[edit] Taller Chimney

According to the article, the GRES-2 Power Station's chimney is higher than this. Should we change the article? I only put this on the talk page because the GRES-2 Power Station was built in 1987, so that comment should never have been put into the article. --Gephart 08:47, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

I was bold and went and changed the article. I couldn't find a natural place to indicate the tallest chimney, so I just linked to the World's tallest structures -- Ch'marr 15:51, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

For what it's worth, this article previously stated "tallest chimney in the Western Hemisphere"; I'm not sure who changed it to the obviously wrong "tallest in the world" claim, or when. Bearcat 16:54, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dissent on barrenness of local landscape

It is incorrect to state that before the building of the Super Stack by INCO, that Sudbury was devoid of trees in a 40 square mile radius. There were lots of trees in the City of Sudbury and the surrounding bush. In the south end of Sudbury, known as Locerby, we walked through the bush to get to school. In public school in the early sixties, my friend used to tap the maple trees for the sap.

Also, to say that there were no lawns in Sudbury is also not correct. There were certain areas of Sudbury that were barren of any vegetation but that was because of earlier mining practices. I am referring to Conistion to the east and the tailings around Copper Cliff to the west.

Sudbury had numerous hard woods as well as coniferous trees.

Someone more knowledgable than myself can tackle the argument, the edit seems more appropriate here on the talk page and definitely didn't belong where it was placed in the article. Oneballjay 18:54, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
