Also, good thing they are deciding to keep that contaminated shell site you mentioned, there's some history we should deffinately hold on to.

Sorry, the point I was trying to make is that the chicken plant, in the grande scheme of things, isn't the only or even the biggest problem for Ramsay. Clean up on the old Shell site isn't even in any kind of planning as far as I know.
I guess what I'm trying to say is the NIMBY's in Ramsay and Inglewood will never be happy. As you said, if the city had rules on the release of odours, maybe the chicken plant wouldn't be so bad. Sure, get rid of the chicken plant, but Ramsay and Inglewood are so close to the businesses in Ogden that create these unpleasant odours, I just have to wonder where we draw the line. On any given day in my back yard I can smell the Alberta Distillery, Fleishman's Yeast, Iko (shingle manufacturer), and on really good days, the smell coming from the Bonnybrook Treatment Plant, just to name a few. But I knew those businesses were there long before I moved into the neighbourhood, and that's what you get when living there. If they can't live with it, maybe Ramsay isn't the right neighbourhood for them.
