longueil to start dumping raw sewage into the St. Lawremce
 

This story hasn't made much of a splash the news, but it deeply offends me, as a Canadian. On the one hand the experts are puzzled about the deaths of Whales in the St. Lawrence river and coming up with regulations for shipping and blaming Climate Change , all the while ignoring this obvious potential source of their problems. DUH. :confused: Where are the "Environmentalists"??????

Grizz

Victoria dumps all f their untreated sewage into the ocean, but since it isn't Alberta oil, nobody is paying anyone to protest this.

Hypocrisy to the highest levels.

yep :mad3:

Protesters are weird not a peep from dumping swage in rives and oceans, not a peep from protesters on the jet fuel pipe line that is being build from Edmonton to Calgary..... Oh I forgot Neil young's Plane and Jane Fonda's plane needs to be refueled.

I'd like to run an ad on CNN, BBC, Fox, etc.

Let them protest about something else for a bit.

No protesters??? just follow the money.

Typical Hypocrite's. Both in PQ and BC.

Not all in BC are but the normal people stay quiet & that dosent help :(

We need to institute a 'price on feces' in order to give Quebec 'social licence' for this environmental threat.

The volumetric dimensions of 160,000,000 litres is about 175 ft * 175 ft * 175 ft. That's about 64 Olympic size swimming pools.

Assuming the poop has approximately the same density as water, 160,000,000 litres of poop would weigh 352739619 lbs.

The population of Longueuil is about 250,000 people.

Doing the math, they are storing 1411 lbs of poop for every person in town.

From Wikipedia: Starting with an average daily amount of about 14 ounces (400 grams), the total poop production in a week's time would be about 6 lbs. (2.8 kilograms). In a year, a single person would yield about 320 lbs.

So this city is presently storing 1411/320 = 4.4 years worth of poop for every person in town.

Sounds like they're a little constipated.

(Actually it's waste water but that doesn't sound as good.):)
