research confirms</a> that upgrading oil extracted from Alberta’s
oilsands is indeed a nasty bit of business that puts waterways, fish and
people at risk.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>The burning and
combustion required to transform raw bitumen into synthetic crude oil comes
at a heavy cost: the release of airborne pollutants — some of which
have been found to cause cancer in humans and impact the development and
survival of fish. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Our research
shows that these toxic substances are making their way into the <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Athabasca</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">River</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>, contaminating a waterway that
holds ecological, cultural and commercial significance for the people who
live along its shores. The river is also a vital life source for many
wildlife species; it is home to more than half of the province’s fish
species.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>But that’s
just part of the story. Because even though the oilsands are one of the
biggest industrial projects on the planet, the federal government
doesn’t monitor and report oilsands pollution in an accessible,
transparent way. That means we have no way of knowing the cumulative effects
oilsands production has on human health and the environment.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>That needs to end
now. We need answers.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Tell the federal
government that your health is a priority and that polluters must be held
accountable for what they put into the air, water and land you depend on.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Tell the federal
