About the Tar Sands

'We are seeing a terrifyingly high rate of cancer in Fort Chipewyan where I live. We are convinced that these cancers are linked to the Tar Sands development on our doorstep. It is shortening our lives. That's why we no longer call it “dirty oil” but “bloody oil”.' George Poitras, a former chief of Mikisew Cree First Nation
