  • propaganda

  • I find the Tar Sands extremely distructive, there is just no way to wrap your mind around the extent of the disregard for life this mining imposes AND I also find it unreasonable that comments like @175yam1 (6 months ago), which voice the economic reality, are marked "SPAM." A loud voice making this attrocity known is vital. Acknowledging the reality of the everyday edge, eg. how to pay the bills & get food etc. must be considered or we are defeated before we take a step.

    Rock vs Hard Place.

  • You forgot the say that the oil sands provide 0.1% of the worlds green house gasses. How devastating is that!!!

  • Why not look into the voraxial separator for recycling the oil sands contaminated water?

  • revolution

  • @Spazman173 Errrrr....no it's fact actually.

  • whoah whoah don't speak for all canadians there bud.

    It has it's benefits.. if there is some regulation and control to it.

    One has to be careful about environmental impact.

  • This is propaganda.

  • I love how every time one of these things comes up with an international organization commenting on our domestic affairs, they always say what people in some other country think about it.

    It's a Canadian matter, so it's what the Canadian people think that matters. We're happy with the way the oil sands business is being conducted.

    You can't look at things purely from an environmental perspective. It's a domestic source of oil, which is a good thing. It creates jobs too.

  • So, are we setting a good example or are we just fooling ourselves?
