No EIS data, no actual water supply identified for this project. It's pretty much sitting in a floodplain and this will destroy existing A1 farmlands, forests etc. but the scale of this thing is absolutely HUGE.

I am concerned because it appears this firm does no properly communicate the nature of these legal risks to potential home owners. This in my view, appears misleading because they are projecting an image that does not match the existing circumstance of this significant risk. I do not know if shareholders related to this venture are being reasonably informed either. </div><div id="yiv2739692615yui_3_16_0_1_1452579228965_2357" class=""><br id="yui_3_16_0_1_1452581304056_2625" class=""></div><div id="yiv2739692615yui_3_16_0_1_1452579228965_2357" class="">In Caledon this same scenario resulted in the occupation of land by protesters. Tens of millions of dollars were spent on policing, property devaluation, damaged property and eventually the Province had to purchase the land in settlement agreement. There was a court process as to whether or not settlement monies could be taxed and in the judgement it chronicles all the issues that took place as a direct result of the conflicts that arose due to lack of First Nation's consent. That ruling is online here: </div><div id="yiv2739692615yui_3_16_0_1_1452579228965_2359" class=""><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.thor.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/2014-TCC-192.pdf" id="yiv2739692615yui_3_16_0_1_1452579228965_2493" style="color: rgb(25, 106, 212);" class="">http://www.thor.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/2014-TCC-192.pdf</a></div><div id="yiv2739692615yui_3_16_0_1_1452579228965_2359" class=""><br id="yui_3_16_0_1_1452581304056_2631" class=""></div><div id="yiv2739692615yui_3_16_0_1_1452579228965_2355" class="">I told the Competitions Bureau is my hope by reporting this it will better protect consumers and related investors from the adverse impacts of a repeat scenario. Don't let folks buy in unless they reasonably are informed of the risks. In doing this it will also hopefully motivate companies to facilitate proper negotiations with First Nations prior to such ventures.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv2739692615yui_3_16_0_1_1452579228965_2362" class=""><br id="yui_3_16_0_1_1452581304056_2637" class=""></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv2739692615yui_3_16_0_1_1452579228965_2362" class="">Louisette Lanteigne</div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv2739692615yui_3_16_0_1_1452579228965_2362" class="">700 Star Flower Ave.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv2739692615yui_3_16_0_1_1452579228965_2362" class="">Waterloo Ont.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv2739692615yui_3_16_0_1_1452579228965_2362" class="">N2V 2L2</div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv2739692615yui_3_16_0_1_1452579228965_2362" class=""><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv2739692615yui_3_16_0_1_1452579228965_2362" class=""><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, mono; font-size: 13.3333px;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1452581304056_2934" class="">Disclaimer: Louisette Lanteigne accepts no liability for the content of this email, or for the consequences of any actions taken on the basis of the information provided.</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, mono; font-size: 13.3333px;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1452581304056_3017" class=""> Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author.</span><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1452581304056_2369" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1452581304056_2369" dir="ltr"><br></div></div></body></html>
