      If what reddit told me is true, the AB gov’t and taxpayers will be on the hook for the cleanup.

      I don’t understand how the rabidly pro-oil-and-gas side just doesn’t care that people are concerned about these kinds of things.

      The common retort is that it doesn’t happen often, which is true enough, but it only needs to happen once to be truly catastrophic. Imagine if this happened on one of the rivers near B.C.’s north coast, the entire coastal economy would be decimated for over a century. But if you bring it up then you’re a hippie or an extremist, or something like that.

      Has the Alberta government issued an apology yet to Imperial Oil for allowing the environment to interfere with the flow of precious oil?

      Someone is either getting fired or promoted. Do people still fail upwards in this industry ?

      And they wonder why Quebec doesn’t want a new oil pipe. Imagine all that spilling into St Lawrence. It would be so disastrous.

      It’s really too bad solar and wind are so much leakier so we can’t make a huge transition to renewable energies.

      How come it takes a week for the general public to become informed of an oil spill? And also, I know 843,000 litres is a relatively small amount all things considered, but…

      >The report and Imperial Oil say no impacts to wildlife or waterbodies have been identified so far.

      No impacts? Like 0 impacts? I find that hard to believe. Minimal impacts sure.. but 0?

      I think the Alberta Energy Regulator may not be completely unbiased.

      >For example, there’s no information on the length of the spill, nor the environment where the spill happened, whether it was a forest, wetland or waterbody.

      You’d think a report would include some of that stuff.

      Cool. I think fining them the price of oil in barrels, per liter, should be sufficient.

      That is 840000000 millilitres. Next they will be describing it in teaspoons

      Cold Lake, Alta? That’s one way of abbreviating I guess. Never seen Onio or Maba before. How would you do BC?

      I know it isn’t a *huge* spill comparatively speaking but I hope gas prices go up so I can do my part in helping the oil companies recoup any losses.

      Ever realize that it’s always imperial oil. Which is actually Exxon btw the use of imperial oil name is to fool you into thinking it’s Canadian
