How about The Royal Harper Toxin Leaking Lakes ? Consensus is the largest of the toxic tailings pond is there. If Stevie and Joe Oliver want to taste the 'waters' or dine on the downstream fish, they should remember how fatal its been to ducks and wildlife. <br /><br />Much like the Harper Government, this pond - lake - settling basin leaks its poison. From there its on to the Athabasca River which runs right through the middle of the two tar sands projects. The earthen dam or dike, keeping it from falling directly into the river, is by volume, the largest dam in the world.<br /><br />Overall, the toxic lakes of all the tar sands projects leak approx 10 million liters of liquid contaminants daily. 25 chemicals are found in the sludge water, 14 of which are known carcinogens.<br /><br />Here's a link per 2006, Mildred Lake viewed from space - http://www.gis.unbc.ca/courses/geog432/projects/2011/nasum/index.htm - <br />An earlier image from space showed just one man made toxic lake, in 2006 there were eleven.. as of 2013 ?<br /><br />Here's a link with satellite imagery as of 1984 and 2011 - http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/damian-carrington-blog/2011/dec/06/oil-sands-tar-canada-uk-fuel - <br /><br />A footnote - the original Lake Mildred mine is almost played out and will revert to being a vast scar on the land. Canadian taxpayers will end up subsidizing its shoddy remediation. One can see the mine as a toxic moonscape horror.. and a mirror image of Stephen Harper and his government. Canadian taxpayers will end up paying for every attempt to mend democracy, heal the burns, treat the scars and redress the pollution this government inflicts daily.. on the country called Canada.<br /><br />Thank you Ms May for bluntly asking if the Ministries of Environment and Natural Resources were being combined in the Harper Government. That has already happened and the Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans were rolled in as well. The name of the new over arching Ministry ? The Ministry of Economic Freedom !<br /><br />the salamanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853337802990122289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-29696534556931916542013-01-30T04:19:54.737-08:002013-01-30T04:19:54.737-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.smartyyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15754721646717558322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-62806932441166229332013-01-29T20:30:50.759-08:002013-01-29T20:30:50.759-08:00Wonderful idea, Sal, first rate.

Stephen Harper is a demolisher.. his government and its weak morality a destructive, eroding, corrosive force.<br /><br />If true Canadians across this land are continuing to build Canada .. as a glowing, healthy, amazing, living, painted mosaic then Stephen Harper is turpentine.. paint stripper.. plus a razor blade slashed across the canvas.. <br /><br />The only thing he is building is a flawed resource centric economic shell or control room.. propped up temporarily by obstruction, secrecy, manipulation, environmental pollution and destruction.. and ideological propaganda and outright lies. <br /><br />The shell has nothing whatsoever to do with true nationhood, democracy, identity or vision. or growth The shell is only about money, politics, control, resources, Stephen Harper and .. uh .. Stephen Harper.<br /><br />Looking at all those associated with him.. do we see any builders ? Kent? Tom Flanagan? Mackay? Oliver, Preston Manning? Baird, Clemente, Fantino ? <br /><br />No .. Across the board we see weakness, smugness, incompetence, dogma, denial, dullness, deceit and a willingness to accept the role of pedantic robots, OK with being complicit in destructive and furtive legislation, cronyism, bigotry, and a bizarre addiction to all things Israel or rapture related.<br /><br />The only thing being built by this dangerous government is that protective shell to hide their sellout to big oil, big money, foreign interests and governments. But added to the building.. is a the web of lies carried out late on Fridays with the help of a willing mass media, and.. the expansion of an already accomplished & powerful vote suppression and electoral fraud machine. There's your building.. brick by brick by prorogue by prorogue.. by robo call, by live call. And yes Dean Del Mastro.. baseless smears.. but thank you for reminding us via your own baseless uh .. smears ?<br /><br />Harper et al are busy trying to extinguish First Nations treaties, destroy the self destructive Liberal Party. He wishes he could eliminate The Charter of Rights and Freedoms. He's all for trashing the marine food chain, and the boreal food chain as well as any biologist or scientist that would defend them.<br /><br />I see him as another giant tailings pond. We should be naming them you know, after MP's and Ministers. But if Harper is a giant toxic tailing pond.. visible from outer space.. he's different from the others. He's a tailings pond perched high on the banks of the Athabasca River .. and we should see him as that.. a giant pus sack.. with 1.8 billion litres of liquid toxic waste added every day. Constantly seeping poison into the river.. and an imminent threat to suddenly collapse into the river, then destroy and poison the entire watershed.the salamanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853337802990122289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-44508319054919127742013-01-29T16:54:33.584-08:002013-01-29T16:54:33.584-08:00There are no morals nor ethics left in this countr...There are no morals nor ethics left in this country. Canada is a shameful, disgraceful cesspool of corruption. <br /><br />Canada is reminding me of Communist China. Much the same ideals. No Democracy, no Civil Rights and Liberties. Freedom of Speech under attack. Human Rights being eroded. Forced into cheap labor wages, as China has. Polluting our country as China is grossly polluted. Thieving from the Canadian people to give to, the wealthiest outfits in the world. <br /><br />Harper has taken a page from China's book. The Canadian mine Eritrean was caught, using forced slave labor.<br /><br />Forcing the F.N. to contend with Harper intruding on their waterways, fish and hunting grounds, by Harper's Omnibull Bill C-45. F.N. treaties were broken. Harper can pollute F.N. territories, for the benefit of China. Harper can pollute in any province he chooses to.<br /><br />Harper is actually a traitor and, should be flung in prison. We want nothing to do with Communist China, setting up shop on our Canadian soil, what-so-ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
