$5,000 is embarrassingly low
Sigh

That’s like .05 cents to them. $slaughter and pay a little bit…worse than mafia.

That measly amount is nothing to Suncor.

Not even gaslighting, just outright lying.
The Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation and Premier Danielle Smith gaslight an audience of more than 200 in Okotoks, Alberta. Presenting their Rube Goldberg “decarbonization” machine to address a problem they don’t believe in with their fake solutions of carbon capture and storage, direct air capture, and new Canadian pipelines to markets that do not exist.

Did you know when scientists first warned congress about climate change, the oil industry started paying scientists and lobbyists to lie and say it wasn’t true in order to confuse the public. It worked.

This update on the Texas flooding has been mostly about kissing Trump‘s ass, praising Trump. As usual it’s sycophants making it all about trump. The poor people that are lost and dead become secondary to praising the cult leader. Oh, and they love bashing other states.Adolf Orange is Nazi Smith’s new bestie, and like an obedient vulgar MAGAt, she loves bashing others too, for her failures
Suncor fined after protected bird nests were buried at Alberta tarsands oilsands mine, Company says cyberattack left its wildlife monitoring spreadsheet inaccessible Liar Liar liar? by CBC News, Jul 04, 2025
Oilsands giant Suncor has been fined $5,000 for burying known habitat for bank swallows during mining operations in northern Alberta three years ago.
The Calgary-based company was issued the penalty by the Alberta Energy Regulator last week for an incident near Fort McMurray in June 2023.
The regulator fined the company for failing to ensure that critical bird habitat was protected from ground excavation operations at the mining site.
According to the investigation, material was placed over a bank known to be used by bank swallows as a nesting site, likely killing or injuring the birds and destroying their nests.
The company failed to complete a required wildlife sweep of the site before the bank was buried, the investigation found. A 100-metre buffer that should have been maintained around the nests, a requirement under federal environmental laws, was not enforced, the AER ruled.No worries, Nazi Smith will yell at Carney for abusing her lovers in Alberta’s pollution patch, and demand all federal environmental laws are rescinded, and Harper-Con Carney (not a liberal) will cave, like he does for the USA Nazis
“There is no direct evidence of destroyed nests or dead bank swallows,” Candace MacDonald, a director of field operations for AER, wrote in her penalty decision against the operator.What are you fucking talking about??!! The swallows’ nesting habitat was intentionally destroyed, that’s direct evidence FFS. AER says this on purpose to give the murderers what they need to appeal, and win their appeal. Fucking AER staff all belong in prison for crimes against life
“However, the potential for the bank swallows to have become injured or killed and nests destroyed by the disturbance in these circumstances is highly probable.” Douche fucking inhuman AER
- More than 30 birds found dead at Suncor oilsands tailings ponds sites
- Oilsands producer fined for not stopping birds from nesting on tailings pond island
Alberta’s oilsands industry has faced scrutiny and investigations for a string of bird death incidents.
Suncor, among the largest operators in the oilpatch, has a history of such infractions.
In 2017, 123 birds were reported dead at the company’s Fort Hills oilsands project. More recently, in May 2023, more than 30 birds, including sensitive waterfowl species, were found dead at Suncor’s tailings ponds sites in northwestern Alberta.But surely, these deaths were all acts of God, not murdering Suncor’s fault. Right? Right?!
- Dozens of birds dead after landing in Kearl oilsands site tailings ponds in Alberta
- Scrubbed birds ready to take flight after touching down on Alberta oilsands tailings pond
In the investigation of the incident involving bank swallows, Suncor told the regulator that they could not be certain whether the nests were active or not when the bank was buried.Wanna bet the company fucking knew!? Best way to not have to protect a listed species while raping the earth for billions in profits, is to destroy that species’ habitat. In my view, it’s fucking intentional. I bet the worker(s) that did the destroying got a nice big fat bonus and a lovely paid vacation for two.
The only way to find out would be to dig up the area, which the regulator determined would likely cause more harm to the already damaged habitat.And, wanna bet AER coached the fucking murderers how to destroy and get away with it?
Cyberattack blamed
CBC News sought comment from Suncor on the penalty but did not receive a response. During the course of the AER investigation, company officials blamed the incident on a cyberattack that left its wildlife monitoring systems inaccessible. FFS! Cowardly murderers in the tarsands that refuse to apologize and take responsibility for their crimes are the worst.
Documents show the penalty for the infraction was elevated because of Suncor’s lack of due diligence following the cyberattack and the bird’s fragile conservation status. Wow! So double kisses from AER?
Bank swallows, which commonly nest near water and excavate burrows into the soil, are listed federally as a threatened species. Bank swallows are also protected as a migratory species under the federal Migratory Birds Convention Act.
The Alberta government has classified the species as sensitive since 2015, as losses in recent decades have left local populations vulnerable to human and industrial disturbance.
These protected statuses indicate a need for a “heightened awareness” around this species, the regulator found.But still, we let mega profit rapists destroy vital sensitive habitats for listed species, to their greed desires, and every once in a while, we kiss the odd murderer with a tiny fine, to con the very stupid greedy Nazi Alberta public into thinking we are a regulator.
“The requirement to conduct a wildlife sweep or walkthrough before conducting any land disturbance serves as a safeguard for wildlife, aiming to protect species such as bank swallows and preserve critical habitats such as their nests,” MacDonald wrote.It’s impossible for any cyber attack anywhere to prevent a tarsands company from doing a walkthrough before mass destruction of banks and sensitive nesting habitat.
“Suncor ultimately failed to identify their error and take appropriate mitigative measures.”
Suncor had a system in place to monitor wildlife but the company said the program, contained in a spreadsheet, was not available at the time of the incident because of a cyberattack.Fucking liars. It’s obvious what habitats were about to be destroyed, spreadsheet not needed~!
A backup spreadsheet to track the wildlife program had been set up but company officials told investigators that the backup document was also not available at the time of the incident due to “information technology limitations.”And, Suncor had not one human available to walk before destroying vital habitat? I call fraud, lies, and tarshit.
Suncor should have been on a heightened awareness and diligence.should, the almighty escape hatch word, used all. the. fucking. murdering. polluting. destroying. time. Assholes, all of them, the company and all staff at AER and in Danielle Smith’s NaZiP
-Alberta Energy Regulator
The regulator said the company demonstrated a lack of due diligence and failed to follow its own environmental policies.That is only worth a kiss of $5,000 dollars? Fucking lunatics. How many millions of dollars did it cost AER to “investigate” and dance around trying to come up with the sweetest kiss possible?
“With both Suncor’s wildlife sighting tracking program and backup Excel spreadsheet not being available, Suncor should have been on a heightened awareness and diligence to ensure all workgroups were aware of the bank swallow nests to mitigate the potential of this contravention occurring,” MacDonald wrote in her investigative report. She needs to be fucking fired for this gross enabling of harming a listed species.
“Even though Suncor had policies and procedures in place, these were not followed.”
- Dead wildlife found at oilsands tailings pond in northern Alberta
- CNRL was fined $278K after hundreds of birds died in a tailings pond. Now it has launched an appeal
According to the investigation, Suncor has since implemented additional measures to prevent similar incidents, including updating its wildlife protection policies to include a land disturbance checklist that will ensure mandatory sweeps are completed before potential bird habitat is disturbed by mining operations.Ya, sure. Next time, and there will be many next times ignored by tarsands rapists and AER, the checklist will have been lost in a wildfire in Montreal, you know, Trudeau’s fault.
The administrative penalty was formally issued on June 26.
Suncor has 30 days to file an appeal.I am sure the fuckers will appeal, and the tar-loving (because of their pensions invested in tarsands companies) judges will weep at how cruel the feds are to have protections for species we humans are viciously wiping off the face of the earth, slash the fine to $0 and make the feds (the Canadian public) pay the company’s legal fees.

Too few humans give a shit, they want to have fun, live happy lives and not be bothered with the horrors of our species. Pretending and hoping is easier.
