These disrespectful idiots at the city and the L.E.E.P. have managed to give us almost a full month without too much stink. Yesterday evening had a bit of landfill aroma, but it was not bad. I was just outside our home and WHAM! Full nostrils of beautiful, lovely STINK.

Well I would imagine it is to be expected since for the past few days spring is in full force in Montreal. It is generally a very enjoyable time of year, and yet this year once again somehow tarnished by our lovely smell.

I encourage all of you to use our handy dandy one click link to complain.

It works from windows for now, the line breaks are not quite right with other operating systems such as Linux. We are working on it. Please enter line breaks as necessary for those of you affected. Apologies from the technical team. However, having breathable air seems more important at this time.

The Chronicle (local Montreal West Island newspaper) has printed this article about this blog in the March 1st, 2006 issue. Thanks to The Chronicle for running the article and to all the readers who have posted comments.

Also I will be going through the comments and I will post as full postings to the blog all of your STINK stories which are currently in the comments area.

The next time it stinks (I predict it will once this cold snap lets up, but then what do I know, poor tax paying citizen that I am), I encourage all of you to use the convenient link below to send a pre-filled complaint e-mail:

Send complaint e-mail message to incompetent officials

This easy single click link will open a mail composer for you and pre-fill the recipients, the subject and body with the complaint. The pre-filled recipients are: Monique Worth, Bertrand Ward, Gerald Tremblay, the general Pierrefonds-Roxboro e-mail address, Marc Michot (President of L.E.E.P), and Yves Robichaud (Operations Director at the landfill site). Maybe if enough people clog up their e-mail boxes they might, maybe, possibly move. I have also added this e-mail link to the Links section on the right side of this blog. Feel free to change the message since you will be sending it. However, it would be nice that you leave the compliments of this blog closing intact.

There are solutions to the H2S stink and poison problem, but someone has to get off their duff and actually implement the solutions. If I ran my business at the lightning speed at which the stink problem is being addressed I would no longer have a business.

In the article Mr. Ward mentions that they are working hard at solving the problem, but friends, it's a committee, it's political. I anticipate a lot of lovely "eau de landfill" stink come spring and I have no intention of tolerating this stink any longer. The problem has existed for five years.

These politicians and the L.E.E.P. don't give a damn about poisoning us.
