --> 01:00:46.998
-
YOU DON\'T WORK IN REGARD TO

01:00:46.999 --> 01:00:49.166
-
SARNIA. WHAT IS YOUR AREA OF

01:00:49.167 --> 01:00:50.998
-
RESPONSIBILITY? I\'M SORRY, SIR.

01:00:50.999 --> 01:00:52.998
-
WHAT IS YOUR AREA OF

01:00:52.999 --> 01:00:54.998
-
RESPONSIBILITY? SO - SO YOU ARE

01:00:54.999 --> 01:00:56.833
-
INVOLVED WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL

01:00:56.834 --> 01:00:58.166
-
MONITORING IN FIRST NATIONS

01:00:58.167 --> 01:01:00.208
-
AREA? RIGHT. BUT SARNIA\'S NOT

01:01:00.209 --> 01:01:01.998
-
PART OF THAT? AAMJIWNAANG...

01:01:01.999 --> 01:01:04.082
-
OKAY. SO LET\'S JUST TALK ABOUT

01:01:04.083 --> 01:01:06.041
-
THE RESERVE, THEN. OKAY. SO

01:01:06.042 --> 01:01:07.999
-
YOU\'RE PLANNING TO DISCUSS THE

01:01:08.000 --> 01:01:10.625
-
PLANS, WHICH YOU\'LL BE ABLE TO

01:01:10.626 --> 01:01:12.998
-
COMMENT AT LAST OVER THE PHONE

01:01:12.999 --> 01:01:15.998
-
WITH ME? I WAS NOT TOLD THAT I

01:01:15.999 --> 01:01:17.998
-
HAD TO NECESSARILY GO THROUGH

01:01:17.999 --> 01:01:19.791
-
THE COMMUNICATIONS BRANCH TO

01:01:19.792 --> 01:01:21.791
-
HAVE A - A RESEARCH-BASED

01:01:21.792 --> 01:01:23.166
-
CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE LIKE

01:01:23.167 --> 01:01:26.998
-
YOU.

01:01:26.999 --> 01:01:28.166
-
IT IS THEIR JOB. YEAH. OKAY.

01:01:28.167 --> 01:01:36.167
-
THANK YOU. BYE-BYE.

01:01:38.459 --> 01:01:40.374
-
I CLEARLY NEED A LESSON IN

01:01:40.375 --> 01:01:41.998
-
ACCESSING GOVERNMENT AND I FOUND

01:01:41.999 --> 01:01:43.998
-
IT IN A PAEDIATRICIAN WHO QUIT

01:01:43.999 --> 01:01:45.166
-
THE COUNTRY\'S HEALTH PROTECTION

01:01:45.167 --> 01:01:46.625
-
BRANCH WHEN HER RECOMMENDATIONS

01:01:46.626 --> 01:01:47.998
-
FOR WARNING LABELS ON

01:01:47.999 --> 01:01:48.999
-
MEDICATIONS WERE REPEATEDLY

01:01:49.000 --> 01:01:51.999
-
IGNORED BY HEALTH CANADA.

01:01:52.000 --> 01:01:53.999
-
A LARGE POWERFUL COMPANY CAN

01:01:54.000 --> 01:01:55.998
-
HURT A MINISTER BADLY. THEY CAN

01:01:55.999 --> 01:01:57.998
-
- THEY CAN MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE

01:01:57.999 --> 01:01:59.998
-
FOR THAT MINISTER TO REMAIN IN

01:01:59.999 --> 01:02:02.583
-
OFFICE. IF A COMPANY OR A GROUP

01:02:02.584 --> 01:02:04.583
-
OF COMPANIES DECIDE TO GO AFTER

01:02:04.584 --> 01:02:06.998
-
A MINISTER, THAT - THAT IS VERY

01:02:06.999 --> 01:02:10.666
-
SERIOUS.

01:02:10.667 --> 01:02:12.041
-
MEANWHILE, BEHIND THE SCENES IN

01:02:12.042 --> 01:02:13.500
-
MEETINGS, IN THESE BUILDINGS

01:02:13.501 --> 01:02:15.374
-
THAT YOU ARE FORBIDDEN TO HEAR

01:02:15.375 --> 01:02:17.249
-
ABOUT, KNOW ABOUT OR ATTEND -

01:02:17.250 --> 01:02:18.708
-
THESE SAME INDUSTRIES ARE

01:02:18.709 --> 01:02:20.166
-
PUTTING EXTREME PRESSURE ON ANY

01:02:20.167 --> 01:02:22.625
-
STAFF THAT - THAT ARE ABOUT TO

01:02:22.626 --> 01:02:24.583
-
MAKE A DECISION THAT COULD HURT

01:02:24.584 --> 01:02:26.583
-
THAT - THAT INDUSTRY OR THAT

01:02:26.584 --> 01:02:29.998
-
COMPANY.

01:02:29.999 --> 01:02:31.999
-
SO WE HAVE A VERY DIABOLICAL

01:02:32.000 --> 01:02:34.416
-
SITUATION IN WHICH THEY SAY THEY

01:02:34.417 --> 01:02:36.998
-
WANT TO DO THE BEST FOR THE

01:02:36.999 --> 01:02:38.998
-
PUBLIC, BUT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

01:02:38.999 --> 01:02:40.998
-
THEY TELL OUR SAFETY WATCHDOGS,

01:02:40.999 --> 01:02:44.833
-
\"DON\'T YOU DARE.\"

01:02:44.834 --> 01:02:45.626
-
THAT WOULD EXPLAIN THE

01:02:45.626 --> 01:02:46.501
-
PROCESS OF WHAT DR.

01:02:46.502 --> 01:02:50.082
-
BRILL-EDWARDS CALLS \"THE 4 DS\".

01:02:50.083 --> 01:02:51.208
-
THE FIRST PROCESS IS TO DENY.

01:02:51.209 --> 01:02:51.999
-
DENY?

01:02:52.000 --> 01:02:53.082
- >> TO SIMPLY SAY THAT
THE-PROBLEM IS NOT THERE.

01:02:53.083 --> 01:02:53.999
-
THEN?

01:02:54.000 --> 01:02:55.917
-
DELAY. WHEN THE PROBLEM IS

01:02:55.918 --> 01:02:57.082
-
TOO OBVIOUS TO DENY, BUY

01:02:57.083 --> 01:02:58.998
-
YOURSELF SOME TIME WITH A STUDY

01:02:58.999 --> 01:03:00.998
-
OR A COMMITTEE. THEN DIVIDE AND

01:03:00.999 --> 01:03:03.998
-
DISCREDIT.

01:03:03.999 --> 01:03:05.374
-
DURING THAT TIME THAT YOU\'VE

01:03:05.375 --> 01:03:06.998
-
BOUGHT, YOU ANALYZE THE GROUP,

01:03:06.999 --> 01:03:08.998
-
TRY TO INVOKE GROUP - YOU KNOW,

01:03:08.999 --> 01:03:10.708
-
A DIVISION WITHIN THE GROUP,

01:03:10.709 --> 01:03:11.998
-
DISCREDIT THE MOST ARTICULATE

01:03:11.999 --> 01:03:12.876
-
AND STRIDENT PEOPLE.

01:03:12.877 --> 01:03:14.999
-
IF THEY DON\'T TALK TO YOU AND ON

01:03:15.000 --> 01:03:16.833
-
AIR IT\'S MENTIONED THAT YOU

01:03:16.834 --> 01:03:18.583
-
ASKED A MILLION TIMES AND GAVE

01:03:18.584 --> 01:03:19.875
-
THEM A THOUSAND OPPORTUNITIES

01:03:19.876 --> 01:03:21.666
-
AND THEY STILL DIDN\'T END UP

01:03:21.667 --> 01:03:23.458
-
TALKING TO YOU, WELL, ON A

01:03:23.459 --> 01:03:25.291
-
DAMAGE SCALE THAT\'S LIKE A MAYBE

01:03:25.292 --> 01:03:28.998
-
2, 3, 4. IT\'S MINIMAL.

01:03:28.999 --> 01:03:29.918
-
SO I\'M A 3.

01:03:29.919 --> 01:03:30.998
-
YEAH. THAT\'S RIGHT. YOU\'RE-NOT -

01:03:30.999 --> 01:03:32.998
-
NOT TALKING TO US IS A 3.

01:03:32.999 --> 01:03:33.999
-
YEAH.

01:03:33.999 --> 01:03:34.999
-
OKAY. I\'M A 3.

01:03:34.999 --> 01:03:35.999
-
OKAY.

01:03:36.000 --> 01:03:38.249
-
I\'LL REMEMBER THAT.

01:03:38.250 --> 01:03:40.666
-
WELL, IT TURNS OUT I\'M NOT A 3

01:03:40.667 --> 01:03:41.998
-
TO EVERYONE IN GOVERNMENT. FOR

01:03:41.999 --> 01:03:43.833
-
INSTANCE, I DID HAVE SOME LUCK

01:03:43.834 --> 01:03:45.374
-
WITH A LOCAL OFFICIAL IN CHARGE

01:03:45.375 --> 01:03:46.083
-
OF MONITORING SARNIA\'S

01:03:46.083 --> 01:03:46.999
-
INDUSTRIAL EMISSIONS.

01:03:47.000 --> 01:03:48.999
-
SO THIS IS A REAL HOT SPOT HERE.

01:03:49.000 --> 01:03:51.998
-
YOU\'RE GOT YOUR HANDS FULL, EH?

01:03:51.999 --> 01:03:53.708
-
YEAH. THERE\'S DEFINITELY A

01:03:53.709 --> 01:03:54.998
-
LOT HAPPENING FROM THE

01:03:54.999 --> 01:03:55.918
-
ENVIRONMENTAL SIDE. YES,

01:03:55.919 --> 01:03:57.208
-
ABSOLUTELY. YOU ASKED ABOUT THIS

01:03:57.209 --> 01:03:58.998
-
UH... FUNDING FOR A HEALTH

01:03:58.999 --> 01:04:00.875
-
STUDY? UM... WE ARE AWARE THAT

01:04:00.876 --> 01:04:02.583
-
THERE IS AN INTEREST TO CONDUCT

01:04:02.584 --> 01:04:04.291
-
A HEALTH STUDY IN THE AREA.

01:04:04.292 --> 01:04:05.998
-
UH... DEFINITELY THAT TYPE OF

01:04:05.999 --> 01:04:07.416
-
QUESTION SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO,

01:04:07.417 --> 01:04:08.791
-
SAY, THE HEALTH CANADA.

01:04:08.792 --> 01:04:10.998
-
SO IF THERE IS AN ISSUE SPECIFIC

01:04:10.999 --> 01:04:12.875
-
TO FIRST NATION LANDS, BE IT

01:04:12.876 --> 01:04:14.166
-
HEALTH, BE IT ENVIRONMENT. THE

01:04:14.167 --> 01:04:15.500
-
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS DEFINITELY

01:04:15.501 --> 01:04:17.791
-
IN THE LEAD ON IT. THEY HAVE

01:04:17.792 --> 01:04:18.998
-
RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIRST NATION

01:04:18.999 --> 01:04:20.875
-
LANDS. BUT IN SAYING THAT, IT\'S

01:04:20.876 --> 01:04:21.998
-
IMPORTANT THAT YOU ALSO

01:04:21.999 --> 01:04:23.082
-
UNDERSTAND THAT OUR MINISTRY

01:04:23.083 --> 01:04:24.998
-
WORKS CLOSELY WITH THE CANADIAN

01:04:24.999 --> 01:04:26.998
-
COUNCILS...

01:04:26.999 --> 01:04:28.998
-
AS IF MR. MARONEY\'S JOB

01:04:28.999 --> 01:04:30.458
-
WASN\'T TOUGH ENOUGH DEALING WITH

01:04:30.459 --> 01:04:31.998
-
ALL THE TOWN\'S PETROCHEMICAL

01:04:31.999 --> 01:04:33.998
-
PLANTS, HE\'S GOT TO KEEP ALL

01:04:33.999 --> 01:04:35.998
-
THIS \"WHO DOES WHAT\" STRAIGHT IN

01:04:35.999 --> 01:04:37.998
-
HIS HEAD. AND I\'M LEARNING THAT

01:04:37.999 --> 01:04:38.999
-
THERE\'S A COMPLICATED

01:04:38.999 --> 01:04:39.999
-
BUREAUCRACY THAT ENTANGLES

01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:43.458
-
HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT.

01:04:43.459 --> 01:04:44.998
-
BUT WE LEAVE IT TO THE HEALTH

01:04:44.999 --> 01:04:45.459
-
AGENCIES TO PROVIDE INFORMATION

01:04:45.459 --> 01:04:46.250
-
TO THE PUBLIC ABOUT POTENTIAL

01:04:46.251 --> 01:04:49.041
-
HEALTH IMPACTS.

01:04:49.042 --> 01:04:49.999
-
BUT HEALTH CAUSED BY

01:04:50.000 --> 01:04:51.374
-
ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS...

01:04:51.375 --> 01:04:52.998
-
THAT\'S RIGHT. THAT\'S RIGHT.-IT\'S -

01:04:52.999 --> 01:04:54.708
-
IT\'S INTERCONNECTED.

01:04:54.709 --> 01:04:56.708
-
IT IS. IT IS, YES.

01:04:56.709 --> 01:04:58.082
-
WITHIN DAYS OF MEETING MR.

01:04:58.083 --> 01:04:59.583
-
MARONEY, AN ACCIDENT OCCURS AND

01:04:59.584 --> 01:05:00.998
-
THE TRUTH ABOUT ACCIDENTS IS

01:05:00.999 --> 01:05:01.999
-
THAT THEY SOMETIMES SIGNAL

01:05:02.000 --> 01:05:04.998
-
DEEPER PROBLEMS.

01:05:04.999 --> 01:05:06.998
-
THIS IS THE SECOND LEAK THIS

01:05:06.999 --> 01:05:08.998
-
SUMMER. ON JULY 27TH MORE THAN

01:05:08.999 --> 01:05:10.625
-
20 CONTRACT WORKERS WERE TREATED

01:05:10.626 --> 01:05:12.500
-
AT BLUE WATER HEALTH AFTER BEING

01:05:12.501 --> 01:05:15.166
-
EXPOSED TO A HAZARDOUS VAPOUR.

01:05:15.167 --> 01:05:16.998
-
THE WORD CAME IN THAT THE

01:05:16.999 --> 01:05:18.374
-
PLANT SAID THERE WAS NO OFF-SITE

01:05:18.375 --> 01:05:18.999
-
IMPACT, EVERYTHING\'S BEEN

01:05:18.999 --> 01:05:19.999
-
CONTAINED. WELL, YOU\'RE TRUSTING

01:05:20.000 --> 01:05:21.625
-
THE PLANT TO POLICE ITSELF AND

01:05:21.626 --> 01:05:23.208
-
THE PLANT IS GOING TO BE FINED

01:05:23.209 --> 01:05:26.998
-
FOR THIS INFRACTION.

01:05:26.999 --> 01:05:28.917
-
YOU CAN\'T HAVE ANY FAITH IN A

01:05:28.918 --> 01:05:30.041
-
SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS THEM TO

01:05:30.042 --> 01:05:32.291
-
POLICE THEMSELVES.

01:05:32.292 --> 01:05:32.999
-
WOULD THEY CALL YOU

01:05:33.000 --> 01:05:35.041
-
VOLUNTARILY WITHIN AN HOUR?

01:05:35.042 --> 01:05:35.999
-
THEY ARE REQUIRED, BY LAW, TO

01:05:36.000 --> 01:05:37.416
-
CALL US. THAT\'S RIGHT.

01:05:37.417 --> 01:05:38.625
-
IT\'S UP TO THE COMPANY TO

01:05:38.626 --> 01:05:40.998
-
VOLUNTARILY REPORT THIS.

01:05:40.999 --> 01:05:42.208
-
THEY - THEY ARE REQUIRED BY

01:05:42.209 --> 01:05:43.998
-
LAW TO REPORT IT. IF THEY DO NOT

01:05:43.999 --> 01:05:44.999
-
REPORT IT, THEY ARE SUBJECT TO

01:05:45.000 --> 01:05:47.041
-
PROSECUTION.

01:05:47.042 --> 01:05:48.583
-
HAVE YOU EVER CHARGED-ANYBODY?

01:05:48.584 --> 01:05:49.998
-
THERE HAS BEEN CHARGES,

01:05:49.999 --> 01:05:51.875
-
ABSOLUTELY, FOR - FOR EMISSIONS,

01:05:51.876 --> 01:05:53.791
-
UH, SPILLS TO WATER, SPILLS TO

01:05:53.792 --> 01:05:54.998
-
AIR. WE ISSUE PROVINCIAL

01:05:54.999 --> 01:05:56.583
-
OFFENCES ACT TICKETS SIMILAR TO

01:05:56.584 --> 01:05:57.998
-
LIKE A DRIVING OFFENCE. UH...

01:05:57.999 --> 01:06:00.500
-
WHAT WE DO, THOUGH, IS UH... MY

01:06:00.501 --> 01:06:02.875
-
RESPONSE -

01:06:02.876 --> 01:06:03.292
-
SO THERE WOULD BE FINES

01:06:03.293 --> 01:06:04.374
-
ATTACHED TO THAT.

01:06:04.375 --> 01:06:05.998
-
THAT\'S RIGHT. IT\'S A TICKET -

01:06:05.999 --> 01:06:06.792
-
TICKETABLE OFFENCE, RIGHT?

01:06:06.792 --> 01:06:07.667
-
SO THEN YOU WOULD KNOW HOW

01:06:07.668 --> 01:06:10.708
-
MUCH, ROUGHLY, THEY ARE.

01:06:10.709 --> 01:06:12.374
-
FOR TICKETABLE OFFENCES, IT\'S

01:06:12.375 --> 01:06:15.166
-
IN THE RANGE OF, YOU KNOW - IT\'S

01:06:15.167 --> 01:06:18.208
-
THE $300 TYPE RANGE.

01:06:18.209 --> 01:06:19.998
-
THERE ARE MUCH LARGER FINES

01:06:19.999 --> 01:06:21.708
-
HE DIDN\'T DIVULGE AND SOME OF

01:06:21.709 --> 01:06:22.998
-
THEM WERE LAID AFTER AN

01:06:22.999 --> 01:06:23.999
-
ENVIRONMENTAL SWAT TEAM CRACKED

01:06:24.000 --> 01:06:25.583
-
DOWN AND FOUND A FEW

01:06:25.584 --> 01:06:27.625
- IRREGULARITIES. -WITH
THE EXCEPTION OF ONE, ALL

01:06:27.626 --> 01:06:28.999
-
GOT -

01:06:29.000 --> 01:06:30.458
-
I BELIEVE THAT\'S - I THINK IT

01:06:30.459 --> 01:06:31.708
-
WAS 33 COMPANIES WITH - I CAN

01:06:31.709 --> 01:06:33.998
-
PROVIDE YOU WITH THE -

01:06:33.999 --> 01:06:35.625
-
IT\'S OKAY. YEAH.

01:06:35.626 --> 01:06:36.917
-
THE - THE - A COPY OF THE

01:06:36.918 --> 01:06:37.792
-
REPORT AS WELL, BUT I BELIEVE IT

01:06:37.792 --> 01:06:38.292
-
WAS 34 COMPANIES INSPECTED AND

01:06:38.293 --> 01:06:41.082
-
33 GOT ORDERS.

01:06:41.083 --> 01:06:43.249
-
ISSUES OF CONCERN: FAILURE TO

01:06:43.250 --> 01:06:44.998
-
REGISTER, FAILURE TO COMPLY, NO

01:06:44.999 --> 01:06:46.416
-
CERTIFICATES OF APPROVAL FOR

01:06:46.417 --> 01:06:48.500
-
GROUND WATER, WELLS IN NEED OF

01:06:48.501 --> 01:06:49.998
-
REPAIR, FAILURE TO COMPLY,

01:06:49.999 --> 01:06:51.998
-
FAILURE TO COMPLY, 12 SOURCES OF

01:06:51.999 --> 01:06:53.249
-
EMISSIONS TO AIR OPERATING.

01:06:53.250 --> 01:06:55.998
-
SO IF I READ THAT THERE\'S LIKE

01:06:55.999 --> 01:06:57.041
-
10 MILLION KILOGRAMS OF

01:06:57.042 --> 01:06:58.666
-
REPRODUCTIVE TOXINS THAT HAVE

01:06:58.667 --> 01:07:01.500
-
COME OUT OF THIS AREA, AM I TO

01:07:01.501 --> 01:07:06.833
-
ASSUME THAT THAT\'S SAFE?

01:07:06.834 --> 01:07:08.666
-
WELL, I THINK IF YOU WANT TO

01:07:08.667 --> 01:07:09.998
-
TALK ABOUT THAT, I\'D NEED MORE

01:07:09.999 --> 01:07:10.999
-
SPECIFIC INFORMATION, BUT WHAT

01:07:10.999 --> 01:07:11.999
-
SPECIFIC CONTAMINANTS ARE YOU

01:07:11.999 --> 01:07:12.999
-
TALKING ABOUT AND WHAT\'S THE

01:07:13.000 --> 01:07:14.249
-
QUANTITY OVER WHAT PERIOD OF

01:07:14.250 --> 01:07:15.998
-
TIME? AND I\'D HAVE TO, UH, RAISE

01:07:15.999 --> 01:07:17.458
-
THAT ISSUE WITH SOME OF OUR

01:07:17.459 --> 01:07:18.417
-
TOXICOLOGISTS, FOR EXAMPLE, TO

01:07:18.418 --> 01:07:19.998
-
SEE WHAT THEIR OPINION IS ON

01:07:19.999 --> 01:07:25.998
-
THAT CONCERN YOU HAVE.

01:07:25.999 --> 01:07:27.998
-
IT\'S DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE HE

01:07:27.999 --> 01:07:29.791
-
DOESN\'T KNOW WHAT I\'M TALKING

01:07:29.792 --> 01:07:31.708
-
ABOUT. AFTER ALL, AT LEAST 21

01:07:31.709 --> 01:07:33.166
-
CHEMICAL PLANTS RELEASE SO MUCH

01:07:33.167 --> 01:07:35.082
-
POLLUTION HERE THAT THEY HAVE TO

01:07:35.083 --> 01:07:36.625
-
REPORT THEIR EMISSIONS EVERY

01:07:36.626 --> 01:07:38.998
-
YEAR. IT\'S POSTED ON THE WEB FOR

01:07:38.999 --> 01:07:40.998
-
ANYONE TO SEE. BUT WHAT\'S NOT

01:07:40.999 --> 01:07:42.500
-
THERE IS ANY INFORMATION ABOUT

01:07:42.501 --> 01:07:50.501
-
HEALTH RISKS.

01:07:52.999 --> 01:07:54.998
-
OKAY. SO I GUESS YOU DON\'T HAVE

01:07:54.999 --> 01:07:56.833
-
ANY AIR CONDITIONING. YEAH. NOT

01:07:56.834 --> 01:07:58.208
-
EXACTLY FRESH. THE AIR, NOT

01:07:58.209 --> 01:08:00.166
-
EXACTLY FRESH, BUT I GET YOUR

01:08:00.167 --> 01:08:02.041
-
POINT. IT\'S LIKE 30 DEGREES AND

01:08:02.042 --> 01:08:03.998
-
WE\'RE ON A HIGHWAY. EW, IT

01:08:03.999 --> 01:08:09.998
-
SMELLS...

01:08:09.999 --> 01:08:11.999
-
MR. MARONEY CAN\'T TELL ME MUCH

01:08:12.000 --> 01:08:14.166
-
ABOUT THE DAILY LOAD OF MULTIPLE

01:08:14.167 --> 01:08:15.833
-
CHEMICALS IN SARNIA\'S AIR

01:08:15.834 --> 01:08:17.416
-
BECAUSE NO ONE\'S FULLY MEASURING

01:08:17.417 --> 01:08:19.998
-
IT. I GUESS IF YOU\'RE AFRAID OF

01:08:19.999 --> 01:08:21.666
-
THE ANSWER, DON\'T ASK THE

01:08:21.667 --> 01:08:21.999
-
QUESTION.

01:08:22.000 --> 01:08:23.998
-
HE ALSO CAN\'T TELL ME WHAT

01:08:23.999 --> 01:08:25.917
-
HAPPENS TO CHILDREN AND HUMAN

01:08:25.918 --> 01:08:27.500
-
HEALTH IN GENERAL, WHEN EXPOSED

01:08:27.501 --> 01:08:29.625
-
TO CHRONIC LOW DOSES OF MINI

01:08:29.626 --> 01:08:31.249
-
CHEMICALS BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS,

01:08:31.250 --> 01:08:33.416
-
VERY FEW PEOPLE IN THE WORLD

01:08:33.417 --> 01:08:35.041
-
CAN. THE SCIENCE INVOLVED IN

01:08:35.042 --> 01:08:36.998
-
LOOKING AT CHEMICAL SYNERGIES IS

01:08:36.999 --> 01:08:39.458
-
NOT EASY. BUT IN NEW YORK CITY,

01:08:39.459 --> 01:08:41.166
-
I FOUND SOMEONE STARTING TO

01:08:41.167 --> 01:08:45.374
-
BREAK NEW GROUND.

01:08:45.375 --> 01:08:47.998
-
WHAT WE DECIDED TO DO WAS TO

01:08:47.999 --> 01:08:49.833
-
ENROL OVER 700 PREGNANT WOMEN

01:08:49.834 --> 01:08:51.833
-
AND FOLLOW THEM AND THEIR BABIES

01:08:51.834 --> 01:08:53.291
-
FOR YEARS, AND THE OLDEST

01:08:53.292 --> 01:08:54.998
-
CHILDREN ARE NOW EIGHT YEARS

01:08:54.999 --> 01:08:57.416
-
OLD.

01:08:57.417 --> 01:08:59.082
-
WHAT DR. PERERA AND HER TEAM

01:08:59.083 --> 01:09:00.666
-
DID WAS PUT PERSONAL BACKPACK

01:09:00.667 --> 01:09:02.041
-
AIR MONITORS ON THE WOMEN WHILE

01:09:02.042 --> 01:09:05.875
-
THEY WERE PREGNANT.

01:09:05.876 --> 01:09:07.998
-
AND THESE AIR SAMPLES COLLECT

01:09:07.999 --> 01:09:09.998
-
A SAMPLE AT THE BREATHING ZONE

01:09:09.999 --> 01:09:12.791
-
OVER A PERIOD OF 48 HOURS AND

01:09:12.792 --> 01:09:14.998
-
THEN THE FILTERS ARE TAKEN AND

01:09:14.999 --> 01:09:16.875
-
SENT TO A LABORATORY AND

01:09:16.876 --> 01:09:18.041
-
ANALYZED FOR LEVELS OF

01:09:18.042 --> 01:09:19.791
-
COMBUSTION BY-PRODUCTS THAT COME

01:09:19.792 --> 01:09:21.500
-
FROM TRAFFIC EMISSIONS AND POWER

01:09:21.501 --> 01:09:23.291
-
PLANTS, FOSSIL FUELS A MAJOR

01:09:23.292 --> 01:09:25.082
-
SOURCE. AND THEY\'RE ANALYZED FOR

01:09:25.083 --> 01:09:27.791
-
PESTICIDES AS WELL.

01:09:27.792 --> 01:09:29.833
-
THE AMAZING THING DR. PERERA

01:09:29.834 --> 01:09:31.998
-
COULD SHOW ME WAS THE EFFECT

01:09:31.999 --> 01:09:33.500
-
THESE CHEMICALS HAD ON THE

01:09:33.501 --> 01:09:35.041
-
NEWBORNS\' DNA. AND THEN WHEN

01:09:35.042 --> 01:09:36.998
-
TESTED AT AGE THREE, THE

01:09:36.999 --> 01:09:38.791
-
CHILDREN MOST EXPOSED TO THESE

01:09:38.792 --> 01:09:40.917
-
CHEMICALS WERE FOUND TO HAVE THE

01:09:40.918 --> 01:09:42.166
-
LOWEST COGNITIVE SCORES.

01:09:42.167 --> 01:09:44.458
-
A NUMBER OF THE KEY ELEMENTS

01:09:44.459 --> 01:09:46.291
-
IS THE USE OF BIOLOGIC MARKERS

01:09:46.292 --> 01:09:47.998
-
AND THESE ARE SIMPLY SIGNALS

01:09:47.999 --> 01:09:49.998
-
THAT WE CAN MEASURE IN THE

01:09:49.999 --> 01:09:50.999
-
LABORATORY. IT\'S ACTUAL DAMAGE

01:09:51.000 --> 01:09:53.458
-
TO A CRITICAL TARGET LIKE DNA OR

01:09:53.459 --> 01:09:57.998
-
PROTEIN.

01:09:57.999 --> 01:10:00.249
-
SO HOW DOES THIS WORK? WE

01:10:00.250 --> 01:10:01.998
-
KNOW THAT SCIENTISTS USED TO

01:10:01.999 --> 01:10:03.998
-
THINK THAT THE BIGGER THE DOES

01:10:03.999 --> 01:10:05.998
-
OF A SINGLE POISON, THE SICKER

01:10:05.999 --> 01:10:07.875
-
YOU GOT. NOW THEY KNOW THAT

01:10:07.876 --> 01:10:09.208
-
TIMING AND ORGAN DEVELOPMENT IS

01:10:09.209 --> 01:10:10.998
-
EVEN MORE IMPORTANT AND THAT\'S

01:10:10.999 --> 01:10:12.998
-
WHAT I THINK DR. PERERA IS

01:10:12.999 --> 01:10:13.999
-
TRYING TO TELL ME.

01:10:14.000 --> 01:10:15.416
-
GROWTH INVOLVES MILLIONS OF

01:10:15.417 --> 01:10:16.875
-
COMPLEX CELLULAR CHANGES THAT

01:10:16.876 --> 01:10:18.291
-
NEED PRECISE MESSAGES FROM GENES

01:10:18.292 --> 01:10:20.708
-
TELLING CELLS WHAT TO DO AND HOW

01:10:20.709 --> 01:10:22.998
-
TO DO IT. BUT TOXINS CAN TRICK

01:10:22.999 --> 01:10:24.998
-
THE GENES INTO GIVING THE CELLS

01:10:24.999 --> 01:10:25.999
-
THE WRONG INSTRUCTIONS, SETTING

01:10:26.000 --> 01:10:28.458
-
THEM ON A COURSE OF DISEASE AS

01:10:28.459 --> 01:10:30.458
-
CHILDREN OR LATER IN LIFE, AS

01:10:30.459 --> 01:10:34.625
-
ADULTS.

01:10:34.626 --> 01:10:36.374
-
THIS IS A LITTLE - A DIAGRAM

01:10:36.375 --> 01:10:37.625
-
SHOWING THE DNA DOUBLE HELIX,

01:10:37.626 --> 01:10:40.500
-
WHICH YOU CAN SEE.

01:10:40.501 --> 01:10:41.998
-
RIGHT.

01:10:41.999 --> 01:10:43.998
-
AND THIS CHEMICAL, WHICH IS

01:10:43.999 --> 01:10:45.791
-
CALLED BENZPYRENE - IT\'S FOUND

01:10:45.792 --> 01:10:47.416
-
IN TAILPIPES OF CARS, BUSES,

01:10:47.417 --> 01:10:49.041
-
TRUCKS - DIESEL IS A

01:10:49.042 --> 01:10:50.666
-
PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT SOURCE IN

01:10:50.667 --> 01:10:52.833
-
THE URBAN SETTING. IT ALSO COMES

01:10:52.834 --> 01:10:54.458
-
FROM POWER PLANT SMOKE STACKS,

01:10:54.459 --> 01:10:57.208
-
COAL BURNING IS A - IS A RICH

01:10:57.209 --> 01:10:58.833
-
SOURCE, SO TO SPEAK.

01:10:58.834 --> 01:10:59.998
-
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THESE

01:10:59.999 --> 01:11:01.998
-
CHEMICALS GET INTO THE BODY

01:11:01.999 --> 01:11:03.917
-
THEY\'RE ACTIVATED BY ENZYMES TO

01:11:03.918 --> 01:11:07.998
-
A FORM THAT CAN BOND TO DNA -

01:11:07.999 --> 01:11:08.501
-
RIGHT.

01:11:08.502 --> 01:11:12.208
-
- AND IT GLOMS ON IN SUCH A

01:11:12.209 --> 01:11:14.998
-
WAY THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY MEASURE

01:11:14.999 --> 01:11:17.291
-
IT, DETECT IT. THAT DAMAGE CAN

01:11:17.292 --> 01:11:19.458
-
RESULT IN MUTATION, WHICH THEN

01:11:19.459 --> 01:11:20.999
-
CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS

01:11:21.000 --> 01:11:22.998
-
DEVELOPMENTAL PROBLEM OR DEFECT

01:11:22.999 --> 01:11:26.998
-
OR CANCER.

01:11:26.999 --> 01:11:28.999
-
IF EVER THERE WAS PROOF OF

01:11:29.000 --> 01:11:30.791
-
DAMAGE AT THE MOLECULAR LEVEL,

01:11:30.792 --> 01:11:32.917
-
THIS WAS IT. DR. PERERA TELLS ME

01:11:32.918 --> 01:11:34.166
-
WE DON\'T KNOW WHETHER SUCH

01:11:34.167 --> 01:11:35.917
-
DAMAGE WILL REPAIR ITSELF OR

01:11:35.918 --> 01:11:37.708
-
NOT, IN TIME. SCIENCE JUST CAN\'T

01:11:37.709 --> 01:11:41.500
-
PREDICT THAT YET.

01:11:41.501 --> 01:11:49.501
[♪♪]

01:11:51.999 --> 01:11:53.583
-
WITH RESPECT TO THE EXPOSURES

01:11:53.584 --> 01:11:54.998
-
THAT WE\'VE BEEN STUDYING, WE

01:11:54.999 --> 01:11:56.249
-
HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS TO SHARE,

01:11:56.250 --> 01:11:57.998
-
BECAUSE WE DON\'T WANT TO BE TOO

01:11:57.999 --> 01:11:59.833
-
GLOOMY HERE. THE BASIC GOOD NEWS

01:11:59.834 --> 01:12:01.998
-
IS THAT BY THEIR - BY THEIR VERY

01:12:01.999 --> 01:12:02.999
-
NATURE, THESE EXPOSURES ARE

01:12:03.000 --> 01:12:04.998
-
PREVENTABLE.

01:12:04.999 --> 01:12:06.082
-
PREVENTABLE, YES, BUT

01:12:06.083 --> 01:12:07.291
-
REGULATORS HAVE TO BELIEVE

01:12:07.292 --> 01:12:08.583
-
THERE\'S A PROBLEM WORTH

01:12:08.584 --> 01:12:09.998
-
REGULATING IN THE FIRST PLACE

01:12:09.999 --> 01:12:11.917
-
AND THAT\'S ACTUALLY NOT SO EASY

01:12:11.918 --> 01:12:14.249
-
TO ACHIEVE.

01:12:14.250 --> 01:12:16.583
-
WELL, IF WE INSIST THAT THE

01:12:16.584 --> 01:12:17.998
-
ONLY PROOF THAT WOULD BE

01:12:17.999 --> 01:12:19.998
-
SUFFICIENT FOR US TO TAKE ACTION

01:12:19.999 --> 01:12:21.999
-
TO PREVENT HARM IS SICK OR DEAD

01:12:22.000 --> 01:12:23.998
-
PEOPLE, THEN WE ARE TREATING OUR

01:12:23.999 --> 01:12:26.166
-
CHILDREN AND THE REST OF US LIKE

01:12:26.167 --> 01:12:28.041
-
LAB RATS IN A VAST, UNCONTROLLED

01:12:28.042 --> 01:12:30.998
-
EXPERIMENT.

01:12:30.999 --> 01:12:32.875
-
AND THAT\'S PROBABLY HOW SOME

01:12:32.876 --> 01:12:33.998
-
WINDSORITES FEEL ABOUT THEIR

01:12:33.999 --> 01:12:35.166
-
KIDS. REMEMBER THE STUDY FROM

01:12:35.167 --> 01:12:36.374
-
THE CENTRE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL

01:12:36.375 --> 01:12:37.998
-
HEALTH, THE ONE ON AIR QUALITY

01:12:37.999 --> 01:12:38.999
-
EFFECTS ON CHILDREN?

01:12:38.999 --> 01:12:39.999
-
WELL, INITIAL FINDINGS WERE

01:12:40.000 --> 01:12:41.041
-
RELEASED AND SHOWED THAT

01:12:41.042 --> 01:12:42.666
-
WINDSOR\'S AIR AND ALL THAT

01:12:42.667 --> 01:12:43.998
-
DIESEL RUNNING THROUGH THE TOWN

01:12:43.999 --> 01:12:45.998
-
IS MAYBE NOT SUCH A PROBLEM FOR

01:12:45.999 --> 01:12:47.416
-
THEIR KIDS AFTER ALL, REGARDLESS

01:12:47.417 --> 01:12:49.458
-
OF HOW CLOSE TO THE BRIDGE THEY

01:12:49.459 --> 01:12:53.998
-
LIVED.

01:12:53.999 --> 01:12:56.374
-
I TRIED TO ASK THE CENTRE\'S

01:12:56.375 --> 01:12:58.625
-
DIRECTOR ABOUT THE STUDY, BUT

01:12:58.626 --> 01:13:01.249
-
SHE NEVER RETURNED MY CALLS.

01:13:01.250 --> 01:13:03.583
-
I\'M AWARE OF THAT STUDY AND

01:13:03.584 --> 01:13:05.917
-
I\'M AWARE OF WHAT THEY DID. THE

01:13:05.918 --> 01:13:07.791
-
SAMPLE SIZE WAS TOO SMALL TO

01:13:07.792 --> 01:13:09.082
-
REACH ANY FIRM CONCLUSIONS AND

01:13:09.083 --> 01:13:10.998
-
TO SAY, FROM THAT STUDY, THAT

01:13:10.999 --> 01:13:12.998
-
THERE WAS NO EFFECT IMPLIES THAT

01:13:12.999 --> 01:13:14.208
-
THERE\'S SOMETHING UNUSUAL ABOUT

01:13:14.209 --> 01:13:16.041
-
ASTHMA IN CANADA THAT ALL THE

01:13:16.042 --> 01:13:17.998
-
OTHER STUDIES THAT HAVE FOUND

01:13:17.999 --> 01:13:19.374
-
EFFECTS ON CHILDREN IN SAO

01:13:19.375 --> 01:13:20.998
-
PAULO, IN MEXICO, IN BRUSSELS,

01:13:20.999 --> 01:13:22.998
-
IN SPAIN, IN LONDON ARE WRONG?

01:13:22.999 --> 01:13:24.998
-
NO. I DON\'T THINK THE LUNGS OF

01:13:24.999 --> 01:13:26.875
-
THE CANADIANS LOOK ANY DIFFERENT

01:13:26.876 --> 01:13:28.791
-
THAN THE LUNGS OF ANYBODY ELSE

01:13:28.792 --> 01:13:30.998
-
THAT\'S A HUMAN BEING. IN NO WAY

01:13:30.999 --> 01:13:32.625
-
DOES THIS STUDY EXONERATE THE

01:13:32.626 --> 01:13:36.583
-
CONDITIONS OF WINDSOR, ONTARIO.

01:13:36.584 --> 01:13:38.458
-
IN FOUR MONTHS, AFTER SARNIA

01:13:38.459 --> 01:13:39.998
-
ASKED FOR AN INDEPENDENT STUDY

01:13:39.999 --> 01:13:40.999
-
OF THE REGION\'S HEALTH,

01:13:41.000 --> 01:13:42.041
-
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS GAVE THEIR

01:13:42.042 --> 01:13:43.583
-
ANSWER. THEY BASICALLY LEFT THE

01:13:43.584 --> 01:13:44.999
-
PEOPLE OF SARNIA TO FEND FOR

01:13:45.000 --> 01:13:46.583
-
THEMSELVES SAYING, THEY HAD NO

01:13:46.584 --> 01:13:48.416
-
MONEY FOR SUCH A BIG STUDY BUT

01:13:48.417 --> 01:13:49.625
-
WOULD LEND SOME SCIENTIFIC

01:13:49.626 --> 01:13:53.208
-
EXPERTISE.

01:13:53.209 --> 01:13:55.249
-
WHAT HAPPENS IN THESE

01:13:55.250 --> 01:13:57.291
-
COMMUNITIES, WHILE IT IS MOST

01:13:57.292 --> 01:13:59.374
-
TRAUMATIC AND MOST IMMEDIATE FOR

01:13:59.375 --> 01:14:01.998
-
THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE, THE

01:14:01.999 --> 01:14:04.998
-
TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT ALL

01:14:04.999 --> 01:14:07.166
-
OF THIS STUFF IS ACCUMULATING IN

01:14:07.167 --> 01:14:09.875
-
THE WHOLE GLOBE AND WHAT\'S AT

01:14:09.876 --> 01:14:12.041
-
RISK TODAY IS OUR WHOLE PLANET.

01:14:12.042 --> 01:14:14.998
-
IT\'S NOT JUST A COMMUNITY OR A

01:14:14.999 --> 01:14:16.875
-
NEIGHBOURHOOD OR A FAMILY.

01:14:16.876 --> 01:14:18.374
-
BECAUSE WE HAVE THIS

01:14:18.375 --> 01:14:19.708
-
UNCONTROLLED ECONOMIC ACTIVITY

01:14:19.709 --> 01:14:21.875
-
THAT DOESN\'T SEE HUMAN HEALTH

01:14:21.876 --> 01:14:23.998
-
AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH IN THE

01:14:23.999 --> 01:14:29.291
-
EQUATION.

01:14:29.292 --> 01:14:30.998
-
IT HELPS, THOUGH, THAT WITH

01:14:30.999 --> 01:14:32.625
-
GROWING RECOGNITION OF A PROBLEM

01:14:32.626 --> 01:14:33.998
-
OFTEN COMES SOME HOPE THAT

01:14:33.999 --> 01:14:36.374
-
THINGS CAN CHANGE.

01:14:36.375 --> 01:14:38.625
-
YOU HAVE TO TAKE A STAND

01:14:38.626 --> 01:14:39.459
-
BECAUSE IT\'S AFFECTING

01:14:39.460 --> 01:14:40.833
-
EVERYBODY. IT\'S NOT JUST

01:14:40.834 --> 01:14:41.667
-
AAMJIWNAANG. WE\'RE THE

01:14:41.668 --> 01:14:42.998
-
QUINTESSENTIAL WORKER BECAUSE WE

01:14:42.999 --> 01:14:44.833
-
DON\'T LEAVE. WE\'RE HERE 24 HOURS

01:14:44.834 --> 01:14:46.625

01:16:09.834 --> 01:16:10.667
-
RESULTS OF THE STUDY, HOW

01:16:10.668 --> 01:16:11.998
-
DID YOU FEEL?

01:16:11.999 --> 01:16:12.918
-
I WASN\'T VERY SURPRISED,

01:16:12.919 --> 01:16:13.998
-
ACTUALLY.

01:16:13.999 --> 01:16:14.999
-
WELL...

01:16:15.000 --> 01:16:16.791

01:16:21.999 --> 01:16:23.041
-
WELL, IF MY DAUGHTER KNOWS

01:16:23.042 --> 01:16:24.374
-
THIS, MANY OTHERS DO, TOO. SO

01:16:24.375 --> 01:16:26.998
-
WHAT\'S THE MAJOR CHANGE NEEDED?

01:16:26.999 --> 01:16:29.166
-
THE BIGGEST CHANGE THAT WE

01:16:29.167 --> 01:16:30.998
-
NEED TO MAKE IN CANADIAN

01:16:30.999 --> 01:16:33.208

01:16:33.209 --> 01:16:35.500

01:16:35.501 --> 01:16:37.875

EMPHASIS IS ON US, AS CANADIAN

01:16:37.876 --> 01:16:39.625

01:16:39.626 --> 01:16:40.209

01:16:40.210 --> 01:16:41.998

PROBLEM WITH THESE CHEMICALS

01:16:43.209 --> 01:16:45.583
-
ONCE THEY\'RE ON THE MARKET AND

01:16:45.584 --> 01:16:47.416
-
ONCE THEY\'RE IN THE ENVIRONMENT.

01:16:47.417 --> 01:16:49.791
-
I MEAN, THAT\'S CRAZY.

01:16:49.792 --> 01:16:50.998
-
THERE IS A WONDERFUL SAYING

01:16:50.999 --> 01:16:52.458
-
FROM THE TALMUD: A GROUP OF

01:16:52.459 --> 01:16:53.998
-
PEOPLE ARE TOLD THAT THEY HAVE

01:16:53.999 --> 01:16:55.583
-
TO DEAL WITH A PROBLEM AND THEY

01:16:55.584 --> 01:16:56.833
-
SAY, \"IT\'S TOO BIG. IT\'S

01:16:56.834 --> 01:16:57.998
-
IMPOSSIBLE. WE CAN\'T DO IT. WE

01:16:57.999 --> 01:16:59.249
-
DON\'T HAVE THE RIGHT TOOLS.

01:16:59.250 --> 01:17:00.998
-
WE\'LL NEVER GET IT DONE.\" AND

01:17:00.999 --> 01:17:02.583
-
THE ANSWER IS: IT\'S NOT FOR YOU

01:17:02.584 --> 01:17:04.082
-
TO FINISH THE TASK. BUT YOU MUST

01:17:04.083 --> 01:17:09.082
