Blogging Tory "Alberta Tory" can't figure out what all that Alberta oilsands controversy is about:
Some more information the enviroterrorists don't want you to have...
Kudos to the people at Syncrude who took the time and spent the money to prove that "irreversible damage to the landscape" isn't so irreversible.
Following that link gives us the good news:
EDMONTON - The Alberta government has issued its first-ever certificate for a reclaimed oilsands site.
The 104-hectare parcel of land, known as Gateway Hill, belongs to Syncrude.
It's a tiny fraction of the 40,000 hectares that have been disturbed by the oilsands industry thus far, but the government is hailing this as an important first step in restoring land to its natural state.
All right, then ... 104 hectares out of 40,000 ... it's a start. And they even have an adorable picture to go with it:
Excellent. Next phase:
This shouldn't take long at all. And remember to wear your bicycle helmets, kids. Safety first.

I wonder if even 104/40,000th of Alberta Tory's brain damage is also reversible.
I'm guessing "not".
Gateway Hill
How nice. Sounds like the sort of name you've give a real estate development built out of gingerbread and popsicle sticks.
Gateway Hill? Well, yes I guess it is a hill now. Sadly it used to be a low, hill-less wetland before it was reclaimed.
Hardly what I call returned to its natural state.
(it's a former soil dump. I'll be much more 'enviroterrosistically' impressed when they can 'reclaim' a sludge filled toxic tailings pond the size of Prince Edward Island. Better hurry Oilberta Tory, according to actuarial averages I only have about another 22-25 years to live.)
If I'm not mistaken, they've totally ruined the fucking lawn there.
