Trouble Afoot

[Malthus]

From Buffalo there brews
The most distressing news;
A foot was found
In trash sent down
And nobody seems to know whose.

Human foot found among Toronto trash

A human foot has been found among mounds of trash brought to Buffalo from a transfer station in Toronto.

Toronto police received a call from authorities in the U.S. informing them of the discovery at about 9:15 p.m. on Monday.

The foot was found by an employee of the Buffalo transfer station while he was sorting recyclable materials on a conveyor belt. It is unknown if the foot belongs to a man or a woman.

Toronto police spokesperson Const. Tony Vella told ctvtoronto.ca.  it is "unclear at this time" when the Toronto waste was transferred to Buffalo.

Toronto went without garbage collection for five weeks because of a civic strike.

Over the weekend, cleaning crews collected 25,000 tonnes of trash that had been dumped at garbage sites throughout the city. By 1 a.m. Sunday, crews had cleared the last bags.

Torontonians had the option of dumping their trash at 26 temporary sites that were set up in neighbourhood parks or dropping off a limited number of bags at transfer stations that were being monitored by picketers.

Regular curb-side garbage and recycling collection resumes today.

Vella said he's not clear which Toronto police division is investigating the incident.

The foot was being held at a U.S. medical examiner's office.

Goddamned Canadian trash coming to America. Somebody should put their foot down and ban that shit.

P.S. This is what you Canucktards get for letting Karla Homolka out of prison.

Someone did put their foot down. That's the problem.

Anyway, accepting our garbage simply improves the tone of Buffalo - *they* should be paying *us*.

Those dudes love garbage up in Buffalo.  They even eat plates of it for lunch.

Dude, I can't make this stuff up.

So, why do you guys send trash to Buffalo & not to, say, Sault-St-Maries?

[Caliga]

Sault-St-Maries?

Too hard to pronounce.

Looks good - for dog food.

I dunno. Closer and cheaper to ship?
