On Your Side follow up
Finally got a chance to post since the report. I apologize for not posting more often, but after a full day of work and life I find it difficult to post in a relatively polite manner given the pathetic stink situation. It's sad when the victims must conduct themselves in a more civil manner than the elected politicians who do not give a damn about their constituants.
I thank Todd van der Heyden and the whole team at "On Your Side" for a great report. I particularly liked the helicopter "going over their heads". I would also like to thank Monique Worth and Gilles Mousseau for looking like the real idiots I believe they are in this matter, and for both admitting publicly that the landfill causes odours which decrease the quality of life in the neighborhood. The full transcript of the report can be found here on the CTV web site. I also kept a digital copy of the report which is now also backed up for my amusement, I will be sure to show it to all our friends and family when they visit. Thank you also for displaying the address of our little stink blog so prominently. Very strange that Todd had to get airborne to see the landfill, what might Mousseau have to hide... I wonder.
My only comments regarding the report is that it leaves the impression that these idiots actually will resolve the situation in the relatively near future and it did not address compensation for the last 2 years if hell we have been living in the area of the landfill. Maybe an opportunity for a follow up report in the future.
I will be writing to the mentioned idiots as a follow up shortly. I was also planning to show up at the "special" session of the burrough council at 16:00 on Monday November 20th. I was in contact with Suzanne Corbeil today and it seems that meeting will basically aprove a "special" tax to cover the fiscal shortcoming dating back to 2005. I'm puzzled since Monique Worth issued a public notice (here) where the burrough had a surplus for fiscal 2005 thanks mainly to the infamous L.E.E.P. It's weird, it bascically seems like we're screwed. I just might still show up and ask a few "choice" questions. I am definitely planning to attend the council meeting of Decemeber 4th and I invite all to come with me to ask the council idiots about compensation for the pathetic past 2 years relating to the stink infiltrating our homes.
In one e-mail exchange I had with Monique Worth, she mentioned that she felt "beyond reproach" because they consulted with "experts". I would like to meet these moronic experts who seem to not know that the landfill would create foul odors for the neighbors and that gas wells would help. Gee, some experts. Beyond that, some wonderful politicians who claim to be "beyond reproach" based on the opinions of such high class "experts". These politicians must go at the next elections.
Well that is my rant for tonight. I hope I managed to remain relatively polite. I will try to post more often, especially that we must protest this pathetic situation, possibly with a tax revolt in the area. By the way, I have still received no response to my last e-mail message sent to Monique Worth, Gilles Mousseau and Gerald Tremblay. How strange...

I read in today's Chronicle that someone had finally given visibility to this horrendous eyesore and nosesore we call our "famous landfill". I can think of more positive thinks to be famous for in Pierrefonds than smelly air. Wouldn't it be nice to say we have wonderful parks, waterways - but no we have a smelly landfill!
I have been complaining to Monique Worth and her cohorts for >3yrs and each time am greeted with a resounding - "We're doing something and it will be fixed" response. I also went to a council mtg. to speak on this issue and was made to feel inferior and that I was wasting their time....except for Bert Ward who I feel would like to do something but hasn't the power to do so.
This landfill has been taken to court a couple of times for breaking the environmental statutes, had fires at the landfill, poisoned our quality of life with rancid odors and succeeded in alienating all those living "downwind" of the quarry. I say "downwind" because all are affected at one time or other, depending on in which direction the wind is blowing.
I am embarassed to have to apologize to my family and guests who come during those times and leave with a sour feeling of life in Pierrefonds. Believe me the word spreads.
PS I hope I did this correctly because it's my 1st blog.

Hi, I am a resident of Pierrefonds, and share your poor opinion of Monique Worth and her cohorts. In fact, I was doing some research on her today, which brought me to your blog. The landfill issue is not one that I was aware of. I don't know whether you still maintain this blog, and therefore whether you will see my comment, but my question to you is: Did this issue ever get resolved satisfactorily?
p.s. Sorry, I can't recall my password, so I must post as anonymous as well.
