The fight over a proposed landfill expansion near Dresden is drawing new attention — this time from Amnesty International Canada. In a release Wednesday, the human rights organization took aim at Ontario’s Bill 5, warning that it threatens Indigenous rights and weakens environmental protections. The legislation, introduced in April, proposes to exempt the site just north of Dresden from Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act to allow for a faster approval process.

A 19-year-old from Windsor had their vehicle impounded for two weeks and license suspended for 30 days after Essex County OPP say they were caught driving 54 km/hr over the speed limit in Tecumseh Tuesday. To make matters worse, officers say the incident occurred during road safety week – and while conditions were slick from rain. They say the driver was travelling on Highway 3 – going 134 km/hr in a posted 80 km/hr zone.

Wendy Vercauteren and Martha Fehr are among the most visible opponents of a proposed landfill expansion in their small southwestern Ontario community.
