Here is a couple of nice shots taken from the Causeway Saturday Aug 20/05
The crap on the water is oil probably pumped out of the bilge in the ship in the picture. Courtney Bay is subjected to these assaults by Irving oil exports every day of the week. Not a pretty sight! The crap was being sucked into that pipe by the way, not coming out of it
Money in! Fuel out! Crap left in the Bay.
Perhaps Irving should pay the Province's 1/3 share of harbour cleanup! Even with all the sewerage treated, Irving or his Customer's ships will still be doing this to the harbour!

If you are rich cottage owner in Saint Andrews area then you will be looked after. Also Lord wants no competition for Irving that close by on LNG. Pollution in other areas learn to live with it or get a multi-millionaire to build a house there but that won't happen.
You should know Lord's criteria for help by now.
Charles, that's sewage man. Just plain sh*t from the outfall pipes. Hmmmm - memories of diarhhea...
IT WOULD BE GOOD IF YOU PUT THE HIT COUNTER RIGHT AT THE TOP. THAT WAY VISITORS WILL KNOW RIGHT AWAY HOW POPULAR THIS SITE IS.

That wasn't sewerage! The tide was coming in and the crap was actually being sucked into the pipe. The tides are higher than the pipe so the water actually reverses in the pipe. Just like the Reversing Falls
It was coming from the direction of the oil terminal.
Yes there were a few tampon applicators with it but it was definitely oil. Applicators and condoms are common in Courtney Bay!
We had a criuseship in about a week or so ago and some visitors were looking over the dock next to market square (low tide)and they were saying to each other, hey look at all the crap down there,Is that toilet paper??one asked and the other was pointing out condoms and applicators and things like that and I said to them hey this is the good part you should be here on the foggy or cloudy days when you can smell bleach from the eastside papermill and the pollution clouds that hover downtown from the refinery and then there's the smell of the pulpmill from the west and if all these things let up for a day or two at night you've got a different set of problems: motorbikes that rev up all night up and down the streets dogcrap all over the place as there are no enforced laws here in Saint John, most locals in the south end have named it poopscotch!
Oh and then there's the smell of the marsh creek on those muggy days that make you wish you were anywhere but here.
And one of them spoke up and said that must be why they only take us to within a couple of streets of the ship is it?? he said of all the places they have visited this city seems to have the most restricted and guided tour partition and direct you in only certain directions
