Those who remember the tainted-water crisis that killed seven people and sickened thousands say the Ford government’s proposed law, designed to cut “red tape,” would weaken long-standing rules put in place to protect public health.
“Do not drink this water,” warned the signs taped to fountains and bathroom sinks in a small Ontario town.
For thousands of people in the rural community 150 kilometres northwest of Toronto, the water they once used to brush their teeth, bathe their children and prepare their meals had become a hostile enemy.
Jugs of clean water had to be delivered to a depot. Hospitals were overrun with new patients. Children were pulled out of school. Businesses closed.
The tainted-water scandal in Walkerton in the spring of 2000 devastated the community, with thousands falling ill and seven people dying. It was one of the worst health epidemics in the province’s history.
Nearly 19 years later, environmental advocates say Premier Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservative government is posing one of the greatest risks both the environment and public health have faced in decades.
Last week, the government tabled a new piece of legislation, Bill 66, that, if passed, would allow commercial development to bypass several long-standing laws meant to protect the natural environment and the health of residents, including the Clean Water Act that was put in place following the Walkerton tragedy.

If so, please take Doug Ford aside, sit him down, and suggest he hush up while you explain some of the facts of political life, Ontario style.
Be patient, Honest Broker. Ford is new and a bit brash. He won't like it when you recall what happened two decades ago when the province was won by a leader wedded to a platform of rooting out so much waste at Queen's Park that he could simultaneously slash taxes and eliminate the deficit without, as that leader promised, touching any basic services.
That leader, of course, was Mike Harris, premier from 1995-2002, in whose caucus Ford's father sat for one term.
Before going into some of the nasty nitty-gritty (28 hospitals closed, 6,000 nurses fired, $1 billion chopped from education), please remind Ford about Walkerton.
Walkerton remains the most enduring and tragic monument to the folly of the Harris years.
