:facepalm:
that is... terrible. What's worse is that while hopefully most people will realise the obvious agenda, some people might not :(

Oh and here is another interesting statement that gets dismissed in corporate media:

Quote:

"Despite the conclusions within this report, the truth is that how these tar sands are affecting local people and their traditional lands can only be described as deadly. There has been a clear lack of participation by our Elders and knowledge holders in the review of tar sands impacts, undermining an honest and holistic assessment of what is really going on in this region," asserted Alice Martin, fElder. "What is terrible is that this report suggests that the Indigenous people who have the traditional knowledge, the people of the land, do not know what they are talking about when it comes to the environmental and health impacts in there community! It is evident that the ugly truth about the tar sands is not what the government wants to hear, because it will impact the economy in a negative way, but the question is how will this lack of truth impact the people who have lived for generations on this land?"
INDIGENOUS ENVIRONMENTAL NETWORK | Royal Society Report on Tar Sands ignores Traditional Knowledge

Remember the Cree from way back? "Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realise we cannot eat money"

But I'm sure the oil companies will pay for some shantytown for them to live in and give them adequately paying jobs in cleaning their refineries.

I am going to puke...
