1. The farmer was blamed for the incident in Walkerton, ON. So no different here.

   1. I remembered the Walkerton incident differently. Big difference.
      Here it is:

      1. Initially the farmer was blamed but he had an Environmental Farm Plan.
         In the process of doing the plan he recognized the hazards, went to Walkerton council / management and notified them of the hazards.
         That story was a selling feature for farmers doing an EFP

2. Where else was it supposed to go when full?
   Can’t put it into containers and truck it away.
   Psst…your not supposed to know.

   Toronto has a massive pipeline into lake Ontario.
   You don’t want to be seen polluting the shore line.

3. Pikers. Montreal released a trillion litres. If you’re not in the trillions then you just aren’t trying.

   1. like that was difficult from a province that’s completely full of shit.

   2. Yes, but they get Double Get Out of Jail Credit: French and progressive.

4. Poll alert:

   The CTV poll in the link above needs some SDA-style help.

   1. What’s it titled under? I couldn’t find it.

5. Remember – carbon is supposed to be a pollutant according to policy-makers who do not have science degrees.

   1. Do you have your bacteria test count kit with you before you go swimming?
      I imagine those Covid testing kits would probably work really well here to.

6. where do they think they are Ottawa, that happens regularly there

7. trying to keep up to montreal and victoria is hard.

   1. Victoria is off the list. They have a new sewage treatment plant

8. Well, sewage creates algae blooms, and they are blue green so that’s environmentally friendly because its partially green, isn’t it? (sarcasm off). The green agenda is never as green as it portrays itself and creates more problems than it ever solves.

9. The “experts” can’t be swayed, cut the carbon, eat the shit.

10. No sh1t??

11. Once they had discussed building a retention pond to hold the waste until it could be processed, but no neighborhood wanted it, and the city thought it was a waste of tax dollars. Same city puts dog poo containers on curbs for vehicle pickup.

    if you followed the Hudson bay story, you know that Manitoba is so screwed and destined for a South African makeover. Once Wab ascends the throne, it’s game over.

    1. “Once Wab ascends the throne, it’s game over.”

       Wobbly Canoe…….

12. I had to travel to Toronto over the weekend. Speaking of sh*tholes. If anyone’s wondering what happens when you allow too much immigration, in too short a time and the vast majority end up in the same place.

    1. Try downtown in the summer heat and no wind when you get the “aroma” wafting over everything….

       1. Speaking of aromas, we walked down Queen W. from Bathurst to Yonge. I counted about 20 cannabis and vape shops to one small LCBO. Interestingly, other than franchise fast food restaurants like McD’s, A&W, KFC, Wendy’s, Tim Hortons there was zero places you could get a normal breakfast including Eaton Centre food court. If you wanted an omelet, pancakes or bacon and eggs fuggetaboutit.

13. And when Suzuki flushes down his three coiler on Victoria island and it goes directly into the Juan de Fuca strait, what do we call it then?
    Right. You don’t call it anything, in fact you try to spin it as actually being good for the fauna.

    I’ll put this one in my Shit Happens folder.

    1. Does anyone else wonder what Burton and David are getting up to that Burton knows the geometry of Davids stools?

14. If a few ducks die…will there be massive fines and world wide coverage?….not holding breath…

15. It’s okay when the government does it

16. Combined sewer overflows from the City of Winnipeg only contribute about 0.2% of the phosphorus in Lake Winnipeg. Blue green algae – which is actually a bacteria – is only active during the hottest summer months.

    Sewage plant outflows account for about 9% of the phosphorus in Lake Winnipeg. The treatment process they use actually ends up adding phosphorus.

    1. Allan it is a pack of lies you’ve been sold. Coliform levels are measured regularly in all of Manitoba’s lakes, and like clock work after a big rain, you know to stay away from lake Winnipeg. There are many lakes in the farm land area, and they never see a spike after a rain of phosphorus or coliform. Lake Winnipeg can spike to 3500 ppm a week or so after a good rain, whereas lakes like Rock lake, Oak lake, or Pelican will keep their levels at 10 ppm or lower.

17. Shit. I fish the Red @Lockport a few times each summer. Been doing it for years and I ain’t dead yet….as they say.

18. Apparently it was either that, or have many basement flooded with sewage. The river is already an open sewer. They are angling for Federal money now to fix the problem. Let’s do a cost-benefit analysis: this happened once in 25 years. It cost zero dollars. Versus spending billions of taxpayer dollars. I know, stupid me.
