Any Correlation between
Political Corruption and Walkerton's Tragedy?

how many friends
We have been writing about the lack of common ethics by our Prime Minister Jean Chretien⁽¹⁾,

an educated lawyer; and we wrote about our phony Premier Roy Romanow⁽²⁾, an educated

constitutional lawyer, who allows his own government to break its own laws⁽³⁾. Jean Chretien

has been in politics for thirty-seven years, and Roy Romanow has been in politics for

thirty-three years. You can only imagine how many friends they have been making in their

position of power for such a long time.

bottom
line
There are social indications, that in the last thirty years Canada has been living in its past glory,

and that is why our power hungry leadership and bureaucratic fabric has been eroding little by

little to reach now what seems to be the bottom line. I say the bottom line, because it appears that

Canada is rejoicing the present phenomenal economic growth which will provide budgeted

surpluses; and I say the bottom line, as I reflect to the Walkerton's E. coli outbreak which ended

in seven known deaths and another 2,300 known illnesses⁽⁴⁾.

two
decades
I said known deaths and known illnesses because we will never know how much damage has

been caused by the management of the Walkerton's Public Utilities Commission (PUC). Stan

Koebel, the manager at PUC, and his brother Frank Koebel, foreman at PUC, have both testified

that in the last two decades they have been mislabelling water samples, they have been fudging

critical safety records, and they have been drinking alcohol at work with their own employees⁽⁵⁾.

isolated
incident
This situation went on for twenty years, and you just tell me that this is just an isolated incident.

No, it was not an isolated incident, and it involved the concerted corruption of the provincial

inspectors at the Ontario Ministry of Environment as well; who knows, maybe these same

inspectors joined their pals, Frank and Stan, and they all got merry and drank together at the

PUC.

statistical correlation study
Yes, I understand, people would tell me that really I can't mix apples and oranges, and for

instance, I am out to lunch when I try to correlate the Walkerton's E. coli outbreak to the

political corruption. Yes, I would agree with these people, but just to be sure, maybe, we

should commission a statistical correlation study. And for the right price, maybe, we can

even be able to engage the services of Dr. David Cassidy⁽⁶⁾.
