true, we have our pollution problems. Certainly, growing up in east end Montreal (Pointe-aux-Trembles) we were living just south of "refinery ville".
When the wind shifted.... oof...
Anyways, that being said, we still have one of the longest life spans.
and we don't cheat in gymnastics.

I clicked on the linkage and read the article. I wondered, exactly how did they die from air pollution? The article stated it was because of heart-attacks. But how did they know it was the air pollution behind the heart-attack? Was the person a heavy smoker or drinker? What was his diet? So, how can you say, for sure, it was the dirty air that killed him? The article doesn't go into any more detail. At the end, and this is funny, it said that over 80 percent of the air-pollution victims were over the age of 65. I'd bet the majority of Canadians who die are over the age of 65.
It's just weird that someone can say that air-pollution was the cause of death. I'm not saying that there is no smogger, or that peoople aren't massively vomiting in the streets to the point that you're knee-deep in puke walking around Montreal. |
