Where else could they put it? Sh*t flows down hill, so it's going to end up there eventually and cause more pollution! :)



Nah, I guess you are quite a way upstream! :)
you've got 7 billion poopers on this planet that make deposits at least once a day that's a lot of poopie to deal with. This planet will eventually become a giant space nugget.:).

There's scarier stuff 20 miles west of here ... that gets into the Great Lakes (then the St Lawrence)

Fortunately, that's not here either. We just have the "risk" of E-coli well contamination so the drinking water's condemned. Those numbers look so big when read in parts per billion. I just see it as a vaccination....

Bull. The alternative would be to fix their treatment system. There is no excuse except poor management to require dumping raw sewage into the river.

Money for fixing sewer systems might be quite scarce what with the demand for it to move refugees into the country! I wonder how much of this borrowed money is going to fund infrastructure! 5% maybe!

They have an antiquated sewage system. I think they have the same problem in NB.

They have to get rid of it first in order to fix their sewage system.

Victoria dumps theirs into the ocean raw and theirs is ten times more toxic because of the parliament buildings. We won't talk about Ottawa and half of the Canadian population living down stream from there.

10 years of Harper certainly didn't help, especially when he gutted important legislation like the navigable waters act.

They polluted the crap out of the great lakes, maybe we should start doing that. And while we're at it lets take up the odd whale hunt. Maybe club a few white baby seals for posterity.





It actually is. Very much so.

The water flows DOWNHILL from Montreal into the ocean, not uphill to the Great Lakes.

Every time there is a heavy rain, Toronto dumps raw sewage into Lake Ontario because of an antiquated storm sewer system that spills over into the sewage when it goes over capacity. It happens several times a year.

Montreal has to fix a problem with their own drainage system. It is a much older city than where most of you live in with a correspondingly older infrastructure and, perhaps, they have no other option but to dump some sewage while doing the upgrade. I'm quite sure that they are not doing it for fun. That three level of government, including a Conservative and now a Liberal federal government have agreed to the dump suggests to me that there may not be other reasonable ways to do this.

I was in YVR many time this year and over the summer, there was an advisory that False Creek had a dangerously high concentration of fecal form bacteria.

That said, you didn't fify anything

I can't believe the Liberals are doing this.


What about the environment?

Believe it... The Libs didn't even need one week in power before they started breaking their pledges.

It's still probably cleaner than the St Lawrence of the 40's 50's and 60's ... and people DRANK that

40's - 60's people used to dump their motor oil down the storm drains and also use it to keep dust down on dirt roads.... I guess with your logic, it's A-OK to start up that practice again.

Hell, shouldn't be too long before you demanding that witches be burned at the stake

Not one week!

Georgie Stefanopolous (Clinton's Bag Man) slipped up once when talking about Pres. Bill Clinton...

"President Clinton kept every promise he intended to keep."

The Canadian Liberals are studying at the feet of their Master's in the US... the Democrat Party.

Isn't that what they are doing?


This diversion is because they are rebuilding / relocating a 5m diameter sewer line.

That's why I said 'think'.

I heard it on the radio the other day, but I don't have the facts before me.

Could you clarify?



There aren't any significant municipalities in NB that dump raw sewage into the ocean.
