Get a load of this , BC 's pipeline

You're right though it is insignificant. It's all natural waste and it really matters not whether it's dropped in the ocean or into our rural septic tanks to be pumped out later and trucked to your local lagoon and added to the water there. Nature can handle these things.

But maybe not in the concentration and volumes they're dumping into the oceans until it has a chance to dilute and dissipate.

Yup, then all the condoms, drugs expelled in urine and feces or unwanted medication just flushed down the terlet.....and who knows what all else....small pet birds, maybe reptiles, the kid's dead goldfish, cooking waste....

heres some facts grass ;
bc is by far and away the largest polluter (yes this is pollution)followed closely behind by quebec
between the two they account for well over 60% of canadas sewage dump
ironic isn't it , even more ironic that you would think its ok

Don't forget the concrete industry in Quebec....thats an environmental wonder being fully exempted from the carbon tax....actually its getting funding to sequester CO2 in cement as a sequester?????

Apparently CO2 is soluble in water.

I'd argue it's relative pollution caseih. Sure I wouldn't like to be swimming at the pipe outlet but in the grand scheme of things it's still just disposing primarily of faeces and urine onto the earth's surface the same as happens to all human body waste. Would be nicer to have it further decomposed before dumping it out by using filtration or reed beds but not really a huge problem in the grand scheme of things.
Bearing in mind that the water we use now is essentially the same stuff the dinosaurs peed in just many times recycled by the earth I'm more concerned by what farma brought up - drug residue being flushed down the toilet. Residue of birth control pills in the water supply is likely what is causing the dramatic crash in male fertility - that's the kind of thing that could preclude human survival on this planet. Another concern are the toxins and carcinogens being introduced into our water supplies/aquifers by activities like fracking - things like benzene in your water supply are more of a concern to me than untreated sewage being discharged in the ocean.
