Bill C-405 sought to make these changes, but I'm not sure what happened. www.parl.ca/documentview... Perhaps someone can explain why this effort failed and what we should do next time to get this fixed?

I totally agree. A new law was proposed a law in 2024 so that "Lying to Parliament would be punishable by at least six months in jail, while contempt of Parliament would result in fines under legislation proposed by local MP Michael Barrett". Source: www.recorder.ca/news/barrett...

Barrett's bill seeks jail, fines for flouting Parliament
Conservative MP Michael Barrett is spearheading a private member's bill calling for stiffer penalties for contempt of Parliament.

SHAME! Since oilsands mining operations started in 1967, 1.3 trillion litres of fluid tailings has accumulated in these open ponds on the Northern Alberta landscape. This is enough toxic waste to fill 400,000 Olympic swimming pools. www.pembina.org/blog/tailing... #cdnpoli #ableg #abpoli

Underinvestment: Industry insiders and reports indicate that companies have underinvested in infrastructure for decades, contributing to the problem. Since privatisation, around £74.2 billion has been paid out in dividends to shareholders in England and Wales. QED

However, investigations have revealed that companies have also discharged illegally in dry weather.

quantum-mechanics.bsky.social @quantum-mechanics.bsky.social · 29/11/2025
Systemic Issue: The UK's combined sewage system (mixing rainwater and wastewater) means that during heavy rainfall, treatment works can be overwhelmed, leading to legal discharges via storm overflows to prevent sewage backing up into homes.
100
quantum-mechanics.bsky.social @quantum-mechanics.bsky.social · 29/11/2025
Data Limitations: Historically, monitoring equipment was not designed to measure volumes, and full real-time monitoring of all overflow sites across the industry only began recently (all sites were monitored for the first time in 2024).
100
quantum-mechanics.bsky.social @quantum-mechanics.bsky.social · 29/11/2025
This is the equivalent of 412 continuous years of sewage pollution. Thames Water alone was responsible for pumping at least 72 billion litres of sewage into the River Thames between 2020 and 2022. This figure is considered an underestimate because not all sites were monitored for volume.
100
quantum-mechanics.bsky.social @quantum-mechanics.bsky.social · 29/11/2025
Data on the duration of sewage spills is available for recent years. Some volume estimates exist for specific periods. Total Spill Hours (Recent Data): Water companies released raw sewage into England's rivers and seas for a record 3.6 million hours in 2024, a slight increase on 2023 figures.
100
quantum-mechanics.bsky.social @quantum-mechanics.bsky.social · 29/11/2025
It is impossible to provide a single, exact figure for the total volume of sewage poured into the Thames and other UK waterways since privatisation in 1989 because comprehensive volume monitoring across all overflow points has only been required relatively recently.
100
quantum-mechanics.bsky.social @quantum-mechanics.bsky.social · 29/11/2025
Since privatization in 1989, the UK has been pouring sewer into the Thames at volumes not seen since the great stink of 1858 and the resulting Victorian era works cleaning up the Thames by 1875.

It's Canada's perpetual double standard: "National unity" is code for "give the oil industry what it wants" every time while "we plan to build big so if you're not on board then get out of the way (or get stomped on)" is for environmentalists, every time. It's weaponized petrostate status quo. 14/
