- please forward widely-
Let Rex Murphy know what you think of the tar sands!
Rex Murphy's Cross Country Checkup is heading to Fort McMurray, Alberta to do a live radio segment on "What is the role of the oilsands in Canada's future?" and we want you to phone in and let the country know what you think! Also, if you are in the Fort McMurray area, do consider attending the session as admission is free!
The show's description addresses the environmental degradation and threat that the tar sands pose to combating climate change. It also raises the "energy superpower" feel-good messaging of the government and industry. Worse, the description repeats the myth that Alberta's tar sands is the economic engine of Canada, powering us through a recession. It asks about finding a balance between economic interests and environmental interests.
But where is the mention of Treaty rights and impacts on First Nations peoples? What about the mess industry is leaving Albertan's? What about cumulative impacts? What about the questionable approvals process? What about the recent study regarding the failed reclamation efforts? What about the Caribou recovery strategy? What about the impacts on water?
If you want to join in on the conversation, mark your calendars and consider attending or phoning in!
When: Sunday March 18, 2012 - Live 2 pm to 4 pm Mountain Time
Where: Main Concourse at The Suncor Community Leisure Centre, MacDonald Island Park
Tune in at CBC Radio One 99.3 FM (Sirius 159) (CBXN-FM Edmonton) to follow the discussion and call 1-888-416-8333 to have your say!
