I lived in Fort Mc Murray for 25 years, and was only 25 miles away from the Suncor Tarsands Plant.Toxic Environment? Only if you don't mind living past your 55th birthday!" My now dead Father" ate, slept, and breathed Suncor for 25 years. Suncor has a wonderful retirement package but you'll never live long enough to enjoy it.And they know it! Why do you think they pay so well? Right before my father died he was making $87.00 hr.If i could I would blow up that fucking disgrace of a Hellish place.

people invest money to make more money, not to watch it go down in value. Investing in green energy yields a negative return on investment. All you who are complaining don't have money that's why you can't do anything about it. All the people who have money are smart enough to not invest in green. You have to figure out how to earn money first, then use it to invest in green... but will you invest hard earned money in green when it will just lose value??? YOU JUST GOT OWNED!

Project Blue is actualy loophole portfolio to evoid taxes. God willing i hope RBC goes bust, will surely close all my rbc on this wednesday and put none ING. Every Resposible Canadian should pull off their money from RBC.

The funny thing is that on RBC's intranet, they post stories about being one of the greenest corporations and about their clean water efforts (project blue). They even have an environmental committee that employees can join. What does the committee do? I'm not entirely sure. I think they sometimes send out surveys. Nothing serious of course. More like the type of survey you would have read in 1989.

Hmm Albert Energy Claim "Developers are required to restore oil sands mining sites to at least the equivalent of their previous biological productivity, which means the region as a whole forms an ecosystem landscape at least as healthy and productive as that which existed before development."

But there is no picture or example of restored oil sand mining sites, and in most pictures it looks like nothing is ever going to grow they're again

are you serious i hate that people don't understand the cluster fuck of oil was there lake a huge natural oil spill. the tar sands can and should be viewed as a clean up. the oil was leaching into the river long before we got there. try talking to people who work up there and understand what they are doing there. they will spread some light on your horribly miss guided views.

i really hope RBC suffers the same fate that Citi group and other u.s banks went through.
