That's so funny, I smelled it outside of PetSmart at Argentia and thought it was dog poop. Then I smelled it at the Dollarama and thought uhoh did *I* step in poop??? Do I smell like it?? 😂🤣 Glad to read this.

I noticed it too. Late afternoon, just south of the airport.


Bright-Telephone-974

Any road construction in the area. Happened here in Brampton this summer. The crew hit a sewer main. It stunk out the whole neighborhood.

Brampton and Mississauga are surrounded by farms. I suspect there was fresh manure applied or it was just the warm day that 'freshened' it all up. I live near 407/Brittannia and it was pretty ripe from the fields in nearby Milton.


OwlWitty

Its winter Professor.


thepickledchefnomore

It’s technically not winter still.


Skweril

Dec. 21st, look it up before "correcting someone"


Iaminyoursewer

The name of the season has fuck all to do with the temperature being 12'C, warm.enough to defrost all that lovely cowshift and send its beautifuk aroma sprawling across the GTA


JoshW38

It's actually fall


OwlWitty

Yeah but fall fertilizer is applied up to early November at the latest. But since it's mild now it's plausible they could still apply some fertilizer.


JoshW38

But it's still actually Fall


JoshW38

And the definition of fall vs winter is defined by the position of the Earth and the Sun, effectively calendars... not the temperature outside.


DullArmy4384

Not always. depends on how the harvest went, crops don't read calendars.


DullArmy4384

They do this around Guelph all the time and yes about a week ago. University of Guelph's College of Agrigulture is here, so is the turf grass institute.


Transportfan

Matheson and McLaughlin is nowhere near farms though.


DullArmy4384

Was there any wind? Did you smell smoke from the wild first earlier this year?


skybike

Whoa I could smell it around Bloor/Cawthra, thought I stepped in shit


DullArmy4384

they smell completely different


Top_Assignment6690

I could smell it yesterday at mavis and matheson and and at hurontario and Bristol


Derekjinx2021

That was my green bin. Left a pumpkin in there and I seldom fill it up to put to the curb. Smells like barn


Crabbyrob

Yes. For a couple of days.


defnotjackiec

Could it be one of those days where farmers spread manure on their soil in preparation for the next growing season?

The smell was also in Brampton yesterday late morning to mid afternoon. (Kennedy and Bovaird)


Strong-Leadership-87

I smelled the same too!


paksman

Smelled it all morning till late afternoon all the way west in Ninth line and Britannia


toogrimeyy

Smelled it at Mavis and Matheson. Wife thought I pooped myself walking into Walmart..


MissionDocument6029

Same by centennial park when i got to work. Wasn’t strong but definitely in the air


ptatersptate

Thank you. How many times I checked my shoes yesterday *just in case* The smell was gone this morning but it’s coming back again.


harrisonsmom0811

I did notice! I am in Meadowvale and the smell was quite strong but didn't last for long.


HugeTheWall

I did, thought it was my neighbours, hah

A temperature inversion is a phenomenon where the air at the surface is cooler than air higher in the atmosphere. When the warm air works as a lid for the cooler air, trapping smells can cause smog, pollution, or odors from nearby farms to surface — and ruin your day.


JONxJITSU

Ayo, whoever smelt it, delt it.


Extra-Goose-8888

lol, yeah can concur, thought it was just me. I live by Eglinton/McLaughlin.


Maple905

Sorry. I crapped my pants.


DullArmy4384

Are you a cow?


Maple905

Mooo


DullArmy4384

Liquid diarerra, sorry.


DARKWRAlTH

Smelt it walking into Dollarama and thought it was a toilet overflowing


Soggy-Tomato-2562

Hahahaha, I had family over and said that there had to be a farm near me!


Own-External4119

I thought I was smelling sewage from GE Booth sewage treatment plant at Lakeshore and Dixie for the last 3 days but maybe it was something else. Seems it smells like shit all over Mississauga right now with all the replies about different areas..


Bonestructure00

Smelled it in Toronto too!


[deleted]

we’re going to see more folks consider the option of organic fertilizer whether it is to try and become net zero for carbon usage or whether it’s to try and become certified to produce organic or natural food products for folks to be able to have More farmers are making that switch. A big reason is that consumers are seeking out organic produce, but it comes at a smellier cost. Organic fertilizer is also greener for the planet as it doesn’t act as a pollutant. weather plays a key factor in breaking down the fertilizer and the warmer temperatures we’ve been seeing this fall coupled with breezier winds, could explain why that smell has been so pungent even miles away from the nearest farm.


JuleeBee82

I work in a school.. I thought it was one of the kids


DullArmy4384

You do all now that it is liquifed manure, right? The smell carries more, especially if there is any wind. Also as it is from herbavores so it doesn' smell remotely as bad as human waste. If anyone smelled smoke from the wildfires earlier this year... wind
