Of course, they have a point. In response, “Toronto is launching a review of all areas that could pose a potential hazard to nearby homes” in order to “identify any other facilities that may be operating close to residential communities.” I humbly suggest they not forget to consider Pickering and Darlington in their review, especially considering recent nuclear safety developments.

Stephen Harper took advantage of Dion's presence at Bali, and the liberal party was without a key source of its cool-headedness. I'm ashamed of this bill, and hope that we can get a delay of execution. We should not be moving ahead without substantial debate on the issue. The stakes are too high.

Rather than let Harper frame this as a decision between public safety and ability to distribute medical isotopes for people, this should be framed as a decision by Harper (and the rest of parliament – shame on them!) to:
- allow operation of a nuclear reactor with a lack of safety mechanisms
- override the independent federal government agency that regulates the use of nuclear energy and material to protect health, safety, security and the environment
- allow the nuclear industry to monitor itself
- ensure profits for medical industry
- ensure stock value of Life Sciences firm MDS remains high.
