The Canadian Press has reported on data that shows contamination from coal mines is already present in Alberta rivers at levels that exceed provincial guidelines. The government has closed the monitoring stations on those waterways.
Hey, don’t you know that unmeasured = nonexistent? We’re all just infants playing peek-a-boo.
It’s scary to think how far they’re willing to let environmental devastation proceed. Merciless-but-accurate ridicule and shaming are warranted for responsible parties in both the private sector (for polluting and leaving citizens the bill) and government (for allowing this / selling out). I’d love to see more media figures (particularly comedians) consistently exposing and speaking truth to power. But I guess “power,” so to speak, owns most media. So that’s not likely to happen.
Man, Alberta could be so awesome but we’re full of dumb fuck politicians and whatnot
It could be but they’ve spent many years courting the dumbest people in the country to live there.
Oh trust me, I know
