Hi Trevor
We all get whitewased by propaganda at one point or other in our lives but if you have ever traveled, worked, or participated in any way with the tarsands projects you will know first hand that this is the biggest whitewashing scheme in Canada.
The EUB is deeply seated within the pocket of the oil companies who have a vested interest in seeing that these projects go forward unimpeded. The ensuing coverups or greenwashing that results from companies like Suncor trying to offset their eco-footprint across this land with pictures of windmills is insulting to anyone who has seen the truth. The amount of water and gas that is used to obtain the bitumen and then process it for the upgraders located in the US is astronomical and is not sustainable given the rapidly reduced gas fields and the loss of our watersheds. Do your homework and then let's talk.

Oh, one more thing - every politician in this province knows the truth of the health investigations conducted in Fort Chipewyan but it is not a popular subject to be aired in the media.
