This was a calculated parting shot from Harper to the Liberals.
Similar sewage releases occurred during Harper's reign and there was nary a peep from him or his party. This one was set to occur close to the election so Harper forced a moratorium until just after the election. Unfortunately, one the first duties for the new government was to end the moratorium and get the bad press. There really wasn't an alternative or choice in the matter.
Hopefully something gets done in the future so this doesn't have to keep happening though.
