This is typical of the big money oil organizations. Show the public something with a wide angle lens to make it look as though they have found another way to reclaim the land and put it back together better than it was before. I wonder how the Coal Companies managed to pull the wool over the eyes of everyone right before they started to take the tops of the great Smoky Mountains. How the hell do you undo that? Put a Golf course on it maybe? That's really reclaiming the true nature that was there. If big money and the companies that are behind them don't get stopped then kiss nature goodbye baby! They are the ones that have held the patent on a fuel that was developed using electricity and water, having a residue of only water, just so they could line their pockets with money and live the great life (on the backs of others and on the back of mother nature). Why should they care in the first place! They won't have to live through the hell this planet will turn into after their gone!

Okay so you want to shut these places down. Than where are you going to get gas for your vehicles, oil for your packaging, and so on and so forth. As well areyou going to give the men and women jobs who are working in these places. Alot of them work hours away from home, away from their families, supporting small children, and so on and so forth. Your not just screwing with the companies, you are screwing with your pay check providers lives caus eyou never give both sides of the story and you always go over board. Things can be dealt with in a lot better ways.
you are taking food out of my mouth. My husband works in Suncor, due to earning a good wage, and giveing me and our children a better life than I had when I was growing up... You will soon realize that your supports will know the truth and well yes....
You over act everything, this is nothing new. Just like the seal hunts and animal acts you have deminstrated. If you care so much maybe you would deal with things properly instead of trespassing and chaining yourselves to conveyors.... Personally I think an accident should happen. And maybe if your activists were hurt than you would see... Than again you have college students who have been miss informed doing your dirty work.... one of these days the company is just gonna ignore you being there, cuz you shouldnt be there, and accidents will happen... I know I would... I am all for saving our environment, but not this way... You make me and many other sick...

Someone needs to get into that enclosure and get blood samples from those bison. Are they supposed to be the canary in the mine? See the cage. Hear the mine owner tell you it's OK to go down?
It is no wonder that PM Harper doesn't feel the need to represent Canada's position on climate issues to the world. He's already made his views abundantly clear by condoning, and (let's come right out and say it)actively participating in, the rape of the north.
Thanks for the photos. Too many Canadians have no idea what the ravaged face of our Mother looks like these days. And now that Harper thinks he has her poisoned body suitably subdued, he doesn't even have the gonads to look her in the eye.

You write: “At this point in time there have been very few attempts at reclamation in the tar sands and no site has been certified as reclaimed by Alberta Environment.”

You are incorrect. For your future reference, more than a year ago, the Alberta government issued its first reclamation certificate to Syncrude Canada Ltd. for the 104-hectare parcel of land known as Gateway Hill approximately 35 kilometres north of Fort McMurray.

Greenpeace has incorrect information posted elsewhere on its websites as well.

Funny thing, you flew in on a plane, wow, oilsands I imagine supplied alot of the petrochemicals for that sortie. You drive in cars, shop in stores etc. So, it seems, you use the same energy sources that the rest of the world does, then protest the way the energy and items are obtained. You did not shut down a plant, you shut down a belt. One of many. An annoyance at best. You forgot to say just how big the Bison sanctuary is, not just the wee bit you photographed. Your eyes might have been burning, but step back 10 feet, AWAY from the rock dust (thats right, on the conveyor its still just dirt from the ground) and you would have been fine. You have an opinion, great. Voice it. Hence your propaganda site here. You want a change, give a viable option, AND if its so dear to you, stop using anything that might be gotten using petrochemicals. Until that point you are just a hypocrite, which is very hard to take seriously. I live in Fort McMurray and noticed you omitted alot of things, such as the constant air quality monitoring. Its online, check it out.

I think they fear my presence far more than Greenpeace. One site that was recently protested by Greenpeace has gone as far as to order a sub-contractor not to hire me in case I obtain further evidence against them. Greenpeace is all good, but they needed people on the inside that know what to look for to gather facts on spills, releases, false emissions data and so on.

Now you have blown that opportunity out of the water. Some of us that work and worked in the industry know the truth, but sensational stage shows only draw attention to Greenpeace and not the real issues caused by the poorly motivated and led employees at these sites. Not all those that work on these sites like what they see, or are ORDERED to do. But without the chance to collect what is needed Greenpeace has just blown three years of hard work.

Thanks for nothing...
