Health Canada Tries To Silence Tarsands Whistleblower

Posted on Monday, March 05 at 13:44 by bracewell
The CBC has now obtained a more detailed version of an Alberta Health analysis on the community. It shows O'Connor was mostly right and that there are more cases than normal of liver, bile duct, colon cancer and cancers of the blood.

But the numbers are not as high as he thought, and Alberta Health said the rates are not statistically high enough to be any cause for concern.

    <b><u>Profits Before People! It's the Alberta way!</u></b> <p>I wonder how much of the profits from tar sands are accruing to the Fort Chip natives who are dying from exotic cancers, compared say, to the investment portfolios of the doctors that comprise the Alberta College of Physicians and Surgeons, not to mention the leading denizens of Calgary?</p><p>---<br>"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." <br />

    It does not take much thought to conclude that the pillaging of the tar sands area is a national disaster subsidized by the enslaved tax payer. A few criminally insane people get richer than they already are at everyone else's expense. Apparently Canadians enjoy being screwed.
