The semi-trailer that was hauling uranium oxide and rolled in the ditch on Highway 11 was lucky. Apparently, there was no spill of this deadly material to clean up ... this time.
Imagine how many times this scenario (and worse) will be repeated as Saskatchewan feverishly claws more uranium out of the ground for markets in the United States and Asia.
Enter the world of greed: out of control export of our raw resources and import of cheap Asian goods along the NAFTA Super Corridor, Agrivision's Smart Port plan to sort and re-route trucks and containers -- all to keep the corporate black suits rolling in their millions and billions. Governance to protect people and where we have to live be damned!
