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.

keep up the pressure and create a stink :-)
it's the only way people will listen. if all else fails, embarressment may move them to action.
Don't forget, all publicity is good publicity (in your favour in this case). This will catch on and something hopefully will get done.

Congratulations on your initiative, this is indeed the way to get things done, organize, publicize & cooperate.
In Dorval we have formed "Voice of Dorval," our website is in the works and we have a couple of reports already at http://environment.batcave.net
We are opposed to the regentrification of this historic area of Dorval and are grappling with local government's inertia to protect the neighborhood's personality - we greatly fear & suspect a gradual regentrification of this area into a commercial sector. There are also very important historical considerations concerning a particular piece of property here, the same property which citizens are currently disturbed over due to the developer's attempts to expand a hotel there.
I invite you all to visit our site & to promote one anothers' causes with the aim of protecting the quality of life we pay such high taxes for.
I found you in the Chronicle article by Marc Lalonde - you can find Irene Chwalkowski's article about our local efforts "Don't spoil heritage, residents urge" in this week's (March 1, 2006) page 3 article in The Suburban.
Good luck to you - we will be in touch, a mention of your cause will be added to our site, let us know if we can be of assistance.

I emailed Monique Worth and encourage others to do the same.
I do not expect a reply as I am quite sure this is not of great importance to them. If that were the case, the landfill site would have been closed years ago.
PLEASE voice your concerns and send them mail REGULARLY.
More people raising a "stink" about this will gain more attention. Though the politicians would rather hide their heads in the sand over this, sooner or lated it puts them in the spotlight. They have to address the issue seriously.

My main concern with the dump is that there maybe long term health risks associated with the air we are breathing and the contaminated soil surrounding us. All the quotes from officials and politicians that I have read only refer to the air quality situation as a nuisance and that no toxins are present when the air quality is measured. I appreciate your efforts and will definitely be using the complaint link you have set up. Thanks

2nite I watched CTV News and saw Grant Drisdelle on TV being interviewd by Todd Van Der Hayden. Was CTV NEWS aware that Mr. Drisdelle is an accused Drunk Driver with Prior offences. Mr. Drisdelle's last run in with the law was in 2002-2003 when he was arrested for drunk driving, hit and run and fleeing the scene of an accident. How could u put such a man on TV to talk about your cause.
thank you.
