They are environmentalists

who do not know the facts.

He changed his tune

when he met

one of these environmental

Fort Chipewyan

with a copy of the report

during the election campaign.

Here is the report

Environmental Defense.

Yes, I have heard a lot about.

The government does

not to our requests,

including those concerning

cancer at home.

Stelmach said he is

in its duty to protect

prosperity of Alberta and that

will travel to Fort Chipewyan

after the elections,

if it has the support of locals.

The extraction of crude oil

oil sands is very energy intensive.

People would

shocked if they knew

how much oil the United States

import into Canada.

Obama is in Canada

for his first presidential trip.

Obama and Harper will discuss

What country

the United States imports they

most of their oil?

If you answered Saudi

Arabia, you are mistaken.

This is Canada.

We should perhaps

tone down

when we renegotiate NAFTA.

Oil Sands

operate at breakneck speed,

supported by corporate interests

for the integration of economies

and resources in North America.

The proportionality clause

NAFTA provides

This means increasing the export

The oil sands are becoming

the largest project

industrial history.

With production

that there are five-fold,

networks of oil sands

extend across the continent.

Canada remains

one of the few industrialized countries

to have kept

no power for himself.

These agreements may also

apply to the water.

The Prime Minister said that Canada

is an energy superpower.

Voice of Gordon Laxer,

Political Economy, U. Alberta

But a superpower should exercise

its influence independently.

What kind of superpower

let foreign companies

dominate its resources?

Canada sells its greatest

resource only 25 cents a barrel,

to multinationals like Exxon?

He gives up the right

to set its own prices,

to limit exports

to reduce its CO2 emissions.

What kind of superpower

ensures safety

energy of its neighbors

when she did not even plan

to meet the needs

Canadians?

We have become a

energy supplier

submitted to the United States.

This is a result of NAFTA

and clause

proportionality of NAFTA.

Canadians must ask themselves

serious questions

the consequences.

Suppose that we faced

a severe shortage

natural gas in the country.

What would happen if

we try to keep

NAFTA Meeting, 2005

part of the natural gas

part of exports

to the United States?

We would then

it is not possible.

Treaties are signed

between two nations.

My first nation

a government in itself,

on our ancestral lands.

When governments

Alberta and Canada

breaking the promise they

Mount made in this treaty

then, the treaty no longer applies.

I ask them to resume

their paper towel

and I'll take my country.

The story - before the white man

Restoration site

Observatory and buffalo

You see the earth was dug

to extract the oil sands

and they replant the trees there.

The land is restored.

So now, bison

can live, life is returning.

I see.

That's why the buffalo are here.

Yes, when they dig,

they must return the land

in the same condition it was.

This is the agreement they have

concluded with the natives.

The land can be restored.

Before the operation,

quality was poor,

because originally it contained

many hydrocarbons.

This limited land use.

Over the years,

Oil content

in the soil will be extracted.

They are right when they say that

the earth will be better than before

because oil is a

and they remove the contaminant.

So by removing the oil, it relieves

the region of a contaminant?

- Right.

- Explain to me.

The act of withdrawing from 8 to 12%

bitumen found in the sand

improves the quality of the land

because the bitumen is mixed with sand.

But if you dig 90 meters

in the soil to remove the trees,

shaving entire forests.

Do you consider this

as an improvement

the environment?

Not necessarily.

It depends on the point of view.

Remove trees is not

necessarily an improvement,

but is it that trees can

back in 50 or 60 years?

I think so.

It must be recognized

they have brought together experts

international told them,

These wetlands have

thousands of years to form.

We can not

regenerate quickly.

They know they

can not recover

these lands to their original state.

Despite this, watching TV

and there is all the propaganda.

They do not want

that the public is aware of that.

How is it

the destruction of an aquifer

does not fall under the jurisdiction

the Privacy Act

the environment?

Aaron spoke to a representative of the Ministry

of Alberta Environment.

It is a question of use

and water contamination.

We have more water

in the mountains

if these guys continue what they do.

What will we drink?

What do your kids drink?

They ask me:

"Do you drive a car?"

Yes, of course. "Do you drink water?"

It is said that the operation

sands of Athabasca

will exhaust all

water resources,

if the oil and gas is not stopped,

and you tell me that your department

can do nothing less than a

to have evidence?

There have never been proven!

What am I supposed to do?

You too. Goodbye.

He says he manages

criminal cases.

It was the pits.

- The Ministry of the Environment?

- From Alberta, yes.

Because of agreements

international trade

it is difficult for

citizens to oppose

to resource extraction

at national level.

Representatives from Fort Chip

are turning to international markets.

We will make a presentation

Oil Sands.

This is a special session

dedicated to the delegation

Fort Chipewyan on the subject.

Are you nervous?

- No.

- Liar.

Are you kidding!

When I returned from Canada,

I was completely

I travel around the world,

in indigenous territories

of developing countries

related to mining.

But I went to the sands

sands and sites there.

This is the situation

the worst I've seen.

A developed country

such as Canada,

boasting its policy

on Human Rights,

allow such things!

Mordor is alive and thriving

in northern Canada.

Desolation, destruction,

water contamination.

These are very serious problems.

What happens here is the recipe

for destruction

Total country.

The thirst for oil

thirst for energy,

and greed of shareholders.
