'When Juanita McKenzie came home in 1998 to find two men in white environmental suits posting a sign that read "Human Health Hazard" behind her neighbor's house, she knew that something was terribly wrong. For the people of Frederick Street in Sydney, Nova Scotia, the past was about to come crashing into the present. They were living next door to one of the worst toxic waste sites in North America. Frederick Street: Life and Death on Canada's Love Canalis the story of ordinary people like the McKenzies who are fighting not only the daily devastation of disease and early death from toxic exposure, but are also battling officially sanctioned destruction of the environment and their own fears about the death of their future -- and their children's future. It is also a meticulously researched story of how what was once a pristine body of water became a cesspool containing 700,000 tons of toxic sludge, a site 35 times worse than the infamous Love Canal. And it is a passionate indictment of public and private interests that ignored the increasingly dangerous signs of contamination. Written by Maude Barlow, one of Canada's most respected activists and bestselling authors, and Elizabeth May, a dedicated environmentalist and writer, Frederick Street is a story that will not go away, as it continues to play out ...

Inscription signed by Barlow. xii, 288 p. Illustrations. Map. Chronology. Endnotes. Index. This is a Phyllis Bruce Book. What does it feel like to come home and find men in protective white hazard suits posting warning signs in your backyard? Or to wonder who on your street will be next to come down with another disease? Worst of all, how does it feel to have the government repeatedly tell you that the toxic waste site next to your backyard--the source of the orange sludge seeping into your basement--doesn't pose any health risk at all? The people of Sydney, Nova Scotia, know exactly how it feels to live next door to the once-belching coke ovens of the Sydney Steel Corp and the contaminated estuary known as the tar-ponds, and now the worst toxic waste site in North America. Their story is chronicled in Frederick Street: Living and Dying on Canada's Love Canal, a moving, thoroughly researched expose of an environmental and human disaster over 30 times worse than Love Canal. This is the story of a community, ordinary people with kids and mortgages, who, in most cases, can't afford to move away from their unsaleable homes. Their fight for their health, their homes and their lives as they demand evacuation and compensation for a ruined present and a threatened future makes compelling reading. ...
