Take a lesson from Sudbury, build a taller smoke stack so it pollutes outside of town.

For those wondering abt the source since Ontario no longer has coal power plants - it's likely steel production. Blast furnaces in classic steel mills use coke which is largrly coal for a heat source. There are now electric arc furnaces as an alternative.

The same type of coal theyre trying to open the open pit mining operations in crowsnest pass for

Really hoping those fall through. We have no time to be pfaffing around heel dragging on pivoting from harmful fossil fuels, alternatives have to be funded like... yesterday. 20 years ago even but no better day than today.

Don't worry, Premier Dougie Ford and Primer Minster Mark "the Banker" Carney will surely pass more stringent environmental standards that will hurt some corporations bottom line. /s
