Super nice guy at reception of Enviro-Can but no real contact with an aware civil servant yet. They should realize it freaks out more people that have seen/documented it happening by not monitoring it or explaining it. This after a certain point adds to hysteria and then that makes them/enviro canada complicit to causing folks to worry.

If it is just sodium chloride & or calcium chloride basically sea salt & calcium those in charge of our enviroment should be able to allay some of the more ominous public impressions of this spraying stuff.
They told me to check weather channel, is it Taboo or are the guys and gals there too busy to look outside?
Quality of audio is as bad as their answers unfortunatly. They work for you and if this is occuring they owe it to warn us so kids are not breathing it when it falls with rain.

The school which has been in existence for 24 years is in a derelict condition, and as Martina Akinyi found out, the administration has to chase away drunkards on a daily basis in their battle to keep learning going.
