Federal Commitee Cancelled Report Shredded On Thu July 15, 2010 5:23 PMTwo weeks ago the Canadian Federal Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development cancelled their report and destroyed all drafts. That made us paranoid, what was in that Report? Well, good news. Even though the report was shredded (and hopefully recycled) there are 300 pages of testimony on the record. Andrew Nikiforuk has read those 300 pages -- saving us from having to -- and writes today about What Those Who Killed the Tar Sands Report Don't Want You to Know"Ottawa has managed its mandate in the tar sands as irresponsibly as the U.S. Mineral Management Services oversaw the safety of deep sea drilling in the Gulf." Nikiforuk is an excellent journalist from Calgary; this article and his book TAR SANDS are highly recommended. |
