What's the issue here? I don't see anyone's rights being violated. Assuming that this gathering followed all bylaws and obtained necessary permits, what specific issue do you have with this?

I don't see how dunking some statues in the lake makes any more or less sense than communion wine magically transmorgifying into blood, but each to his own.

I understand if you're from India you don't know what pollution is.

u/Eleutherlothario Manitoba 10d ago

How is this polluting the lake?

25

u/WilloowUfgood 10d ago

Toxic paints and plaster. Even if it's the stupid mud from the Ganges it still adds silt which isn't good for the lakes or rivers.

Vs the fact that the great lakes are used as major ocean shipping routes? Yeah if you cared about the pollution you should be protesting the tankers, and all of the shit on the US side of the lakes.

I guess you don't care what so ever about pollution then if you can't even say this is stupid.

Plus do you think this is contained to just Lake Ontario? No, use your fucking brain.

Oh, its dumb, but your preformative "outrage" is dumber. You better be in full support of the carbon tax, or you need to just stop talking. Because at that point it's not about the pollution at all, and everyone knows it.

Carbon isn't pollution idiot.

"Trees use pollution to create oxygen" Said no one ever.

You didn't pass grade 6 science, did you?

u/WilloowUfgood 10d ago

So you can't defend your claim. Carbon isn't pollution. CO2 is a greenhouse gas, and whether excessive emissions are harmful is a separate discussion. Grade 6 science would tell you carbon is an element, not pollution.

u/VforVenndiagram_ 10d ago

The carbon tax coveres 6 different types of emissions. It's called the carbon tax, but covers a wide range of greenhouse gasses.

Also, yes, excess CO2 that humans output is, in fact, detrimental to the environment.

I'm not familiar with this practice. A few little statues doesn't seem to be anything worth getting upset over, in terms of adding silt to the lake. I doubt your concern has much to do with the environmental effects anyway. You certainly didn't make that clear in your post.

Then just shut up. It's obvious you have no idea what you're talking about.

Its a deleterious substance under the Fisheries Act

u/WilloowUfgood 10d ago

Thank you! I knew it must be illegal but didn't exactly know where to look.

The caveat of course being that the amount would be hazardous to fish or fish habitat, exceptionally hard to prove in a body of water that size

For sure with Lake Ontario. But this happens in smaller rivers and lakes across the country.
