So it is ok to fuck up any area as long as you have so much "wilderness" To the Indigenous people that live there, IT IS NOT OK!

Ok. We need the oil, the alberta sands have around 2 trillion barrels of oil in place (according to shell canada), - a huge resource. If we dig it up, we destroy forest, if we don't, we lose this massive resource. What do we do? We're digging up the oil now, about a tenth of it is recoverable that way but most of it is recoverable by injecting steam, and pumping out the oil. This significantly reduces forest damage and will take over, but they need to do it now not later......

The people who made this are American. They've never been to Canada.

I've lived in Nothern Canada. You have no clue how large Northern Canada is if you complain that the tarsands eats up an area as big as Florida or England.

That is a drop in the buck for Northern Canada. We have so much wilderness, in 10 years the extracted areas will have reverted to forest again.

KNOW WHAT YOU ARE LOSING: The boreal region is the collection of the eight Canadian boreal eco-zones , at least it was before the TAR SANDS. While the biodiversity of regions varies, each eco-zone is rich in native flora and fauna, a place where we gather our Native Medicines. Ever see the movie Medicine Man??
