Everything who thinks it would be cool to have your favorite wilderness lake turned into a toxic waste Technorati Tags: , , please raise your hand.

OK. You can go.

The rest of you might find this next bewildering: From Taunted by Waters:

Lakes across Canada face being turned into mine dump sites – reports CBC News, which claims to have details of 16 Canadian lakes that are to be “officially but quietly” – love that bit – “reclassified as toxic dump sites for the mines. The lakes include prime wilderness fishing lakes from British Columbia to Newfoundland.”

Sure, Singlebarbed might enjoy fishing a glow-in-the-dark lake, but the rest of us are probably wondering exactly how you “reclassify” a wilderness lake as a toxic dump site.

Then again, if there’s enough money in it, a politician can usually be bought found to handle the paperwork on almost anything.

See you fishing a toxic dump site, Tom Chandler.
