Residents of the small village of St. Marys in the Canadian province Newfoundland and Labrador have been suffering from 17 years of serious and at the same time some strange (just fantastic) Problems.
About 400 people live here, and all of them are forced to inhale the disgusting smell of rotten fish in an abandoned factory nearby. In the summer, the stench becomes so unbearable that unfortunate Canadians have to leave their homes and leave live with relatives.

They say that the venture of a Vietnamese entrepreneur covered up Canadian Food Quality Authority Agency however it’s not clear why all this was done as strange as if someone from above arranged for the inhabitants of St. Marys a punishment of heaven for some sins.
The fact is that for all 17 years, local authorities could not find any one company that agreed to clean out these “Augean stables.” over time, fish waste deteriorated more and, in the end, become so toxic that even rodents have long left the walls of the plant, and today they are gradually leaving the house of St. Marys.

And where to go to the unfortunate natives in this case? All of them appeals to the authorities (not only of the province, but also higher, right up to center) have not yet been successful. There was only one company agreed to clean the factory from stinking fish waste for 700 thousand dollars, but there was no one who could pay this tidy amount of money. Such an offer looked like a mockery over the inhabitants of St. Marys.
Therefore, the mysterious problem of the Canadian village remains already overgrown with the most ridiculous rumors and speculation. They talk even that the Vietnamese businessman was taken by aliens, and his plant, together with rotten fish, serves for some kind of experiment over the inhabitants of St. Marys. That’s why nobody supposed to do anything maybe to solve this, in general, trifling problem on a scale civilized country. However, most Canadians are still believe that the stench of many years is God’s punishment, and therefore endure and pray, hope and wait. A cart, as they say, and now there…
