Alberta’s Tar Sands and Idaho’s Wilderness Gateway
Unfiltered By Nick Gier, Unfiltered 5-31-10
In April of 2008, over 1,000 ducks flying over Northern Alberta took a break from their migration north and landed in what they perceived was just another lake in the area. They never took flight again, along with other 10,000 other waterfowl that year. The water in many of these lakes has been tarred and poisoned by bitumen processing.
