We are here to tell you most of the real facts behind the canal travesty. Everyone appears so confused and misinformed as to why the canal remains in a deplorable state, an eyesore and an incomprehensible mess. People talk and talk about it amongst themselves and remain completely confused. This is mainly because they are frustrated because no where has it been published as to why it is devoid of water and instead filled with the little floating bodies of dead animals, flotsam and jetsam.: flotsam and jetsam consisting of bottles, discarded beer cans, construction debris, plastic bags and cigarette butts and a host of garbage that never gets cleaned up.
