The Globe & Mail’s John Lorinc:
A Pickering firm run by a former minor hockey league goalie has emerged as the recommended winning bidder on the cityâ€™s controversial garbage out-sourcing deal, city hall sources have confirmed.
An announcement is expected at a news conference scheduled for noon.
GFL Waste & Recycling Solutions was founded by Patrick Dovigi, a one-time Edmonton Oiler draft pick who formed the company in 2007 out of three smaller firms â€“ Direct Line Environmental, National Waste Services and Enviro West — that run several transfer stations and hauling operations.
The firm bid $17.5-million on a contract to provide residential waste collection west of Yonge Street, significantly undercutting three other large competitors, including Emterra Environmental ($23.9-million), Miller Waste Systems ($20.98-million) and Waste Management of Canada ($23.8-million and an alternate bid of $25.6-million).
A comparison between the announced figure and the numbers provided by staff (in the April report that kicked off this process) sure seem to back that assertion up. Green For Life is claiming they can pick up solid waste in District 2 — bordered by Etobicoke in the west and Yonge Street in the east — for $105 per household, or $95 per tonne. That’s comparatively less than what the current private contractor charges to pick up trash in Etobicoke. There, the costs work out to $119 per household and $103 per tonne. You can see the full comparison in the chart above.
I’m hardly an expert on solid waste collection, but I think it’s a safe assumption that solid waste collection in Etobicoke — with wide, suburban streets and leafy culs-de-sac — is a hell of a lot easier than it is in District 2, which includes a wide swath of downtown.
In another fun note, Lorinc also reports that the “the city’s recommended seven year contract offer to GFL is actually about $8-million more than what GFL initially bid, due to contingencies, HST recovery and cost of living allowances.” Those extra fees result in a contract that totals about $25.5 million a year, would seem to put the actual year-to-year savings of garbage privatization in District 2 at just under two million dollars.
So, some lingering questions to discuss:
- Is GFL’s bid so low that it’s suspicious?
- What is the city giving up — in terms of control and/or quality of service — to achieve potential overall savings that, reportedly, could only amount to $2 million per year in District 2?

Find Drug Rehab and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers in Smithville
If you or a loved one in Smithville, Missouri is battling a drug abuse, drug addiction or alcoholism issue, a very crucial thing that you should realize is that if you have tried and can't stop using drugs and/or alcohol on your own, do not give up hope, seek professional help. There are several different treatment options to choose from.
When you make the decision to search for professional help, it is vital that you understand all of your choices so that you can decide on a drug treatment and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility in Smithville that is right for you. Many people recover from addiction every day.
If you have attempted to quit your drug or alcohol abuse on your own but despite your best efforts have not been able to discover how to accomplish your goal to repair your life and get clean and sober. Your best option is to accept professional help.
If you are not sure what to do or how to find help contact us and speak with a registered addiction specialist at 1-855-350-3330 and you will receive a professional assessment and direction in finding treatment options by a certified addiction professional completely free of charge.
When an individual discontinues using addictive drugs it is likely that they will experience withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal symptoms are manifested in different physical discomforts depending upon the drug that the person is addicted to. Detox is a method of using medicine that reduces the physical discomfort of withdrawal so that the individual can safely come off of the drug that they are dependent on. Detox is only the first action in the rehabilitation of a substance abuse problem. Studies have revealed convincingly that without further treatment the individual will likely backslide back to their addiction. Once you have decided on a detox facility in Smithville, MO., it is crucial to find a drug rehab program and/or alcohol rehab program in Smithville concurrently so that when the detox process is complete you are set up to receive the treatment that you need to remain clean and sober.
Short term light to medium drug or alcohol abuse can in many cases be successfully treated by a Smithville short term alcohol or drug rehabilitation center. Moderate drug or alcohol abuse would best be explained as the alcohol or drug abuse being at a low level of consumption and has been occurring over a brief period of time. When it comes to resolving addiction the best treatment plan would be one that fits the situation and the addiction level of the individual. In regards to drug or alcohol abuse it could be said that, there is no such thing as too much treatment but for mild, short term, substance abuse a short term alcohol and/or drug treatment center in Smithville, MO. will usually be adequate to put the person on the road to recovery.
Drug Intervention in Smithville, Missouri
Intervention has become a life saving tool in the addiction treatment field. The old catch-phrase "they have to hit bottom" has disheartened many. It is now recognized that the addict cannot think rationally because of the toxic levels of drug and/or alcohol that they are consuming. We now fully grasp the effects of drug addiction and alcoholism on the brain which makes the addicted person incapable of making sensible decisions to seek help for their addiction. In the instance of a severe addiction, loved ones must take control if there is to be any chance of a positive outcome. If someone you care about is battling a long term, serious, substance abuse condition that refuses to enter a drug rehab or alcohol treatment program in Smithville for the help that he or she needs to recover, intervention would be the proper solution to get them into an alcohol or drug treatment facility in Smithville, MO. that could very well save their life.
If you have been experiencing a moderate alcohol or drug abuse problem for a brief period of time i.e. less than a year or so and you have decided that you want to stop but are having difficulty doing so, you may want to enroll yourself into a Smithville, Missouri outpatient drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility. The degree of care that is used by outpatient alcohol and drug rehab centers should be enough in the instance of moderate drug or alcohol abuse complemented with a short history of addiction. If this option proves unsuccessful, your next alternative would be to find an inpatient drug and/or alcohol rehab facility in the Smithville area. The level of treatment and support dispensed at an inpatient rehab center increases substantially when compared with outpatient rehab, offering you a much greater opportunity to accomplish your goal of quitting drugs and/or alcohol and repairing your life.
The necessity for long term drug rehab and alcohol treatment programs (90 days or longer) was acknowledged many years ago. It was obvious in the substance abuse treatment field that there were different levels of addiction and as a result different levels of treatment were created. A person with an extended background of substantial drug and/or alcohol abuse should seek out and find a long term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in Smithville, Missouri because studies have shown that there is a far greater probability to succeed in the recovery process with a long term treatment plan. In the case of serious drug addiction or alcoholism a short rehabilitation plan does not usually suffice as the addiction has been in place for way too long to be resolved in a few days or weeks. After being detoxed off of the drug or drugs successfully there is the whole recovery process of learning how to be comfortable in their daily life without the use of drugs thereby lessening the chance of continual relapse, rehab, relapse, rehab. It is far better to succeed the first time and for a significant addiction problem, studies show that the best bet is to attend a long term drug rehabilitation or alcohol rehab program in Smithville.
If you have had an acute long term drug or alcohol addiction problem the most effective action is to find a long term Smithville, MO. inpatient alcohol rehab and/or drug rehabilitation program. Research studies have demonstrated convincingly that an individual having a long term, acute drug addiction or alcoholism problem responds most beneficially with a rehab duration of not less than 90 days in a residential/inpatient drug and alcohol treatment program. Many men and women struggling with drug addiction or alcoholism object to a commitment of 90 days, but think about how irrational the objection is, when you compare it to all of the years that they have struggled with the addiction and all of the emotional pain that they have also brought about to their loved ones. In closing, if you are battling a serious addiction, find an inpatient alcohol and drug treatment center in Smithville, Missouri and begin the amazing voyage toward a better life, you will wonder why you had not done it sooner.

Jealousy Mawarire the spokesperson for the Robert Mugabe endorsed National Patriotic Front (NPF) has claimed that the military is now in full control of everything including the upcoming 2018 harmonised elections. He also claimed that the actual number of soldiers deployed in rural areas stands at 5 000. Speaking at an inter-district meeting in Bulawayo Mawarire said,
Going for elections, we must be prepared for any eventualities and that is what we are doing. We are, however, worried about the deployment of soldiers in various wards of the country. Earlier on, it was said that about 2 000 soldiers had been deployed in various wards in the country, but we have done our own investigations and established that about 5 000 soldiers are deployed in various wards in the country.
It’s given that elections are now controlled by soldiers even the adviser to President Emmerson Mnangagwa is on record having said that the decisions are now made at KGIV. Really when you deploy army to conduct elections, I do not think you do that for elections to be peaceful, but to intimidate and coerce people, and once you force people there is no peace.

Tennessee’s seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate rose sharply in July, the largest monthly increase in more than five years. But economists say there’s no cause for alarm.
The rate rose from 6.6 percent in June to 7.1 percent last month. The last time the rate increased half a percentage point from one month to another was March of 2009. At that time, in the midst of the Great Recession, Tennessee’s rate rose from 9.6 percent to 10.1 percent.
Matt Murray of the University of Tennessee’s Center for Business and Economic Research warns against drawing conclusions from the increase because unemployment numbers can be volatile from month-to-month. And he says July’s upswing looks more like a short-term adjustment. “The unemployment rate moved down more quickly than I had expected early in the year,” Murray told WUOT News, “so things appear to be evening out.”
Murray says he expects the rate to recover from July’s increase. “The economy should show continued growth,” he says, “and the longer-term trend is still downward movement in the rate.”
The Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development says the largest job increases in the last month occurred in financial activities, retail trade and mining, logging and construction.
Tennessee’s rate trails the national rate of 6.2 percent, which rose one-tenth of a percent in July.


The Scottish legal affairs minister has called for new legislation to tackle the problem of so-called legal highs, as he backed a new report published by an expert review group.
The report recommends a range of measures and suggests that the Scottish Government works with the Home Office to adapt key policies used in the Republic of Ireland.
Paul Wheelhouse MSP said he would meet with UK Crime Prevention Minister Lynne Featherstone MP to discuss creating new laws.
Mr Wheelhouse said in a statement to MSPs that he accepted all of the recommendations contained in the review.
“It has become increasingly clear over the past few years that the danger of new psychoactive substances represents a significant challenge for our health, justice and third-sector organisations”, Mr Wheelhouse said.
He added: “The fact their ingredients are unknown and untested is particularly worrying, and we have seen tragic incidents where these substances have caused huge harm to users, even death.”
He said there was “no silver bullet to tackle the problem”, but felt they could make “strong progress to keep our communities safe”.
Currently drugs legislation is controlled by Westminster and legal highs are banned on a case-by-case basis in the UK.
The Government has banned 350 legal highs since 2010, but it has struggled to stop manufacturers in China and India from modifying the molecular structures and creating new forms of the drugs.
But the Home Office is drafting new legislation to place a blanket ban on all such substances, which it hopes to push through ahead of the General Election in May.
The legislation would ban all attempts to advertise, sell or import the substances, and also outlaw the use of a substance based on its impact on the brain.
Last year, Home Secretary Theresa May said: “A couple of proposals have come out and we are looking to work on a blanket ban based on the sort Ireland has to make enforcement easier”.

An early start today, got to get working, got to get out the shipyard. The weather today was perfect, just a bit of drizzle, not enough to stop work. All day I have been cleaning, scraping, sanding and painting. Truce is now almost ready for antifouling paint.
After a couple of glasses of amber nectar last night I found a solution to the broken strut. The strut is like a leg, when a leg is broken you splint it. Why not splint the strut? By putting stainless plates either side of the strut and bolting them through, the strut is made whole again. The whole arrangement acts like an ‘I’ beam and has great strength.
A young guy called Jimmy Pritchett did the work and made a great job of it. The bolts are tapped into the receiving plate and then welded in place to prevent any chance of movement. I am very pleased and relieved to have got the job completed. I feel pretty tired tonight, it’s been a long day. The boat is in disarray, stuff everywhere as I am doing some small jobs inside now that we are out of the water.
The biggest inconvenience is not having fresh water at hand. Wrangell has a water crisis (treatment plant problem). Hope the weather holds for a couple more days.

Written by Alice Dartevelle, student in the Health Law and Policy Clinic, Fall 2017.
When my clinical supervisor, Caitlin McCormick-Brault, asked me if I would be interested in attending a meeting of the Chronic Illness and Disability Partnership (CIDP) in Washington D.C. as part of the Federal advocacy project of the clinic, I immediately said yes. Indeed, as an exchange student from France enrolled in the clinic, it seemed like a unique opportunity to observe some ground advocacy work in the United States.
CIDP is a coalition of several national organizations, including the Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation, representing individuals living with diverse chronic illnesses or disabilities. The main goal of CIDP is to assess the current policy issues that might affect and jeopardize access to care for the vulnerable populations that these organizations represent and to work as partners to efficiently respond to those issues.
While the representatives of more than a dozen of those national organizations progressively arrived in the meeting room, the atmosphere was a little tense as everyone kept an eye on the imminent release of President Trump’s executive order about health care insurance. But we soon got into the substance of this meeting, beginning with a roundtable on each participant’s current priorities and concerns regarding access to health care for their specific populations, especially considering the current political setting. This meeting agenda mainly focused on current concerns about Medicaid 1115 and 1332 Waivers, which respectively allow states to submit proposals to modify their Medicaid program and to request a five year exemption from certain ACA provisions. Even if those waivers are not all inherently suspect, they can represent a threat to access to care for people living with chronic conditions and disabilities, especially if they involve adding new barriers such as for example work requirements, drug testing, time limits for enrollment or lock-outs.
The core of the meeting’s discussion was about the best ways to litigate against potentially harmful waivers and to develop CIDP comments on waivers and responses to federal regulations. What struck me was the ability of this coalition to work as a team to find and share the best arguments to fight against potential health care threats, and to keep each other updated on their current issues in order to always try to keep one step ahead.
Getting the chance to participate to this meeting was a truly significant opportunity for me to witness the practical, on-the-ground tactical work done to address the problems that I have studied in class, as well as a chance to see advocacy in action. I truly found it an enriching and valuable experience.

Bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) is a major cause of economic loss in the cattle industry, worldwide. Infection results in reduced productive performance, growth retardation, reduced milk production and increased susceptibility to other diseases leading to early culling of animals. There are two primary methods used to control the spread of BVDV: the elimination of persistently infected (PI) animals and vaccination. Currently, modified live or inactivated vaccines are used in BVDV vaccination programmes, but there are safety risks or insufficient protection, respectively, with these vaccines. Here, we report the development and efficacy of the first targeted subunit vaccine against BVDV. The core of the vaccine is the fusion of the BVDV structural protein, E2, to a single-chain antibody, APCH, together termed, APCH-E2. The APCH antibody targets the E2 antigen to the major histocompatibility type II molecule (MHC-II) present on antigen-presenting cells. Industrial production of the vaccine is carried out using the baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS) using single-use manufacturing technologies. This new subunit vaccine induces strong BVDV-specific neutralizing antibodies in guinea pigs and cattle. Importantly, in cattle with low levels of natural BVDV-specific neutralizing antibodies, the vaccine induced strong neutralizing antibody levels to above the protective threshold, as determined by a competition ELISA. The APCH-E2 vaccine induced a rapid and sustained neutralizing antibody response compared with a conventional vaccine in cattle.

Incorporating Lead Aware Times ( ISSN 1440-4966) and Lead Advisory Service News ( ISSN 1440-0561)
The journal of The LEAD (Lead Education and Abatement Design) Group Inc.
The following article is reprinted with kind permission, from the Ashburton Guardian, New Zealand (16/12/93).
A teething Mid Canterbury [New Zealand] toddler chewed enough lead-based paint from her renovated cot to die from lead poisoning, Ashburton Coroner Laurence Cooney has been told.
Twelve-month-old Cody Marie Mann ingested 8.1 square centimetres of the paint and the undercoat and died of a condition so rare several doctors failed to diagnose it.
A Christchurch pathologist who found high levels of lead in Cody’s body after her death asked police to investigate because the chemical concentration was so abnormal.
Mr Cooney said Cody's mother, Katrina Mann, sought all the right advice when her baby was ill and could not be blamed for the death.
Miss Mann told Mr Cooney at yesterday’s inquest Cody was born on August 15, 1992, and was a happy and contented baby.
About May this year she began sleeping in a cot repainted by her partner, Michael McCormick, with a plastic-type paint recommended for the job. The cot was between 30 and 40 years old.
When Cody developed two teeth she began to chew the top rails of the cot, which the couple then coated with fabric as a deterrent.
Miss Mann mentioned it to her plunket nurse and to her general practitioner.
"I was advised that although this was not good for Cody, it certainly was not going to cause too much harm."
Cody’s health began to deteriorate in late July. The previously healthy baby became clingy and vomited her food.
"I contacted my GP on about August 14 and I was told it was normal for a child of that age, I presume because she was teething at the time.
"I was told to bring her back if she was really sick."
Unhappy with the advice, Miss Mann sought a second opinion nine days later. This doctor diagnosed an infection and prescribed antibiotics.
Cody vomited seven times that night and was admitted to Ashburton Hospital for observation the next day.
When the suspected urinary tract infection worsened she was transferred to Christchurch Public Hospital where she died on August 28, 1992. It was too late to treat her by the time lead poisoning was diagnosed.
Health protection officer Steve Hill said he was asked to investigate the case when lead poisoning was suspected as the cause of death.
He tested the interior and exterior of a house formerly occupied by the family at Princes Street in Ashburton and their present Mayfield home.
Mr Hill said Cody had chewed through up to four layers of paint, some of which was lead based.
The total areas measured about 8.1 square centimetres.
From that paint the toddler could have ingested up to 3.4 grams of lead, of which 40%, or 1.3 grams, would have been able to be absorbed by her body.
He said analysis of Cody’s hair showed lead levels climbed from two to 69 micrograms in the last two months of her life, corresponding with the onset of teething and her chewing the cot rails.
Mr Hill said he was also concerned about a high level of lead found within 20 cm of the 70-year-old painted weatherboard house at Mayfield.
He said lead was still used in some paints for pigmentation and to aid drying.
Some paints came with labels warning they should not be used on children’s toys.
Christchurch medical officer of health clinical adviser Dr John Holmes said lead poison cases were well documented, but rare.
"I am not aware of another case like this."
He said lead poisoning could be treated but the levels found in Cody were very high.
"The people I have spoken to have never seen anything like this."
Dr Holmes said exposure to low levels of lead caused retardation and a general slowing down.
He said the Public Health Commission was keen to study lead levels in New Zealand communities over its concern about environmental lead levels and lead in petrol.
Mr Cooney said Miss Mann had done everything a mother could to find out what was ailing her baby and fix it.
He said he hoped Cody’s death would not be in vain and that other parents would be aware of the potential hazard associated with ingesting lead.

The planned facility in Szczecin – a city on the Oder River, which leads to the Baltic Sea – could be Poland’s first offshore wind turbine factory.
Vestas plans to start operating the factory in the second half of 2024.
It expects the Szczecin plant to create between 600 and 700 direct jobs.
Vestas’ chief operating officer Tommy Rahbek Nielsen said: “Offshore wind has great prospects in Poland, and Vestas is proud to support the country in maximising its opportunities.”
It is unclear how much the factory will cost, how it will be funded, and where other turbine components destined for Vestas-supplied Polish offshore wind farms will be produced. It is also unclear whether components leaving the Szczecin plant can be transported up the Oder to the Baltic coast, or whether they will need to be transported by road.
Vestas’ announcement for Szczecin follows the Danish turbine maker being named preferred supplier for the 1140MW Baltic Power project being developed by PKN Orlen and Northland Power. It is due to supply 76 of its V236-15.0MW turbines for the project, support the designing of foundations, and service the turbines for 15 years.
In a simultaenous announcement, PKN Orlen stated that it would invest in an installation port in Świnoujście – up the rover Oder from Szczecin – where it will assemble Vestas' turbines from 2025.
Vestas stated that the Szczecin factory would support both domestic and global demand.
Poland currently lacks offshore wind capacity, but its Energy Regulatory Office contracted just over 5.9GW of offshore wind in the Baltic Sea last year.
It is also set to hold contracts for difference tenders in 2025 and 2027.
Beyond Poland, several Baltic Sea countries – including Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, and Sweden – are eyeing offshore wind development. Recently all Baltic Sea countries – bar Russia – agreed to work together to drive a massive increase in offshore wind capacity as Russia cuts off energy supplies to Europe.
Industry body WindEurope welcomed the announcement of Vestas and PKN Orlen’s plans, but warned that Europe will need many more investments in offshore wind facilities if the EU is to meet its target of 300GW capacity by 2050.
It stated: “There are already bottlenecks in the manufacturing capacity for the foundations of offshore turbines and in the availability of vessels to install them.”

Caitlin Sinead Jennings
At first you think moving will be fresh. It will be an adventure and a cleansing. But then the mirror doesn’t work in your new room. It shows you as you were then, that day. Your parents come to your screams, but they do not understand. There you are, in your pink tank top and cardigan. No, you say, I’m wearing that green shirt. Remember?
Their faces slip from concern to fear. To save them, you take it back. You say you just weren’t seeing right. Your dad shakes his head with eyes to the floor and your mom bites her lip, but they leave.
You decide not to worry them about the other stuff. In your closet, if you reach back too far, your arm draped in clothes, you feel a body. It is breathing. But when you duck to look for legs, between the hemlines of dresses and the tops of your shoes, neatly stored, you only see white wall. The lights flicker on and off at random times. At night, on the hardwood floor, you hear footsteps. They sound like flip-flops slapping against your brain. You are scared, but you manage to take this pile of new fears and place them on the growing heap in your closed chest. It is not bursting quite yet.
You shiver under the sheets for several nights before deciding to sleep on the couch in the living room. In the dark, the blank big screen TV looks so empty. You are careful to get up early, before they see that this is your new habit. Despite how careful you are, how good you are being, one night, after spaghetti and salad with croutons and ranch dressing, your parents fight. You retreat to the only place you can, your room. But the floorboards are not enough to keep out the yells and lashes with words.
You come home the next day to see Lori lying on your bed. She is wearing the same baseball shirt, the same cutoffs. Luckily her hair is clean, not sticky with blood and pressed against the windshield. She is drinking an orange soda, letting the carbonation, sugar, and orange dye slide down her still-intact throat.
You screech and run downstairs. In frantic burbles you try to explain. She is torturing me, your mom says to your dad as her thumb and pointer finger squish her forehead. She is just confused, he says. He is still looking at the ground.
Your dad enters your room. He sits on your navy blue bedspread, across from the mirror still showing your green shirt, even as you wear your comforting white t-shirt with a B-B-Q stain. He explains how the accident happened, as though he was there and you weren’t. You say you understand, because you do. Law-abiding moms in Camrys are no match for drunks in trucks who do not see the color red. But you do blame fate. Without your mom, without Barry, you wouldn’t have been in the intersection at that time. You can’t tell your dad about Barry though.
It happened on the carpool home from choir practice. Your mom said she’d make a quick stop and give Lori and you a treat. You waited, staring across the yogurt shop at your mom and Barry laughing together. Do you think your mom likes him? Like, “likes” him likes him, Lori asked you in her cutoffs as she swirled together the jimmies, hot fudge, and whipped cream. She didn’t mean harm; she was just curious. She did not realize you were disturbed by the expressions on your mom’s face. Expressions of joy whenever his hand glided on her knee.
You stare in the ill-functioning mirror. You gaze at the green shirt with the little pocket in the upper left chest and you stare at the small, bloody scratch on your forehead and the purple bruise forming on your check. Your fingers tell you your forehead is smooth, healed, but the mirror persists in showing the fresh scratch. You decide to just use the hallway mirror from now on.
When the lights start to flicker, you try putting Scotch tape on the rim of the shades to see if that will stop the blinking temporarily. It works. Soon your lampshades are lined with sticky plastic. You name the figure in the closet Joe to make him less scary. Although, to be honest, you are unsure of the being’s gender. You say good morning to Joe before picking out your outfit and you say good night to Joe before putting it back. When the flip-flops start up, instead of pulling the blankets tighter or descending to the living room, you sit up and say, starkly, quit it! The footsteps shuffle to the closet, and your mind shuffles to sleep.
When you see Lori on the bed, you hold the ends of the comforter firmly and say sorry before lifting them into a cascading, rippling wave, dispersing the fragments of Lori into the air, until they settle, invisible, somewhere else. Unless you feel like talking, then you chat, she on your bed, you sitting backwards in your desk chair. When you both are talked out, you say goodbye and ripple the comforter.
