It is not a "small" amount at all - it is from a metropolitan area of 300,000 + people.
Amazing how the municipal authorities can talk out of both sides of their mouth when it comes to this (?). It is appalling, unjustified, and unnecessary in any context of modern government. I would love to see how E. May really thinks about this atrocious example of environmental irresponsibility. Or does that only apply to "conservative" ridings?
Right.

Well I suppose they'd probably be able to afford it if they weren't supplimenting every old fart in Canada that retires there.

The cost is prohibitive.
That is why nobody does it.

Its not as simple as just building a waste treatement plant.
