Classic Jack, in action back in 2000

News footage of Toronto City Hall voting to send Toronto's garbage to Adams Mine in Northern Ontario. The vote came at the height of a massive road and rail blockade and bedlam at Toronto City Hall. The deal then collapsed in the face of a Native land claim, the threat of major civil disobedience and the fact that this crack pot garbage plan (to wash garbage with 360 million litres of ground water a year for 1000 years) carried too much liability for anyone to gamble on. Check out the great footage of Jack Layton as city councillor.
