The Oil Up There

In March 2008, a group of concerned citizens from British Columbia visited possibly the most destructive industrial mega-project in the world.

The Tar Sands are large deposits of heavy crude oil, located in northern Alberta, Canada.

yeah, but what they fail to show...is that there really isn't any wildlife or forests that actually live where the tarsands are. The soil is uninhabital. These companies are just processing the soil and extracting the oil from it. Besides...it's just Canada...who cares. JK

Northern Alberta has dense boreal forests and is very rich in wild life.

It makes me sick that its in my home and we don't hear About it. Albertans have a vail over there eyes about it blinded by the money. The only hope is to get people to stop driving and living more locally and simply!

@tinram745 Blind to what? You are the one who is blind to the sarcastic remarks and what they imply. Stick to the cursing & slandering...it's sooo logical and effective at helping people understand your position.

[tinram745]

@violetember : it was your initial comment that started this back lash against you. how could you be so blind?

[violetember]

@tinram745 Is that supposed to be an intelligible response or argument? I'm so glad there are people like you making strong arguments. Good job.

[tinram745]

@violetember are you fucked? you can't be real.....or are you new?

Native people Betrayed. Modern day slaves. Thinkin that the reserves will be saved, till they start deporting people off the property, ethnically cleanse the indians economically

I hears the CEO of the oil company apologize in the last couple of days for downplaying the loss of wildlife. He admitted that the dead geese and ducks amounted to 258 thousand lost. I believe. That's a far cry from eight thousand. Now as for the people who live there, I feel outraged that their health is not being considered as more important than anything else. Look at what's happened to the native people on the reserve near Sarnia. We can't allow that to be repeated.
