All Canadians regret your inability to distinguish the difference between
the classic Cloche Rocks of the area from mine tailings and the resulant
impact their use had on the artificial aquatic environment Bill had created.
Canada takes no responsibility for your or his actions.

The marketing of "Canadian Ballast Rocks" TM  began legally this decade
after extensive research, investment and testing had been done by John
Winters and his associates.  They hold any and all licences to these
valuable safety items.  Use of the product for other purposes is not
approved of by the many and Byzantine departments of the Federal, Provincial
and local governments.  It would seem that any use of the product prior to
their approval constitutes an illegal use of the product and such use does
and shall carry heavy penalties.  Furthermore the exporting of the product
without permits and the approval of all governmental agencies shall
require a complete review where all evidence shall be presented and weighed
before a tribunal.  Penalties shall be extracted by Mr. Winters at his
leisure once the tribunal (Olympic in nature) has judged you guilty
