Excellent collection of clips, but not one word about the poisoning of earth and health by hydraulic fracturing (including for bitumen) and its intentional contamination of trillions of gallons of water and permanent water removal from the hydrogeological cycle – even in water scarce jurisdictions like Alberta and Saskatchewan. (Art Berman discusses the harms frac’ing causes to itself and other wells.)
