The Assassin's Trail, a Heroic Fantasy Novel by Charles Moffat

The central plot of the story is that the main character Wrathgar grows up with a bully called Muddenklaw, which everyone believes dies during the "Test of Manhood" at the beginning of the book. However Muddenklaw later turns up alive and murders a child and leads a group of monsters to attack his village. Wrathgar is then tasked with hunting down Muddenklaw and bringing back his head. Meanwhile Muddenklaw decides to join the Assassin's Guild...

Do you drink bottled water or eat beef, pork, chicken or dairy products?

Doug Ford.

The name brings fear to the minds of many people in Ontario.

Doug Ford is the Premier of Ontario, and he is a jerk. A real nasty jerk. He wants to dump nuclear waste in Bruce County, close to the town of Teeswater. The Teeswater River (and the underground aquifer beneath the region) supplies the drinking water to:

• Tens of thousands of people.
• Dairy cows.
• Water for agricultural farming (corn, potatoes, soy beans and more).
• Water for Aquafina bottled water.
• Cattle, pigs, turkeys and chickens. Bruce County is the Beef Capital of North America, but it also produces a lot of other meat products.

If you live Ontario you've eaten food many times from Bruce County. Guaranteed. You've drank the milk. You've eaten the cheese. You've eaten beef, pork, turkey and chicken. You've eaten the corn, the potatoes, the soy products. You've drank Aquafina water.

Even if you are a vegan and don't eat milk and dairy, you should still care where your soy products and other vegetables are grown and where your bottled water comes from.

And that is why you should care.

If you care about what you eat, then you should protect what you eat. Learn more at:
