We have the most freshwater of any country on the planet.
We _must_ protect it!!
You’re 4th actually but it would be nice to protect it.
There must be something in the water
Yup 💩💩💩🤣
Better double the carbon tax.
Hamilton has had problems with contractors in the past. No over site by the city
Hamilton has had a problem with organized crime in the past
I mean I live close to Lake Ontario and just looking at the lake this does not surprise me in the slightest.
😂 Why do you think Southern Ontoilet smells so bad?
That’s where all the sewage treatment plants are. By Lake Ontario and it all flows to there from as far north as you can imagine. The toilet bowl that is Ontario all gets flushed down to the lake. There is an alluring fragrance in the air in Toronto from as far up as Bloor or more coming up from the sewer system below lol 🤣😂🤣😂
We all knew in Hamilton yet no one cared. They cannot say that they had no idea about it, they can’t say that couldn’t see it, they can’t say that they could not fit it years ago…
I went Wingsurfing in Hamilton harbour a couple of months ago and was shocked at how bad the water quality was. I had worked with the Hamilton Harbour remedial action program in the early 90’s and was under the impression the water quality would improve. It was just as bad as in the 90’s. Definitely more leaks to be found.
Undetected? No. We’ve known for years.
Could explain Ontarios sickness
Undetected? Lol anyone there knew and talked about it openly
So what you’re saying is that this was not inspected after done right? Incredible.
Should have spent more time with the engineer, not the politicians.
Doha, Qatar is ranked 31 in Air quality and pollution city ranking worldwide, meanwhile, Toronto, Canada is ranked 25 !!
“ impact likely to be insignificant” pfffft tell that the animals that live in the harbour
Not only the water quality but also the air quality in Hamilton is awful, the air sometimes smells like burning rubber
“A trickle into a very large body of water”…for 25 years…not like damage is CUMULATIVE or anything.
Thanks Omar, so brave, so inspiring.
Hammy is an anomaly in itself, home to crack dens but with prices of housing in L.A
Looks like everyone knew about it for decades
