There were sharp words & fiery exchanges this week at a #TownHall meeting between #ImperialOil & residents of #FortChipewyan , #Alberta .
It was the #FirstTime the company met with #residents of the #community on the western shore of #LakeAthabasca since #wastewater #seepage was discovered from #TailingsPonds at Imperial Oil Ltd.'s #KearlLake# oilsands site near #FortMcMurray . Fort Chipewyan is downstream from the tailings ponds.

"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."
