Brockovich told about 110 people at the lunch that the community must use its voice because litigation, which can take five to 15 years, simply takes too long. Furthermore, once people are sick, litigation and compensa- tion wont fix those problems. She said the Oakville community should become an example to the rest of the world because of its fight against the power plant. She pointed to the large rally at Queens Park to protest the power plant earlier this year, which drew about 2,500 protesters. The rally was also the largest in Premier Dalton McGuintys tenure as premier, according to C4CA. In her presentation, Brockovich showed a map of the Unites States with countless dots. She said behind each dot were more dots, of which there were too many to display. Each dot indicated an area where there is an excess of cancer. This is telling me there is a problem and somebody isnt listening, she said. She said battles, such as the one she led in 1993, are getting tougher, but no matter how hard it seems, people must not give up. She said there will always be opposition, but when a person hits rock bottom they must get back up. What I want you to know, and something I often forget, when you think you may be drowning youre not. There is something that will get you through every single time. That is hope and belief in yourself, she said. She said people must keep fighting these issues and referenced the movie in her speech. The movie is not about who won and who lost, but about who was willing to stand up and fight. When there is a problem, such as a poison- ous substance in the water, or in Oakvilles case in the air, those trying to cover up the issue will try to skew it with the use of num- bers. The Kansas born and raised Brockovich said, When I saw a tornado I didnt give a damn if it was an F4 or an F5. I was running. Weve forgotten to do that. She said science is often behind the issue. People will only learn some 20 years later, after too many have gotten sick, that something, such as a power plant, should not have been put where it was. You need to rise up and say I dont want to be this dot in 20 years, she said referencing her map. On Friday night, Brockovich also appeared at a screening of Erin Brockovich at Encore Cinemas and a private dinner at Jonathans Restaurant.
