Something brewing at the dump

July 11 was a gorgeous evening in Iqaluit, except for something brewing at the dump.

In this day of advanced technology and weather forecasting, someone decided to light up the dump. If a simple call had been made to the local weather forecast line would they still have lit up that pile of garbage?

It is terrible for individuals to infringe on one’s right to clean air. The City of Iqaluit has a licence to drench its citizens in potentially dangerous smoke from its dump.

What will it take for the city to stop such practices? If I had a respiratory problem, I’d be snipping at the ankles of the city.

This city-dweller says it friggin’ stinks and it could possibly cut my lifespan short.

Maybe a good ol’ lawsuit is in order?
