Podcast appearances and mentions of hamilton harbour

Guest: Matthew Van Dongen, The Hamilton Spectator The City of Hamilton has found that nearly 400 million litres of sanitary sewage from 61 homes has leaked into Hamilton Harbour, an industrial area, over a 26 year period. It is a messy situation, but one that was only found after attention was called underground in 2019 when a Hamilton Spectator investigation revealed that 24-billion-litres of sewage had leaked into Chedoke Creek, a recreational area frequented by area residents, over four a year period. The city knew about that problem, but kept the find private and did nothing to stop it. Matthew Van Dongen, a transit and environment reporter at The Spectator, joins “This Matters” to share details about efforts to inspect, clean up and have more transparency at Hamilton's City Hall. This episode was produced by Brian Bradley, Crawford Blair and JP Fozo. Audio sources: CHCH News

Could Hamilton's latest sewage spill issue make Andrea Horwath a hero? Only one person wants to run the official opposition in Ontario; Want a real Christmas tree? It's going to cost you more.Wow! newly minted Hamilton Mayor Andrea Horwath has a shit show on her hands. Seems raw sewage has been pouring into Hamilton Harbour for the past 26 years!! How does that happen?And there's no rush of candidates ready to take Horwath's old job as leader of the Ontario NDP. Merit Stiles is the only person to declare her candidacy and time's running out. Are we at a point in our politics when we're going to acclaim the the leader of His Majesty's Official Opposition?Better hurry if you're planning to buy a real tree this Christmas and you'll wanna be prepared to pay a premium. There's a Christmas tree shortage. Nothing to do with COVID or the current supply chain issues. We're feeling the effects of the 2009 financial crisis. A lot of tree farms cut back on planting when cash got tight. Also, Stats Can says we've lost 20 thousand acres of Christmas tree farms - mostly because owners have died or retired and no one stepped up to keep the farm going. That represents 30 million trees!

A map of Lake Ontario, like one in an old geography textbook, might miss Cootes Paradise. Without detail it can seem this great lake runs dry at western shore of Burlington, about 50 kilometres from Toronto. Some more careful maps have it end in Hamilton Harbour. But no, Lake Ontario fades out in a little 320 hectare triangle of marshland called Cootes Paradise. It’s really a river delta, but a remarkable one. On either side over two dozen streams, the largest being Spencer Creek, flow over the Niagara escarpment and the shallow basin. Once, those waters made this a hunting and fishing Mecca. Then its location at the head of the lake and some industrious canal work n the 1820s turned Cootes Paradise into a short-lived shipping lane. A century later it almost became an airport. It’s also been home to shantytown of “canal rats”, a ragtag community. Those homes, sometimes on stilts, clung to the marsh’s shores in the 1920s and 30s. Residents playing hockey on its frozen surface in the winter and sometimes hosted hobos from the railway that ran across the sandbar that separated it from Hamilton Harbour. These days, though, the shantytown is long gone. So are much of the indigenous plants and waterfowl. They’ve been upstaged by voracious carp and relentless phragmites and manna grass. In a canoe, as the sun creeps to the horizon, you can see the trouble in paradise. In the murky marsh, carp jump and shimmer. A paddle shaft vanishes from sight two feet down. High water a couple of years ago submerged a barrier that was to keep the bullying bottom feeders out. Now what was once so dense a marsh it was surveyed as land, is now open water. In 1941, when the environmental trouble from industrial and urban runoff was becoming obvious, the Royal Botanical Gardens was given stewardship of Cootes. It’s been a hard row to hoe for the environmental champion. Bad luck, climate change, urban expansion, oxygen-sucking algae have set the RBG’s plans of recovery by years. But there is a hero in this story, the man who’s in charge of saving paradise. His name is Tys Thysmeyer, the head of natural lands for the Royal Botanical Gardens. I spoke with him about his work and his passion for saving a remarkable wetland.

An interview with Nancy Bouchier and Ken Cruikshank about the social and environmental history of Hamilton Harbour.

Deep at the bottom of Hamilton Harbour, there is a creeping menace. It is a “spill in slow motion”, a toxic cocktail of coal tar, metals, and man-made chemicals. Formally known as “Randle Reef”, this slowly spreading stew of pollution has been a blight on Hamilton Harbour for a generation. Clean-up should have started in […]
