No! The decision to impose a new treatment system on the Capital Region’s core was based not on science, or engineering studies, or cost-benefit analysis, or environmental-impact studies, or any logical process involving identifying a problem and designing a solution. Rather it was a political decision in response to some active special-interest groups, the antics of a clown in a turd suit, and some unfavourable press. It’s all about image!
