Dude! Getting your panties all inna knot is just gonna squeeze yer nuts. You've cleaned up 1% of the mess, Whoopy Ding! and you expect everybody to to stop raggin' about the mess. People have been yelling for decades and all of a sudden, something is being done. Big deal! If people stopped raggin' the cleanup would stop too. Don't kid yourself, big oil don't give a flying F about the environment. What little they do is because they are forced to.
so now somethings being done and your mad because you will lose your ability to keep spouting hatred and ignorance?
Looks like were doing allright then,you will only look more foolish in the coming years.Big oil does give a flying fuc*,they have millions to spend and arent shy on spending it to make you look ignorant and a fool,just watch.They dont blink an eye on putting out millions and I mean millions of dollars on cleaning up the tailings ponds,just watch next year.
Looks like another Hungarian type sludge lake is brewing there. Now is the time to correct the problem before a major environmental disaster occurs.

No comparison at all here,move along,move along,nothing to see here.
It's not only ducks.
The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy (FOIP) request was filed by independent scientist Kevin Timoney and sought material from Alberta Sustainable Resource Development (SRD). The disclosed SRD information covers only three oil companies and shows reported deaths of 27 black bears, 67 deer, 31 red fox, 21 coyote, as well as moose, muskrats, beavers, voles, martens, wolves, and bats.
Got some dates or timelines on this?
Any wildlife the past 2 years?
I'll wait for your post on the timelines before commenting further on this part.
The number of birds in this kill off is nothing, but this lake is 22 square kilometers of toxic sludge and is not the only one. There are many more. The wildlife and environment cannot sustain that sort of degradation for long. Even the apologists will not be able to deny the effects these are having of the environment and weather patterns forever.
Ya right,its affecting the weather patterns,give your head a shake man.If it's so toxic then why am I and others allowed to work in these tailings?
Are you more worried about a few birds then humans?
I don't think many people know how dirty they are, plus the amount of fresh water is required to get the oil out.
The water used in extraction is the same water on the top of the tailings ponds,it's recycled.
I know how dirty they are,I work right in them and I mean right in them,up to 3 meters of tailings at any given time along with many other folks.Please read my posts about tailings ponds in some of the earlier topics if you truly want to be informed.
I don't think the rest of Canada knows what an ugly monster the tar sands are.
500,000 tons of non recyclable waste is pumped out by Syncrude every day.
How can the ducks miss a 22 square kilometer toxic lake?

Yawn,more propaganda.
All of Alberta would be covered by this in a few years if this was true.
Sorry but I cant do pdf's and tend to rely on info as I see it in the flesh anyways,too many liars and bull****ters out there with an agenda that have no clue.
