RE: https://urbanists.social/@cargot_robbie/116851475405049500 It is soundling like #bitumen #pipeline to Roberts Bank 2. This likely means the pipeline will be in the Fraser River, the largest and most important #salmon river south of Alaska and north of the Columbia River. I so hope I am wrong… h/t @cargot_robbie@urbanists.social https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/livestory/energy-proposal-ab-bc-west-coast-july-2-live-updates-9.7251535 #BCPoli #CdnPoli #ABPoli

Who. If Not. This. Then. What. If Not. Now. Then. When. The last time a pipeline was economically threatened, our so-called progressive PM spent nearly 3 TTC Line 5 budgets to get it built https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/trans-mountain-expansion-begins-1.7150343 Just so that we could pay in perpetuity for USA companies to pump oil through it https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/tmx-trans-mountain-sale-freeland-1.7176629 How many Canadians will Carney kill to build this? #CDNPoli

The "Oilsands Region" refers to not just the active surface mines, but a large region across 1/5 of Alberta that overlays #bitumen deposits. Most of it is in fact still native vegetation, but it is highly fragmented by seismic lines and other human footprint. After ten years, Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute has finally been able to publish this report https://osr-report-2026.abmi.ca/osr-home?mc_cid=dc38273590&mc_eid=726c727c41 #oilsands #alberta #biodiversity
