@Songstress28 excellent doc! beautifully shot too. Have you seen a recent article explaining how one tarsands operator says it can build an underground wall to prevent it's tailings pond(s?) from leaking into Athabasca River? bloody absurd. the vastness of contamination is unfathomable

@Songstress28 I really enjoy how people think big corporations are the ones doing all the harm and never think, they can only do this because all governments and all parties don't prosecute them. Also see SNC Lavalin.

Hi My Name is: Stanley2 years ago

Factual Correction. The process of extraction is the cause of pollution. “Oil sand is a naturally occurring petrochemical that can be upgraded into crude oil and other petroleum products. At room temperature it is a grainy version of cold molasses. Tar is synthetically produced from coal, wood, petroleum or peat through destructive distillation.” You dumb down the fight against pollution and environmental catastrophe when you don’t educate yourself before you post. It’s important to be factually accurate

@Songstress28 It's going to take more than legal action against these corporations to stop them. They love when small fines are levied. They love enjoying their freedom afterward.

@Songstress28 The people who support the Tarsands know and also know what will happen to the West Coast but chose to hand their heads and not give a F_! Personally I would support a law that says if you support the Tarsands you may not come and holiday in BC before you destroy it.

@Songstress28 They knew this was happening. Is this the Keystone Pipeline continuum, or a cousin to the KXL (can’t see in full)? Am beyond SICK of these GREEDY PHUCKERS destroying everything.

NEW SHORT DOC COMING SOON! Fort Chipewyan, Alberta- While Canada prospers off the oil sands industry, Indigenous communities downstream are dealing with its toxic impacts. In February, Indigenous communities downstream from Imperial Oil’s Kearl Mine, roughly 75 kilometres upstream of Fort Chipewyan, learned of a massive spill of 5.3 million litres from the mine’s tailings area. The tailings water exceeded federal and provincial guidelines for arsenic, sulphates, and hydrocarbons that may include kerosene, creosote, and diesel. This leak, named one of the largest releases of tailings in Alberta’s history, contained toxic levels of contaminants, including naphthenic acids and arsenic. And the affected Indigenous communities weren’t initially told about the toxic spills by Imperial Oil or the AER… The oil sands have been wreaking havoc on the lands/water and the people of nearby territories for decades. But their concerns about pollution they believed are linked to high rates of cancer and disease, have been largely ignored. Until now. Watch for our documentary coming soon!

This is what makes Alberta go round-oil, that is- black tar. Imagine, this video shows just a portion of the massive Alberta oil sands operations that feed the economy, profits governments & heavily lines the pockets of the corporate elite. This is known as Tar Island, Syncrude’s base plant. Operates 24/7 & produces 300,000 barrels of oil per day. The earth is ravaged here. And industry releases massive GHG emissions & pollution; has extensive environmental impacts such as creating over 1 trillion litres of toxic tailings ponds. The tailings have been leaking into nearby water sources for years. While industry officials profit, Indigenous communities downstream pay the price of the destructive effects with their livelihoods.

🇨🇦🦅💩🚰 : The 2013 Safe Drinking Water Act was not fully implemented because First Nations leaders rejected it. First Nations opposed the Act because it would have imposed clean drinking water standards deemed too high by First Nation leadership, due to a lack of Federal supports. First Nations communities have been getting huge sums of cash from the government, for often very small populated communities. This is on top of numerous indigenous partnership contracts. Yet thanks to the Liberal government, in power since 2015, there is no requirement for FN leaders to account for how the money is spent. Nice eh?

BREAKING 🚨 Tension has escalated sharply after outraged indigenous locals entered an illegally built Mosque 🕌 in Naharlagun of Arunachal Pradesh and found a disturbing sight — water flowing freely from multiple taps, unlimited and unchecked. This in the same foothill area where native families are forced to ration every drop, where many homes don’t receive enough PHED water even for drinking and cooking. When the rightful citizens of Arunachal Pradesh struggle for basic water, but an illegal Mosque 🕌 built by Bangladeshi enjoys unrestricted supply, questions aren’t just being asked — they’re exploding. People now want accountability, transparency, and a clear explanation of how such glaring discrimination has been allowed to exist in a restricted tribal state where ILP (Inner Land Permit) is required by rest of Indians to visit and do Business. cc Pema Khandu པདྨ་མཁའ་འགྲོ་། Jagat Prakash Nadda Kiren Rijiju

POLL: Nearly half of First Nations voters in Alberta back independence A poll commissioned by @ActForAlberta found 46% of First Nations respondents said they'd vote to leave Canada in a referendum on independence. Sheila Gunn Reid shares details from a poll commissioned by Act For Alberta, which found 46% of First Nations respondents would support independence if a referendum were held on the matter. For months, we’ve been told Alberta independence is fringe. That Indigenous people oppose it. That claim is doing a lot of work right now, especially in court. And then this lands: Nearly half of indigenous voters support independence. Someone tell the activist chiefs — the narrative just blew apart. According to exclusive polling commissioned by Act For Alberta, and full disclosure, I’m the listed contact for that third-party advertiser, 46% of First Nations respondents say they would vote to leave Canada. Nearly half. That's higher than support in the general Alberta population, which sits at one in three. That alone should force a rethink. Now layer this on top: 301,000 signatures, collected by 7,000 volunteers. In a long, bitterly cold Alberta winter. And what happens next? They don’t get verified. Not counted. Not certified. They're stopped, wrapped in evidence tape like some crime scene because a judge has issued a stay blocking the validation process while a legal challenge from First Nations groups plays out. So, line this up. Nearly half of First Nations respondents are open to independence. But activist chiefs claiming to speak for all Indigenous Albertans want to protect the failing federalist status quo, not just for their people, but for all of us. Hundreds of thousands of Albertans signed a petition to at least ask the question. And the activist chiefs involved in the lawsuit are asking the court to freeze the process before it reaches a result. That’s the moment we’re in. A political question with massive public engagement, halted before it could be measured. There’s a gap here. Between what’s being argued in court by gatekeepers and what people are actually saying when you ask them directly. And it is not a small gap. Indigenous communities are not one voice. Albertans are not one voice. That is the whole point of a vote. Everyone gets their say on referendum day. So, here’s the question that does not go away: if the answer is so obvious, why not let the process finish? Why not count the signatures and drop the lawsuit? Why not let people speak? Because once it becomes one person, one vote, the outcome is not controlled anymore, and the narrative is shattered for good.

The biggest injustice in Canada: The corrupt Liberal industrial complex that takes your taxpayer funds, And allocates it to lawyers, consultants & fake Indigenous businesses rather than helping First Nations people themselves. If you didn’t know, it was the Conservatives that formally apologized for residential schools. Liberals, on the other hand, while Chrétien was the Minister of Indigenous Affairs, knew there was a problem. He could have taken action & didn’t. The Conservatives, under Harper & while Poilievre was a part of the administration, went on to implement the First Nations Financial Transparency Act. The Liberals, under Trudeau, stopped enforcing it. Carney still won’t enforce it. Fast forward to today, nearly 40% of First Nations Bands are non-compliant with reporting. Please note: These are the Chiefs & those in charge, and not the individual First Nations themselves. It got so bad that an individual of a First Nations band, had to sue in order to get the financial information that should’ve been provided by the transparency act in the first place. And now, it turns out that from 2020 to 2025, nearly 2000 businesses were removed from the indigenous directory that allows them to have access to federal contracts. These businesses were awarded nearly $300 million. As an example, did you know that in Alberta, the life expectancy of a First Nations individual is nearly 20 years less than a non-indigenous person. It’s similar across Canada: the life expectancy of First Nations is significantly lower than non-Indigenous people AND CONTINUES TO DECLINE. The Liberals created an industrial complex, where the beneficiaries are everyone except for the First Nations individuals themselves. We are now at nearly $32 billion per year in funding indigenous related services & initiatives. The questions we have to ask is: -Where is the money going? -If we don’t have transparency, then how can we ensure it’s going to those in need? -Why don’t the Liberals enforce the financial transparency act? -And why, after nearly a quarter of $1 trillion spent on Indigenous related matters, is their life expectancy going down? A true nation-building project, would be helping and uplifting First Nations and that starts with transparency and accountability. The Liberals have shown they are interested in an industrial complex that creates dependency, early death & corruption. It makes zero sense. It’s insane.

Missing 5 year old NT girl Sharon Granites has been found dead after being abducted by an Aboriginal man that had just been released from jail. This is Sharon’s heartbroken Grandmother 💔 The Government spends BILLIONS of OUR money every year & none of it gets to remote communities. Nothing Labor has done has improved the lives of Aboriginal people in remote areas. Some areas don’t even have clean drinking water. These communities are literal hell for those living there. Labor does NOT care about Indigenous people, they just use them for their own self interests & for political gain. R.I.P Sharon 🤍 I’m sorry we failed you 😔

Meet Mahalingappa Itnal, a farmer from Karnataka who just changed the game.🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽 For centuries, jaggery (gur) has been made almost exclusively from sugarcane, a crop that takes nearly a full year to grow and demands huge amounts of water. But Mahalingappa stood in his corn fields and asked a question so simple it had been overlooked for generations: “Why are we throwing away the stalks?” Corn stalks are usually treated as waste and burned, discarded, or left to rot after the harvest. Mahalingappa saw potential instead of waste. Through experimentation and persistence, he figured out how to extract juice from corn stalks and convert it into jaggery. The result? A nutritious, natural sweetener made from a crop that matures in just 90–120 days. This single insight quietly disrupts an entire system. Corn requires far less water than sugarcane, grows faster, and is already cultivated widely across India. Farmers can now earn additional income from what was once agricultural waste, without waiting a full year for returns. Less water stress. Less burning of crop residue. More resilience for small farmers. What makes this even more powerful is that the solution didn’t come from a lab, a multinational, or a billion dollar agri-tech firm. It came from lived knowledge, observation, and indigenous innovation , something Indian farmers have always had, but are rarely credited for. Time and again, traditional wisdom and grassroots innovation were dismissed as “unscientific” or “backward.” Only later does modern science arrive to validate what farmers already knew instinctively: that nature wastes nothing, and sustainability lies in working with the land, not extracting from it. Mahalingappa Itnal didn’t just make jaggery from corn stalks. He redefined waste, challenged monoculture thinking, and reminded us that some of the most powerful innovations grow quietly in our fields. Yes, corn stalk jaggery is more nutritional, not by hype, but by chemistry and biology. This is the future of agriculture. It’s local, regenerative, farmer-led.

Federal Indigenous spending tripled from ~$11B in 2015 to over $32B annually by 2025. Since 2014, nearly a quarter of a TRILLION dollars has been spent on Indigenous priorities. $243 Billion. Since the Liberals PAUSED First Nations Financial Transparency Act enforcement in 2015, there have been no penalties for non-disclosure. Some First Nations have never filed or submitted an audit, others haven’t in over a decade. Meanwhile, First Nations life expectancy plummeted. In BC: it dropped 7.1 years (2015-2021), in Alberta, it’s down 7 years since 2015; now 19-year gap vs non-Indigenous. The opioid crisis hit reserves hardest, reversing prior gains. We have tens of billions poured in, accountability paused and yet outcomes are worse. In addition to all of this spending, we are allowing major land claims, to which most of BC is subject to. ALL OF KAMLOOPS, is under a land claim. The courts allow for oral evidence to be submitted without any other proof. And oral evidence is equally weighted as physical evidence based on historical claims from ancestors. And despite millions spent looking for mass graves, not a single one has been found, but when this is raised, Chiefs call for the resignation of politicians. Canadians deserve truth, transparency and accountability. We also deserve to not lose title to our homes and this era of secrecy, land claims and countless tens of billions of tax dollars going to a particular race for land claims based on oral testimony because, ancestor’s used to hunt and fish there. It all needs to end. It’s not sustainable.

The Godfather of Indigenous Banking and Entrepreneurship in Zimbabwe. Nicholas Vingirai is brilliant in every possible way and helped many Black entrepreneurs in Zimbabwe and across Africa. He is a legend and his story needs to be heard by every Zimbabwean. It is a classic case of just how extraordinary Zimbabwean talent was and how other nations often get the very best of us while, in our own country, some of the most talented entrepreneurs were stopped dead in their tracks. I went to Nigeria after its banking crisis of 2007 and marvelled at how they retained and rejuvenated their local banks, the same banks that are now spread across the continent. Yet Zimbabwean bankers were far ahead of their time. Were it not for the glitch that reversed everything, who knows where our great indigenous banks would be today? Nigeria learnt from its earlier mistakes of targeting entrepreneurs in the early 1990s and today it has a much better appreciation of what Black entrepreneurs can do. Mawere is gone, Strive remains in exile and Zimbabwe has still not fully defined, or given permission for, entrepreneurs to thrive again as they did in the 1990s before the abrupt stop in 2004.

The irony is that what the Ghanaians are protesting about is not 10% of the same environmental catastrophe that is happening in Nigeria (illegal surface mining). I just screen recorded the path of the Niger River from Google Earth. Notice how it starts off clear in Niger Republic, then starts to yellow after it enters Nigeria, then becomes sand brown once it gets to Kainji (major illegal mining hub), then gets silted up to the point of having multiple sand islands between Lokoja and Onitsha. Look at the same comparison of the Benue River and how it is clear in Cameroon, then turns brown once it flows into Nigeria and passes through the multiple illegal mining areas in Nigeria's northeast. What you are looking at is a live map from space showing how over 70 million Nigerians whose water, food or livelihood come from these rivers and their surrounding water tables are being poisoned by lead, arsenic and other toxic runoff materials from illegal mining. What you are also looking at is a map that shows the riverbeds of Nigeria's 2 inland water lifelines silting up and becoming shallower, leading to dam failure and flooding in the surrounding estuaries - something that the idiots in Abuja are paid $1,000 by foreign NGOs to misreport as "Climate Change" by the same interests benefitting from unregistered mining of all kinds going on in Nigeria. What you are also looking at is a map that shows how the yellow or brown spots in the rivers' course through the North and Middle Belt match remarkably well with spots where genocidal incidents that drove communities off their land permanently were recorded. Anyway since I'm now Comrade Hundeyinovich of the Russian FSB, Twitter will ensure that only about 9 people see this so...

Notice how it starts off clear in Niger Republic, then starts to yellow after it enters Nigeria, then becomes sand brown once it gets to Kainji (major illegal mining hub), then gets silted up to the point of having multiple sand islands between Lokoja and Onitsha. Look at the same comparison of the Benue River and how it is clear in Cameroon, then turns brown once it flows into Nigeria and passes through the multiple illegal mining areas in Nigeria's northeast. What you are looking at is a live map from space showing how over 70 million Nigerians whose water, food or livelihood come from these rivers and their surrounding water tables are being poisoned by lead, arsenic and other toxic runoff materials from illegal mining. What you are also looking at is a map that shows the riverbeds of Nigeria's 2 inland water lifelines silting up and becoming shallower, leading to dam failure and flooding in the surrounding estuaries - something that the idiots in Abuja are paid $1,000 by foreign NGOs to misreport as "Climate Change" by the same interests benefitting from unregistered mining of all kinds going on in Nigeria. What you are also looking at is a map that shows how the yellow or brown spots in the rivers' course through the North and Middle Belt match remarkably well with spots where genocidal incidents that drove communities off their land permanently were recorded. Anyway since I'm now Comrade Hundeyinovich of the Russian FSB, Twitter will ensure that only about 9 people see this so...

Roughly one in 10 Americans gets their water from the Colorado River. But the river is drying up due to a persistent drought driven in part by climate change. The crisis has been building for decades, but will likely come to a head this summer, as the past winter was brutally warm. The heavy snow that was supposed to fall on the Mountain West and slowly melt, sending water down into rivers and reservoirs, never happened. "Simply put, the basin is not producing the water supply that all of our states anticipated decades ago," California Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot told Horizons host William Brangham. "So we all anticipated and planned for and built infrastructure to use more water than is currently available." The Colorado River has slipped to record low levels, threatening the water supply for 40 million people across seven western states — Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, California and Nevada. But the crisis is not just about water; it's also about electricity. Lake Powell and Lake Mead, two reservoirs on the river, are also nearing record lows. The man-made lakes generate hydroelectric power for millions. In February, the seven Colorado River basin states failed to reach a new agreement on how to share the river's dwindling resources. The federal government is threatening to impose its own plan. Joel Ferry, the commissioner of Utah's Department of Natural Resources, called it a "solvable problem," and said the seven state governors are working with the federal government to find solutions. "Ultimately, this is something that both our political leaders and the water users have got to come together to find a creative solution," he said.

🚨 A child is waiting for water to drink 🚨 Watch how this child gasps for a sip of water… Donate today — thirst does not wait. In Gaza, a child does not understand war, does not comprehend siege, but understands one thing only: thirst. Watch this child drinking water amid the crowd, his breath broken, his eyes searching for more, as if that single sip is the line between life and collapse. This child is not waiting for anything from the world — just a cup of water to stop a slow death. Why does a child reach this state just to drink? Why has water turned from a basic right into a painful dream? In Gaza, children wait for water the way the world waits for salvation. 💧 Small bodies withering from dehydration, cracked lips, and mothers hiding their tears so they do not break their children even more. 💔 There are children who sleep thirsty and wake with the same pain, carrying containers larger than their hands, standing in endless lines under a merciless sun. We are Mohammed Project — from the heart of Gaza, reaching displacement camps and shelters, distributing water drop by drop, fearing each time that it will not be enough for everyone. ✨ This lifeline continues because some refused to stay silent: 🩷 William Menaker (Will 🦥 Menaker) turned his voice into water in the hands of children who were fading from thirst. 🩷 Eyup Lovely (Eyup Lovely) stood beside Gaza’s children when thirst was louder than the world. 🩷 Felix (GoliathFan1952) used his voice so children would not be left to dehydrate unseen. Because a thirsty child cannot wait, and dehydration does not offer second chances. 🙏 Donate today — urgently. Every donation means a child drinks. 👉 Donate now… Water is life.

In the 2021 elections Justin Trudeau has promised to invest $500M ahead of the next fire season train at least 1,000 firefighters, Indigenous fire crews, and invest $100Ms more to buy equipment like water bombers: "We will train at least 1,000 more firefighters in communities across the country who will be able to mobilize right away when a major burn starts...the other way we will keep communities safe is by investing hundreds of millions of dollars more for provinces to buy firefighting equipment from water bombers to helicopters....We will be there with what BC and British Columbians needs to get through the season." Turns out it was another Liberal lie. Liberal jumped on the opportunity of the hardship Canadians faces in 2021 just to lie and fail the country. Lies and negligence is the Justin Trudeau Liberals legacy.

🚨BREAKING | A newborn in Gaza was pulled from a flooded tent in the al-Zaytoun area after water rose to nearly 60 cm, drenching everything inside and leaving the baby, born just one day earlier at risk of drowning. Residents stood ankle-deep in dirty water as they pleaded for any form of assistance to be allowed in by the Israeli occupation entity, pointing to soaked pillows and ruined bedding as proof of how unlivable the shelter has become. They warned for days that a storm was approaching, yet no agency intervened despite every country knowing the weather front was coming. Survivors are now asking who, if anyone, is listening to the two million people trapped in Gaza as winter conditions intensify. m.saed.gaza (IG)

Another Congress Member Insider Trading for Matt Gaetz to investigate Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin’s Net Worth QUADRUPLED Between 2018-2022 From $12m -> $63m He bought shares of a water meter company just 2 weeks before Tulsa, Oklahoma announced replacing all water meters costing $94 million How did he know?! That’s not all, other congress members made the trade and the water meter replacements are being done nationwide “How is it possible that even though the congressional salary is a $174,000 a year, all these lawmakers are worth millions of dollars? That's because they often make much more than that in the stock market. I'll give you a perfect example, Senator Markwayne Mullin from Oklahoma. His net worth almost quadrupled between 2018 and 2022. January 4th, early this year, he bought shares of a company called Badger Meter Incorporated, ticker BMI. Now, Badger Meter, as their name suggests, makes water meters. The things that calculate how much water you use. So stick with me. Remember earlier when I said senator Mullen is from Oklahoma? The reason that's important is because just 2 weeks after Mullin bought shares with the water meter company, I came across an announcement by the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma saying that it has begun the installation of 145,000 automated water meters across the city at a cost of $94,000,000. The exact same product which was made by Badger Meter, the company he bought stock in just 2 weeks earlier. And it's not just Tulsa doing this, this is going on across the country. That's because of the new federal mandate by the EPA for every US city to upgrade their inventory of lead service lines by October 24, 2024 later this year. It's reasonable to assume that when Tulsa and all these other US cities upgrade millions of water meters to meet these new guidelines, a company like Badger Meter would stand to benefit, and in turn, those shares that he bought. I wish I could say that this was an isolated incident, but I see stuff like this happen all the time.”
