In the last two years, we have seen protests on campus but have never been forced to enact such preventive measures.

What if tons of industrial society's toxic sludge could no longer be buried underground yards from a sensitive wetland? Stablex is Bill Gates' toxic waste dump just north of Montreal. Saturday, a crowd broke in and shut it down, doing $100,000+ in damage.
