Dump Site 41, a proposed dump on the pristine Alliston Aquifer, has become one of the most contentious environmental issues in Ontario today. This week, Living at the Barricades speaks with Mark Calzavara of The Council of Canadians, and Ray Millar, a resident of Tiny Township in anticipation of a major rally set for July 25, 2009. We’ll also hear from local residents who used our call in number to tell us why on they think the Ontario government and Simcoe County officials seem determined to build a dump on one of the purest sources of water in Canada.

Music on this weeks show:
Trash – New York Dolls
My heart is a piece of garbage. Fight Seagulls! Fight! – Rae Spoon
We live in a Dump – They Might Be Giants
