The Oil Industry works just like the aftermath of Katrina. Once the land has been spoiled after a spill, the only gains will be to industry.
Northern Canada and the treaty lands of the Indigenous Peoples are replete with gold, minerals, copper and are being eyed by industry to encroach upon the territories. So far, the native peoples have stood strong against pollution to their lands. But slowly, as with the Athabasca tar sands, the rivers are becoming worse. Eventually, no one will want to live there, just as in New Orleans. This video shows the slow creep of oil in the Gulf.
Is this what you want for Lake Louise? The MacKenzie river?
