The lethal mix of migratory birds and oilsands tailings ponds are in the news again this month.
On September 20 we learned another 123 birds died or will be euthanized after landing on a Suncor tailings pond. And on September 27, Syncrude Canada will appear in court for failing to prevent the deaths of blue herons at an Alberta oilsands site, the very same crime the company was convicted of in 2010 after an estimated 1,600 ducks met the same fate on one of its tailings pond.
Convictions like Syncrude’s are supposed to help to prevent the deaths of waterfowl on oilsands (Read more…). So why are we here again?
