So what was that smell? We may never know for sure but the comments of those who faced it are fun to read. On Twitter, some joker said it was the Argonauts. (Hey, offside). Then there was the smart alecky Tory who said it might be the Ontario Liberals having an early leadership gathering. (Pee-yu) On a more serious note, a reader of the Star says shame on the newspaper. Anyone should know that it’s the time of the year that farmers load the fields with manure all over Ontario. Some of the stench is going to hit populated areas. Well maybe. Then there was OntarioRuMP saying check the lake. Which one? There were complaints from places along the shore of Lake Erie noting the annual Autumn nature of this smell. Authorities blame lake water ‘inversion’ as the cause, but many are still suspicious that it is manure run off from the pig farms along the lake, says this contributor. Other shots, the sulphur explosion in Acton (who knew?) and the Royal Winter Fair (not likely).
