 | Adams Mine Oct. 11, 2000 News footage of Toronto City Hall voting to send Toronto's garbage to Adams Mine in Northern Ontario. The vote came at the height of a massive road and rail blockade and bedlam at Toronto City Hall. The deal then collapsed in the face of a Native land claim, the threat of major civil disobedience and the fact that this crack pot garbage plan (to wash garbage with 360 million litres of ground water a year for 1000 years) carried too much liability for anyone to gamble on. Check out the great footage of Jack Layton as city councillor. |
