BOYCOTT IRVING Our Government says IRVING owes us $ 42, 200, 000.00 for eleanlng up its mess
WE AGREE!
Polluter Pays !! The Alliance Against Pollution is calling on the public to boycott the Irving group of companies. The boycott will stay in effect until the Federal Government is satisfied that Irving has paid the $42,200,000 bill they have received for the Irving Whale recovery operation. The barge sank in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in 1970, along with its 4,270 ton cargo of oil, and 7520 kg of PCBs. An estimated 900 tons of oil have leaked from the barge and over 75% of the PCBs were released into the environment. Approximately 200 tons of oil washed ashore on the lles-de-laMadeleine soiling about 80 km of shoreline. An unknown amount of oil found its way to the Atlantic Ocean through the Cabot Strait. About 200,000 bags of oil and PCB laden debris were recovered during the clean-up operation and buried in the dunes of the lles-de-la-Madeleine. Analysis conducted near the Irving Whale site found PCB

concentrations up to 2000 parts per million. The deposits of PCBs on the ocean floor present serious ongoing threats to the ecosystem. The Whale was raised in 1996, with the taxpayer footing the $42,200,000 bill. After the sinking, Irving received an insurance settlement, and possession of the barge was returned to them. Irving did not reveal the presence of PCBs until June 1995, just prior to the first lift attempt. The Alliance Against Pollution is a growing network of environmental and social justice organizations formed specifically to conduct this boycott. The Alliance supports the position of the Federal Government which states that Irving is fully responsible for the costs of the lift operation, cleanup, as well as further remediation if deemed necessary. Let's make sure that the polluter pays !
