Andrew Nikiforuk - The Tar Sands and Fort Chipewyan

[descanter]

kudos to Nikiforuk and others who are incredibly courageous in offering critical information in a province that actively propagates very rigid information regarding industrial degradation.

After this lecture, Andrew was exposed as being an activist propogandist who wanted the entire oilsands industry shut down. He would want this even if the bogus story about prolific cancer rates in Ft.Chip didn't exist. And in the last 2 days the newspapers quote Health Canada and the Alberta Cancer Board as saying that Dr.O'Connor lied to the community and the press about the numbers of rare cancers,how many died and how, and not doing proper diagnoses. The economic damage cannot be undone.

@jcmjelve 1) exposed by whom 2) which newspapers quoted these government organizations? 3) o'connor has been fully vindicated 4) maybe if alberta and canada focused some attention on cleaner, sustainable alternative energies and less on being a petrostate, the "economic damage" which "cannot be undone" would not be so bleak.
