Hahahaha! Yeah, only private companies can dump their trash there.

Doiiiiiiii.

Landfill: Private

Contractor: Private

Government: Employs contractors

Along comes the lobbyists for literally the "Waste Management Business", saying, oh shit there's bodies in our dump it seems. Gov better finance digging the whole thing up and dispose of it elsewhere, on the governments/taxpayers buck.

Stock goes brrrrrr.

Not saying this is literally what's going on, just that that exact thing has happened so many times it gets tiring predicting it.

You can cut the air in India with a chainsaw.

They are going there to clean up the toxic chemicals the government dumped there for decades. They are not looking for bodies. If bodies show up, maybe they'll announce it but this smells very very suspicious.

I don't like particularly this one either:

UN reminds Canada, Manitoba they’re breaching international law by not searching landfill

Hoser you're breaking international law, not cool eh?

The first thing that struck my mind. Maybe they're all about finding the victims, but while they're there, maybe they will also remove some chemical buildup or sanitize the area. I mean they will have to anyway, at some point, but this way they don't have to take political responsibility for it, because it's all a goodwill joint operation between states in order to find those poor missing people that they were responsible for killing in the first place, not the ecological disaster they created there in the first place just to cash the money that would otherwise have gotten spent on disposing properly of chemical waste or whatever.

This is just my bleak cynical look at it, I have no evidence or proof that this is taking place, only life long experience of how it always plays out. I am not from Canada and have not read much about this particular case- just once again I smell that same distinct odor of more shit being hid beneath the surface.

E1: $90M??!?! Holy shit are they building a mine or something?

E2: "We understand the desire to leave no stone unturned," said a statement attributed to Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson and Indigenous Reconciliation and Northern Relations Minister Eileen Clarke.

"However, the search process described in the report is complex, and comes with long-term human health and safety concerns that simply cannot be ignored."

I wonder what those health risks are. I wonder what they really buried down there together with those victims that will take $90M to clean up sift through for evidence. Something is so very fucking sus here.

Sounds like they are cleaning up the landfill and can excuse the expenditure by citing concerns over missing women, to me. But I have grown very cynical over the decades, owing to seeing that shit all the time. This time it's probably different though, who knows, sometimes experience gets it wrong. Like, there is always a slight rounding error representing acts that could hypothetically be ascribed to goodwill and responsibility.

I would like to see exactly how they are allocating these funds, which contractors they are going to employ, and what the search will entail visavis manpower, equipment, logistics. $40M goes fast. Surely they will have to move a lot of garbage around, and they will have to move it into something and do something with it. So it's gonna be a landfill cleanup on the taxpayer's buck, instead of the corps' who are involved running them.

Edit: >privately owned Prairie Green landfill

Yeah gee I would probably start asking questions at this point, but who wants to be a conspiratorial nutcase, right.

It's not the ideas, we have the solutions, it's getting everyone aboard.

About time that trickle started trickle upwards

'We suggest: not paying"

I'm up for some good old testicle hanging.

Because they know that they won't directly benefit, that it will pose a threat to the old power structures they are in control of and know, because conservatives (and old people) by their nature are scared of progress and new things, because giving in to some level of equality would mean that they were wrong on any number of other things and that conservative ideology might not actually bring about the best possible society.

They see themselves as naturally privileged, and anything that may pose a threat to their power dominance will always be fought, just like in feudal times. It was never about money for them, the money was only a means to an end, to make sure social division and hierarchies were upheld and protected. If you start messing with the money, however, that would be the first birth pangs of a new revolution, and they know whose heads are going to roll.

Giving a fair share to everyone, even hypothetically, would be like admitting that the Emperor doesn't wear shoes, and then socks, and then pants, and then all the other things and then all of a sudden we find them standing there all nekkid with their dick in their hands like a bunch of old fat white dudes jerking each other off in the middle of the town square.
