  • ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANUPS: WHO PAYS? Introduction
    ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANUPS: WHO PAYS? Introduction In recent years, Canadians have been troubled to learn that what is probably the world's largest toxic waste dump is sitting in the city of Sydney, on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, one of the most scenic parts of the country. This huge site of industrial waste, known to local residents as the Sydney Tar Ponds, but also referred to as "poison city" or "the monster," is the result of a century of iron and steel manufacturing in the region. The area contains huge amounts of toxic sludge, much of it heavily contaminated with cancer-causing chemical agents and other substances that are hazardous to the health of plants, animals, and human beings. To make matters worse, the ponds are really a tidal estuary that sends toxic products into the Atlantic Ocean with every daily cycle of the tides, poisoning all nearby marine life and making fishing impossible. To provide some perspective on the enormousness of this environmental disaster, the Sierra Club of Canada has estimated that the amount of poisonous material contained in the Tar Ponds is probably over 35 times the total amount of toxic sludge that was found in the infamous Love Canal in Niagara Falls, New York. The Love Canal is the most widely known ecological horror story of the 1970s. For over a century, the industrial wastes produced by the refining of iron ore into iron and steel from the Sydney Steel plant have been running into the Muggah Creek watershed located in the city's downtown area. It is now thought that the site holds about 700 000 tonnes of toxic matter and is contaminated by at least two severely carcinogenic substances: polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

Après l’échec des efforts de promotion industrielle, la SDCB a adopté une approche participative du développement régional entre 1972 et 1982. En ce qui concerne particulièrement les producteurs ovins, cet article fait valoir que la SDCB s’est employée à transmettre l’esprit d’entreprise, à accroître la production et à vendre une conception particulière du Cap-Breton. Les procédés capitalistes mêmes qu’ils cherchaient à modifier ont cependant compromis les objectifs de la SDCB. L’histoire de l’industrie ovine au Cap-Breton permet d’aborder l’histoire plus générale du développement régional au cours de ces années. Cape Breton Development Corporation (DEVCO ) – a federal Crown corporation created in 1967 – was charged with stimulating employment to compensate for the decline of island coal mining. Following the failure of industrial promotion, DEVCO adopted a participatory regional development practice between 1972 and 1982. With specific reference to sheep producers, this article argues that DEVCO focused on imparting entrepreneurship, boosting production, and selling a particular kind of Cape Breton. However, DEVCO objectives were undermined by the very capitalist processes they sought to amend. The Cape Breton sheep story provides a way into the broader history of regional development in these years.
