Lets try to grasp the concept of power. People want power, some more then others. Power comes with money. The biggest money generating industry in the wolrd= energy/Oil. By luck, there is a lot in Alberta. Who has the most power in canada = the governement and private oil industries. Who wants to be more powerfull= them. At the cost of others. Albertas entire social structure is corrupt by the money comming from oil. People have money = compfort = indiference= dont want tosee the big picture.

You can't even bitch or complain about this, and do you want to know why? Because you buy gas and drive around in vehicles daily.
If you dont want your precious landscape scarred then it's your responsibility as consumers TO STOP BUYING GAS AND SUPPORTING THIS.
Go ride a horse if you're so concerned about "the environment" and stop being a bunch of hypocrites whining about how these hard working people are "killing the planet", guess what? They're doing it for you, you ungrateful eco-snobs.
i work up here, and were actually recovering the land to its origional state. less the oil of course. it looks amazing actually. and all of canada should be proud that we are concerned enough and care enough to reclaim the land. yes, long live alberta blue.................
Big Business has all the controls and Government regulates thier needs and this make for local decision makers a cayous structure. This is mega project is on Cree, Dene and Slavey Terrritory, to name a few Indigenous Nations effected by this project on a daily basis. Industrial Generating Companies need to regulated by the people most effected by their endless greed for control. control?!
Take for example the number of hits this video generated from the number say something stupid that does not effect the environment but has more hits. This disposition in viewers cost us our global awareness and eventually will be our downfall. We are consumed to much with sinsationalism rather than protecting our natural resources from narrow minded explorationalist.
Oh boo hoo Alberta, nobody wants to see the landscape turned into a desolate moonscape alright. And Canada definitely doesn't want the effects of your "TOXIC" oil sands legacy. For all you people working in the oil sands, you get to tell your kids and their kids how you helped destroy our beautiful country, wow, you must be so proud.
Like it or not Oil is the life blood of alberta. If you drive a pike in the heart of big oil you also kill alberta.
If you can casually say that destroying alberta economy is of no consequence then obviously you live in ontario, bc or quebec and vote liberal or ndp in every election and dont give half a damn about albertans...
Benifets? what benifets? people are worse off now, then before ! I was born in ft Mc Murry hospital ! 45Km from those planets ! I worked there ! only the union is making the money ! fuck everyone eles ! What a insaulting video from the canadian government! who ever made this video needs to get his or her teeth knocked out ! no body cares about anything eles but that fucking dollor ! Listin to you people ! our social network is crumbleing ! more people are becoming HOMELESS.
What Booms eventually must bust, most people dont think about this and when we run out of water, our environment is destroyed, and all you workers that spent your early years in tar sands are dying of cancers just like the local indigenous population what are you going to tell your kids? We need green jobs that are local jobs, men and women from the maritimes shouldnt have to be away from their families just to work. Canada needs a green energy revolution! Workers, Indigenous Peoples Unite!
wtf do all you critics know about anything. hell, you can get cancer from a fuckin' pop can, saran wrap & red meat. and rare cancers..you can thank anti-biotics & lysol (kill 99% of germs/bacteria)for that shit. let your kids eat dirt...its good for them. and face the facts. the oilsands are turning canada into a world economic leader.wait i mean alberta haha. we should draw the line, and have Ralph Klein as the President of Western Canada. BC, AB & SK would make a great country.
Still, a lot better than ethanol fuel. 1KJ of cane ethanol needs 0.8kJ energy investment. And it requires use of fertile land in area where most countries are poor. Corn ethanol is a mentally retarded idea: 1KJ needs 1.1 KJ ibnvestment (you need to burn MORE fuel than the amount of fuel one produces from corn).
True, but with oil prices through the roof that is no longer a crippling problem. So, money is hardly an issue.
The problem is that the process requires use of large amounts of energy (sands have to be delivered using trucks to refineries). For comparison, a KJ Arabian oil needs about 0.01KJ of energy to extract is. 1 kJ of Albertain oil needs 0.3kJ to extract.
albert is rich in resources but there is only lip service from alberta government on the envoiremental impact. the area disturbed is huge, which can be seen on google earth.
land reclaimed is less that %0.4 of all disturbed land. Even then that reclaimed land will never be as it was before.
WHo can afford it any more?? Its not easy.. You make more yes but it costs you more to live too.. Ft MacMurray MacDonalds workers are getting 17.00/hr to flip burgers..
So what $400,000 for a home, you just go and work there, you buy a home in your own local market place. Back home, the housing economy is terrible. I can pick up a repo'd house for less than $100,000. Cost of living is just an excuse for being lazy and not taking risk.
thats the problem THIS IS MY LOCAL MARKET PLACE I live in Edmonton...Thats where homes have gone up to that crazy price,, A lot was caused by speculaters.. and now [prices have leveled and even dropped a load of homes are o the market and speculaters are selling quick or losing thier shirts
Yes, I guess your right, thats not to good for you. For me its great, the average house where I live is $100,000. Hopefully everything works out for you.
Syncrude only care for profit.People living close to the river are already suffering from rare cancers. They have even made it illegal to photograph their operations. This world has an insatiable thirst for oil no matter what the cost. But its really time everybody started paying attention to the consequences of this on humans and the environment from Baghdad to Nigeria from Alaska to Rossport from Saudi Arabia to beneath the stripped birch forests of Alberta.
Many local natives working in the tar sands are there because their local economy has been destroyed by the "development". Take the Lubicon. Moose harvest went down 200 to 20 per year after extraction began. Destroying the means of living of a group is tantamount to genocide. The World Council of Churches condemed exploitation of Lubicon territory saying it could have "genocidal consequences".
they burn lots of the stuff to get it out of the sand. and those lakes of goop. but it's 40% of the Canadian domestic production. but all the investment in this could go a long way in other research for sustainable energies

this project = genocide on the native people of this province. With the advent of global warming and the future of water scarcity this project=madness.
@monsterredlight Fort chip does not posses a claim for development, this is why they have attracted world wide attention. because they see fort mckay, 13% of them must be employed, land which is excavated must be paid for by the km square. i catch and release on the athabasca every 6 days, never seen a fish deformed. is there an increase in cancer in people WORKING in sites? no! stop being misled and do some research you fking goat, the dog has you going where it wants you,

How much energy does it take to make a barrel of oil from the oil sands? I heard it is high plus there is millions of gallons of water used.
