The estimate is that 60,000 tonnes of material will need to be sifted through, an effort that will take up to three years and between $84M and $186M dollars, with absolutely no guarantee of success.
It’s a performative act and waste of resources. I’d much rather see the $90M go towards funding for addictions and mental health supports, and for homeless shelters. Care for the living, the dead no longer care.
I don’t actually believe in the value of money, the last ten years haven’t helped. I do understand pointlessness though. Finding a few bones won’t change anything.
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.
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.
Every almost every season there are a few fishermen who get lost at sea. The CG and DFO will search for a few days then call off the search. It’s tragic, but it’s the way it is.
People go missing all the time it sucks. And I know the family wants closure or whatever but at least they know what happened to their missing. Lots of people are left never knowing.

This is caring for the living because the women’s families and friends matter too.
And the fact is the previous provincial Conservative gov’t decided not to do this earlier when the costs wouldn’t have been so steep.
Blame the assholes who created the problem.

Search was suspended after 36 hours. Only one body was found.
