"The Oilsands Alliance originally promised to capture 68 megatonnes of emissions each year — the largest #carboncapture project in the world. Now that number has dropped to 16". It was always a myth. Carbon capture is the #CarneyCons euphemism for 'green' #tarsands #oil!!!! Pure BS! Just more #fossilfuelsubsidies!!! https://thenarwhal.ca/oilsands-pathways-emissions-promise/?mc_cid=6c49f3ae6d&mc_eid=1690475e4c

They Are Dying. And #Canada Is Watching.
#Mikisew #Cree’s own health study confirms what the community has always known: the #OilSands are killing them. If governments and industry don’t act, they say they will shut it all down.
by Brandi Morin
Apr 13, 2026Excerpt: "The findings confirmed what this community has carried in their grief, in their graveyards, for generations: cancer rates in Fort Chipewyan are at least 25 percent higher than the rest of Alberta. Since 1993, there have been 149 documented cases — and that number, Tuccaro says, is a gross underestimate. People who leave the community for treatment are no longer counted in local statistics. Factor those in, and the real number for Mikisew Cree members alone, he estimates, is closer to 250 to 300."

For #Indigenous communities in ‘#Alberta,’ the #OilIndustry has left an ugly stain
Facing #OilSpills, evacuations and #illness — nations downstream of the #OilSands grieve their way of life, as the #corporations polluting their water get richer
By Brandi Morin, December 7, 2023
Excerpt: "The rush of the wind and sprays of water add to the thrill as Jason Castor guides his riverboat through a stretch of #LakeAthabasca near #FortChipewyan, in #Treaty8 territories. If he slows down, his boat could get stuck in the mud or even flip over because the water levels in this spot are remarkably low. He steers around buoys, dodges logs and other debris while accelerating to the mouth of the channel, which he knows should be deep enough to navigate at an average speed.
"While trawling his boat further down the river, Castor points to odd-looking clusters resembling dirty foam floating by.
" 'There’s just a slurry of a foam that looks like #oil or some kind of #chemical in there,' says Castor, a 42-year-old father, construction business owner and member of the #AthabascaChipewyan #FirstNation (#ACFN).
"He’s been a traditional hunter, trapper and fisherman for nearly 20 years and has documented strange changes in the water, the land and animals.
"Something’s going on in the river, he says.
" 'They say that it’s natural, well, I know that that’s not natural because I’ve been on the river my whole life,' he explains as he points to brown and #WhiteFoam, #OilSheens and other discoloured formations floating on the river.
"Nowadays, it’s risky to navigate these waterways because of industrial intakes like the #WACBennettDam to the west in B.C.; the #AlbertaOilSands just up the river and impacts from #ClimateChange.
"The #PeaceAthabascaDelta is the second-largest #freshwater delta in the world.
"The #AthabascaRiver, and the larger delta, also sit atop the world’s largest known reservoir of #CrudeBitumen.
"The industry that has sprung up around it drives Alberta’s and Canada’s economy, employing about 138,000 people. In 2021, crude bitumen production totaled approximately 3.3 million barrels per day. The oil sands energy sector including oil sands, conventional #OilAndGas, mining and quarrying is valued at about $18 billion.
"But while Canada prospers off the oil sands industry, #Indigenous communities downstream are dealing with its #toxic impacts.
"Not only are the water levels fluctuating, but the health of the water flowing through the Athabasca River is jeopardized."

RE: https://mastodon.online/@quiosque/116361660887019828
Shale oil is very profitable again and it's likely that even heavy, dirty, #Venezuelan oil extraction and refining is profitable with Brent Crude priced this high.
Distraction from the #EpsteinFiles is a coincidental bonus and absolutely *NOT* a primary reason we're attacking Iran.

We have very few truly Canadian owned oil companies. The big winners in the Canadian oil industry will be the USMost Canadians think we own a good portion of the oil sands through
Imperial Oil but here is the breakdown :
Exxon 🇺🇸 69.6%, First Eagle Investment Management LLC 🇺🇸 3.85%, Fidelity Management & Research Co. LLC 🇺🇸11.62 %, Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Co. 🇺🇸 1.378 %, Merrill Lynch International 🇺🇸 , and two other US companies, plus
👉 Canadian companies : Royal Trust Corporation of Canada 1.444%, TD Waterhouse Private Investment Counsel, Inc. Less than 1% , Fidelity Investments Canada ULC less than 0.5 %
https://ca.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/IMPERIAL-OIL-LIMITED-1410448/company-shareholders/Other companies involved are:
Suncor is mostly US owned https://ca.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/SUNCOR-ENERGY-INC-1411810/company-shareholders/

AB-Ottawa MOU. One less suitor for a pipeline from #tarsands through B.C.
🛢️Enbridge CEO says: The company is unwilling to take on the financial risk of developing a new oil pipeline from Alberta to Canada’s west coast... his company has no intention of floating such a project.
https://archive.ph/K75xM#selection-2673.160-2673.217
🛢️"Enbridge has started a major pipeline expansion project to increase crude oil transportation from Canada and the U.S. Midwest to the Gulf of Mexico."

Just curious how long Canada’s Tar Sands are going to last against the US theft of Venezuela’s heavy oil. I suspect the US will simply use the stolen oil to replace imported heavy oil from Canada. Ideas?
