The case filed by Kebaowek First Nation against the siting of a nuke waste dump on the #Ottawa river sets the stage for a legal test of how much sway the UN Declaration Act holds in Cdn courts.

Nuclear industry hypes "recycling" reactor fuel. Yet reprocessing has been banned in the US since 1977 to stop nuclear weapons proliferation. How did Canada hire two Texas companies involved with nuclear weapons to run our federal nuclear facilities? Read: https://t.co/dS2lbUH5iz

Yet another First Nation does not consent to the radioactive waste dump that the federal government is building upstream of Ottawa on the Ottawa River: "This approval...is an egregious violation of our Indigenous law, Ona’ken’age’win." #KichiSibi#FPIC

Gatineau's mayor is disappointed with federal approval of massive radioactive waste dump near the #OttawaRiver. What about the drinking water of Ottawans, Montrealers and so many more? What about the endangered species in the Kichi Sibi? What about no consent from FNs? #UNDRIP
Décision décevante pour #Gatineau. Soulève des préoccupations cruciales quant à la sécurité d'eau potable de millions de résidents. Nous continuerons à insister pour des mesures adéquates afin de minimiser les risques pour nos citoyens le long de la rivière des Outaouais. #polmun
Green light today to a #radioactive#waste dump next to the #OttawaRiver is hard to believe, since 10 #Algonquin Nations did not consent. The #federal government will be funding this dump with your tax dollars! @CanEnvLawAssn comments. https://t.co/iXtb4UPq4Q #ottnews
The @CNSC_CCSN has approved a nuke waste dump, an above-ground mound, upstream of #Ottawa, to hold up to a million tonnes of deadly radioactive waste. All dumps leak.

Thank you @MargaretAtwood! Everyone please sign this petition by Wed. (Jan 10) at 2 pm, calling on the federal government to not license a giant nuclear waste dump next to the Ottawa River and to respect First Nations & UNDRIP. https://t.co/aEB8m64yHx
Um, why is anyone even thinking of disposing of nuclear waste close to the surface and near a river system that provides drinking water to millions? And on Indigenous land, without informed consent? Who thought this one up? ???

"If ever there was a time for public health to rise to the fore, this was it...In fact, public health agents did the opposite, telling people they were powerless...that all we could do was avoid human contact and wait for Big Pharma to come to the rescue." https://t.co/EqLkPj2zl2

Paper mail will always be far more effective than email. NHPPA wants to make sure that MP offices have "wheelbarrows" of paper mail such that they are unable to give attention to any other issue. Watch the full video here👇

Weird. Not a speck of media coverage of the @Inquiry_Canada National Citizens Inquiry. 3 days of hearings in Ottawa, 8-city national tour. Hm. Just finished testimony of former Radio Canada employee on how he and many others were mistreated. Have a listen. https://t.co/2ekcAJPk76
