wonder just how clean that lake is, what with Exxon Valdez oil still being found under rocks on the Alaska coast these decades on. usual estimate is that 15% of oil that gets on land can actually be cleaned up - at most.

As for people sitting around, that is exactly the issue here - the people responsible didn't act fast enough because the system isn't set up for it.

I can tell you Alberta Environment said the lake was cleaned up and signed off and you can call BS on that. What I saw in November of that year before the lake froze up was a small pool of oil about 6ft. across at a boom that was left in place for the summer.

Yep Red Deer River 06/07/2012, 3000 barrels of sour crude, 8 different oil company spill teams dispatched in 1hr and and 17 minutes and a helicopter in the air. No one sitting around waiting for the talking heads to tell them what to do.

The oil ran into Glenifer Lake behind the Dickson Dam, the lake was closed down for 3 weeks and cleaned up in time for the Canada Day long weekend. Some of you useless fuckers probably sit on the shitter until the government tells you its OK to wipe your ass.

This seems to be a selective telling of the facts.

Plains Midstream charged in Red Deer River pipeline spill

...The regulator concluded Plains Midstream didn't inspect its pipeline often enough and didn't pay enough attention to government warnings.

It also said the company failed to enact adequate mitigation measures once the leak occurred and communicated poorly with hundreds of people affected by the spill.

Plains Midstream fined $1.3M after guilty plea

A pipeline company has been fined after pleading guilty in two spills that sent a total of nearly five million litres of oil into Alberta rivers and wetlands.

Plains Midstream Canada faced three environmental charges in a courtroom in Red Deer, Alta., on Tuesday and was ordered to pay a total of $1.3 million for the spills, one of which was the second largest in Alberta history.


...The board then responsible for overseeing Alberta pipelines cited the company for not properly digging the pipeline, for inadequate operating and maintenance and for inadequate leak detection and response

Your role in that was what? Flicking channels and you saw it on TV? There's a lot in apples in your apples and oranges comparison, by the way.

Watched live, IT WAS IN MY BACKYARD !!! now catch up, the discussion is about the response time numb nutz.

What did you do today Daddy?

It is about response time; then along came you with your apples and oranges comparison - you know, private sector to public sector and mussed it all up with that reflexive rush of shit to the brain that sounded like a hiccup.

As for my day...well I was dealing with Alberta Redneck types in person...

Sorry, I didn't know that I had to explain from start to finish. Fuck I would have had to recount over a years worth of facts.

We should get back on topic tho, bueatiful British Columbia and their oily beaches that no one was prepared to protect.
