“Stelmach faced growing rural hostility to the effect of #oilsands operations on roads, services, environment and rural quality of life.
But there was no #moratorium when the problem was #oilandgas .
Now we have the strangest one possible, in large measure because it doesn’t hit the sacred sector.”
And there’s the rub.

"The #PathwaysAlliance is a coalition of six of Canada’s largest #OilSands producers: CNRL, Cenovus, ConocoPhillips, Imperial, MEG and Suncor. Their stated goal as per their website is reducing annual oil sands emissions to #NetZero by 2050"

Love that the CBC saved this for the last paragraph. Huge, nearly double, earnings but lets layoff 1500 people after the Alberta election. (Imagine the hue and cry if the NDP had won)
“In February, Suncor announced it earned $2.74 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022, a 76-per-cent increase from the $1.55 billion it earned in the same three months of 2021.”

Reviewing EU 🇪🇺 #greenwashing, regulators found one bank portrayed investment in an airport as “environmentally sustainable.” Another described financing a firm building an #oilsands pipeline facing opposition from indigenous people as “sustainability linked” https://www.ft.com/content/5d236244-e073-412d-b981-0d2757f60b4b
Oilsands lobby group spent $1.6 million to sway the Alberta election. The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) ran ads and campaigns to promote pro-oil candidates and policies. This could undermine democracy and environmental protection in the province.
#GHGemissions associated with #logging & #WoodUse were approximately 75 megatonnes in 2020, matching #emissions from all of #Canada ’s #oilsands operations, & making logging one of the #HighestEmitting sectors of Canada’s economy.

I've #JustRead “Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands,” which won #CanadaReads2023.
Kate Beaton’s #GraphicMemoir sketches homesickness, sexism, danger – & occasional beauty – in the hellscape that is the #OilSands.
One lovely vignette occurs when she explains that Maritimers have long had to leave home to work elsewhere (a loss that defines their music & literature), & we see that she is reading “No Great Mischief” by the wonderful Alistair MacLeod.

‘We are probably going to be the first oil sands environmental refugees’
For nearly a year, according to reports by the Alberta Energy Regulator [AER], water contaminated with dangerous levels of arsenic, dissolved metals and hydrocarbons from the Kearl tailings pond have been seeping into nearby Crown land and concerns about seepage into lakes and streams where people fish and hunt. https://www.aptnnews.ca/national-news/we-are-probably-going-to-be-the-first-oil-sands-environmental-refugees/ #oilsands #Indigenous #fossilfuels

Making environmental refugees of indigenous people in Canada... You know ... one of the richest countries in the world, with a relatively small population to support and still we just make it easier to make a profit and harder for ordinary people in every day in every way. And even worse for black and Indigenous folk!

The largest recorded earthquake in Alberta's history was not a natural event, but most likely caused by disposal of oilsands wastewater, new research has concluded. Disposal like this as well as CO2 sequestration deep underground has always been a con job-hiding it instead of reducing it. #ClimateChange #oilsands #pollution #canada #cdnpoli #saskatchewan #skpoli

The “let’s clear the air” 'campaign acknowledges #ClimateChange, but claims that #PathwaysAlliance is “part of the solution.” #untrue — #oil produced from #Canada #OilSands is actually some of the most #environmentally #damaging and #energy #intensive on the #planet .
Catherine McKenna, Canada’s former minister of #environment & climate change & currently Chair of the #UnitedNations #HighLevel #Expert Group, has added her name to #Greenpeace Canada’s #complaint .

"Some accuse the #FederalGovernment of abandoning the province. Others point to what they call a captive provincial regulator. All agree that there’s no way leaks from #ImperialOil ’s #Kearl #TailingsPonds should have gone #unreported for nine months to both #Ottawa & #Edmonton , as well as the people who live near it."
