Oh the irony the irony….we finally close the Lakeview dinosaur and the much better replacement is branded a polluter. The problems with this bylaw are too numerous to list. Anyone who knows anything about air emissions understands that it is faulty in so many ways; unfortunately the Town councillors are not well enough informed on the subject to understand the problems with it. As far as they are concerned, it's a bylaw to improve air quality (which it will not accomplish), and how could they possibly vote against a bylaw that is to improve air quality when all the residents are all stirred up about it. To top it off, they think they are pioneers who will stir the pot at the province and force them to do something about it – like the pesticide issue. I am all for improving air quality, but this bylaw will not do it.

In 2007, pursuant to a Canada-wide Agreement managed through the CCME, each province was to have submitted a 5-year report of its progress toward meeting a national standard for PM10 and Ozone. Ontario did not submit a report.
