Who is Eugene Bourgeois?
Just who is Eugene Bourgeois, and why won’t he give up? In fact, who is it wanting Eugene to give up, and for what reason?
Imagine yourself, buying into a nice piece of property, making this your living, and your future, and seeing what you dread most come to be, that of your livelihood coming tumbling down.
“His dispute with the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station began one sunny mid-morning in May of 1985. Eugene was picking rocks from a field of his farm, kitty corner to the road to the south gate of the nuclear plant when he was suddenly overcome by a colourless, odourless gas, one that afterwards left a distinct metallic taste in his mouth, along with "a severe headache, nausea and extreme unsteadiness".
Thus begins the 20 year plus battle of one individual against a monolith of power
What has this got to do with the topic of water? In a way it is intertwined with all of us here along the Bruce, with outrageous scare tactics about tremendous amounts of ecoli and the beach becoming a forbidden zone(send me as much as you can, my system takes care of it..thank you)and this being the reason behind an expensive pipeline, but ignoring a real potential of disaster just up along the coast, the nuclear plant.
Eugene developed medical conditions so severe they were studied at McMaster University Medical Centre:
“Bourgeois underwent a series of medical tests through the Occupational Health Clinic at McMaster University. They confirmed that he had no prior medical condition that could have developed into the symptoms he exhibited (such as petit-mal). Further, the OHC at McMaster determined that his central nervous system defects had to have come from an external source rather than being self inflicted or pre-existent.â€
And his live stock loss of life was studied by U. of Guelph:
“The tests indicated that: a) there was indeed a significant lamb loss (in the 99th percentile) and b) there was no observable source or reason for this loss on the farm or in the farming practices. The source had to be external.â€

Euene Bourgeois
On reflection the current lively debates about water,septic systems etc., could be considered trivial when compared to the reported challenges of Eugene. However I doubt, whether I or anybody else can do anything to make the Bruce Nuclear power plant a" fail safe" operation or if at this juncture anybody could help Mr. Bourgeois. This obviously is a very sad story.
In the meantime I choose not to think about the unthinkable potential disaster at the Nuclear plant. In any event, I will continue to look after my small personal space by taking care of my septic system and the environement around me. I hope this is not to much information.
