And the much maligned hunter who supports duck unlimited is ignored and discriminated against. This was an instance of just bad luck. Weather impared the "bangers" and no overt negligence or deliberate act was involved.
This is just another oportunity for the anti-social elements, using environment to destroy our society.
Oil has been seeping into the Athabaska river, contaminating waterfowl,for milenia.
Genuine effort has been made to prevent this sort of thing. The existance of the bangers is evidence of this. But then the alarmists need something to whine about.
The premier made a good point about the wind turbines but that is a GREEN thing and above reproach......like clearing rain forest to grow biofuels.

Well, the PM did a better job of responding than Ed Stelmach did. Ed tried to deflect attention to the '30,000' deaths caused by wind turbines...

Suttle hint of sarcasm from a talk billboard for the Canadian oil industry.
Would anyone on this forum expect anything less from people who are filled with so much greed they would sell off their own grandmother to big oil if they thought they could make a dollar in the process.
To bad Canada isn't taking a more proactive balance and using the money from the oil sands to fund projects to find more and affordable ways to kick the "big oil" habit. (alternative energy resources)

Do you see my sig?? I am where my sig says. If I am in Alberta, it will show Calgary, if I am in Texas, it will show Dallas.
I fly back and forth on a bi-monthly basis, I guess I didn't leave Alberta as I still have a home here too.. fucktard.
Research "Savanna Energy" mtbr. Later, buddy.

Socialism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone
is dead on! Those 500 ducks can easily be explained away, because that oil is "for the greatest good for everyone". I doubt though, that Stelmach would like being labelled a "socialist"........
samsquanch just took a quotation from Keynes about capitalism and changed it to socialism - it doesn't even make sense, but he's not clever enough to come up with anything else.

That being said, the Keynes quote about capitalism doesn't make much sense either.

Good thing this didnt make the news.
Shit happens,mostly when the guys see it they do the best they can to fix it.
So if everyone wants to try and focus on Alberta as an environmentally unfriendly province I will post hundreds of pics of people doing good things here for the environment and wildlife,people in the patch,mining,construction,pipeline,people risking their lives for the wildlife.
Lets see how the other provinces stack up against our strict enviro regs and due diligence and still get things done.
Alberta,the province the rest of Canada loves to hate,were used to it.

Hold on...
If they didn't build that trench to begin with, it seems to me the poor moose would not be stuck..
So in short the influence of man, no matter where or what Province is damaging to the environment. Right Ziggy
I mean we can not always be there to save the animals from mankinds industrial foot print 24/7.
Nice pic..

Delicate vegetation means no tire tracks so this is what we use in Alberta,I wonder what other provinces do this? Non that I have worked in other then here.
