Alberta Natives Exposed to Oilsands Toxins A few months after this was posted, Federal & Provincial Govt ordered an investigation to “find the cause”. Everyone know before oilsands processing no health issues of this severity. Edmonton SEE magazine also reported multiple oil-toxin spills over the years in nearby rivers 10July2008 - Alberta Govt announces $2,000,000,000 for Alberta CO2 emissions recovery, plus $2,000,000,000 for more buses, park&bus lots, etc. In addition to storing carbon in the soil, tress natually produce oxgen and a mature tree will filter tons of air pollutants ( Jr High School Science ). Alberta Govt fails to address oilsands pollution getting into river water & eco-systems. Extracting 175 Billion barrels of oil will use 2-3 time that amount of fresh water. Oilsands factories should be required to clean their water and recycle it - if it is not good enough now for recycling, then it certainly is not good enough to go into rivers !!. Who should pay ? Major 7 Oil companies EACH have made over $25,000,000,000/year ( over 1000 Billion = 1 Trillion dollars profit in past 5 years ) for several years, yet Alberta taxpayers are again given the bill. Oil & Gas companies still owe Alberta taxpayers over $6,000,000,000 in uncollected oil royalties - royalties based on record low prices of 100 years ago. Why did Alberta Govt give Big Oil $1,000,000,000 last month and $2,000,000,000 now? About 5 years ago, the cost of extracting oil from the oilsands was about $15/barrel - even IF cost $50/barrel now, still making massive profits with prices well over $100/barrel. Big oil should be far more environmentally sound and financially self-sufficient.
