Just sat through, "To the Last Drop", a Witness show on the Aljaz website. OMFG! The oil sands extraction project is a third the size of Norway and the rivers and towns within 50 kms have got 13 heavy metals, massive increases in rare cancers, leukemia and other nasty diseases. The fish are all rotten and deformed. Independant scientists have carried out in depth studies to come up with the stats that this is dicing with death. But nothing can stop the machine. All the major oils companies are there and money coming in from all over the world. Politicians throw up confusing data signals to allow the extraction to go ahead year after year. One chap said that this was so crucial that one could use it as the tipping point for the future of humanity on Earth. And this is coming from Canada. Not China, not the Middle East, but the home of maple syrup.
Watch and weep, if you have the guts...
