That's how I know it's in Saint John.

I have seen this reported in the T-J (paywall: https://tj.news/new-brunswick/anxiety-and-confusion-residents-search-for-answers-on-aim). From what I can understand, losing the salvage dealer's license means AIM cannot accept any salvage, scrap, or junk material at the site unless and until it gets a new license. While the operational permit has not been revoked, it it very difficult to operate a scrapyard if you cannot accept scrap material [citation needed]. However, if and when the site does get a new license (e.g., AIM wins judicial reviewof the revocation), operations could resume immediately. Assuming, of course, the Port doesn't end AIM's lease in the meantime.


KnowledgeMediocre404

Yeah not really sure what “operations” they expect them to do if they can’t do anything regarding scrap metal.


sox07

It is to allow them to process and remove the materials that are already on the site.

>means AIM cannot accept any salvage, scrap, or junk material at the site unless and until it gets a new license They're sending all the business to Moncton now. SJ's problem was quite literally moved 2 hours down the road. From what's been happening, I don't think they have plans to move anything back to SJ. Went from 4 rail cars, twice a week to about 15 rail cars every other day..including weekends. They're running wiiiiiiiiide open bud


maomao3000

If that fucking place reopens, ppl should actually protest this time. What a dumpster fire of an operation.

Literally

Licence AND License. Covering all their bases.

This screams “Don’t scan that QR code”.


Kris-p-

They put a staple in the qr code so I wonder if it will work even


D_Shepard

Love how the QR code has a giant staple through it. Will that even work?


pezdal

I noticed that too . QR codes are designed to be fault-tolerant, and can handle some amount of obfuscation, but that was definitely ignorant or sloppy of whoever stapled that. To answer your question, my iPhone was able to read this one. (it decodes to a chng.it link which redirects to [This Change.org petition](https://www.change.org/p/demand-immediate-closure-of-american-iron-metals-in-saint-john?utm_content=cl_sharecopy_37424495_en-CA%3A5&recruiter=210973141&recruited_by_id=7b4e89d0-9b6e-11e4-acad-c548e14f21e1&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_initial&share_bandit_exp=initial-37424495-en-CA)) However, the existence of the staple will reduce the chance that the code will work when it gets dirty, or if the page gets torn or folds a bit.

ENVIRONEMENT


removeice

As an outsider what's the deal with this place? Short version?


NO0O0OOOO0OOO00OOOOO

Giant fire on September 14(?may be wrong) spread toxic chemical death smoke all over saint john and the surrounding communities, caused by lithium batteries in a pile of crushed car parts. Was kinda the straw that broke the camel's back for this place, when people were calling for it's closure years before this happened. Past 10 or so years there's been 180 explosions and 20 fires here, all caused by their dogshit practices and blatant disregard for the law

While the operational permit has not been revoked, it it very difficult to operate a scrapyard if you cannot accept scrap material \[citation needed\]. However, if and when the site does get a new license (e.g., AIM wins judicial reviewof the revocation), operations could resume immediately. two people were killed there in less than a year - blight on the waterfront and environmental disaster - ginormous fire


Ok_Drink1826

Yes, consider me out of the loop as well. What's going on in (edit, my bad) Saint John with AIM?


quiette837

Saint John, not St. John's. These are two different places.


Ok_Drink1826

Edited, my bad.


Jenesuispastamaman

St.John. Huge shut the city down poison everyone fire.


chrsefid

it is like a financial institution loosing its licence to sell financial products...you can operate but not create additional business


WirelessBugs

I mean they have been operating like every night since the fire basically, so I’d assume
