People choose to live in Dresden because it's a small town. It doesn't have the big city traffic and noise pollution. The removal of this environmental assessment opens the door to easily approve this proposed dump. Read more

Premier Doug Ford and his government are taking the easy way out. Rather than investigating further to find a more suitable location, they're trying to change our laws to get around road blocks and put in a dump quickly. Read more

Doug Ford said we need a solution for waste so we don't have to rely on the United States. Does a landfill have to be that solution? Has the government considered other options, or investigated how other countries handle their own waste? Have they looked at Singapore before? Read more

This project is geographically too close to members in the community especially schools. The associated traffic would be disruptive an alternate location should be considered that does not impact the people of Dresden.

I am against Ontario's Bill 5, officially titled the Protect Ontario By Unleashing Our Economy Act, especially its impact on the Dresden landfill project.

Using a tariff war to justify bypassing the environmental assessment is short sighted and wrong. There is a reason for such processes in place. Doug Ford does not care about rural parts of this province and this is clearly showing it. Read more

The site of this proposal is most inappropriate! The boundary of this site and the boundary of town are separated by only a single country road. The entire town lies inside the recommended distance from a landfill. No one is safe. Read more
