Broken system
What is the point of a Federal environmental review when it does not properly assess a key issue as ponted out by the court? This overly complex and drawn-out process created by the government and its bureacrats is a complete failure.
>>>MILTON, Ontario — A Canadian court has blocked Canadian National Railway’s plans for its Milton Logistics Hub, a $250 million intermodal project first proposed in 2015 and approved by the federal government in 2021....The Bay Observer news site reports that Justice Henry S. Brown wrote that diesel exhaust contains “pollutants, some of which are known to be toxic to human health, in respect of which there is no safe level of human exposure.” Brown called it “inexplicable” that the impact on humans was not considered in the government’s decision.
>>>Authorization to build the Project was subject to Canada’s most extensive environmental review process resulting in an approval including 325 conditions designed to protect both the community and the environment.
