The province of Alberta is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Sure, we're a winter country -- 8 months of it, sometimes -- but the summers are exhilarating. In the space of two weeks we can go from a white world to a green one, complete with evening thunderstorms and light that, nearing the longest day of the year, never actually leaves the

Fuck. Fuckity fucking fuck. Fuckers.

Alberta's beautiful. That isn't.

[harpergrey]

Not even remotely. It terrifies me, what's happening to our province.

[canadianevil]

Me too. I may have been born in Saskatchewan, but this is my province and... wow. I don't know what to do but I want to do something.

[harpergrey]

Me too. I'm just not sure what. There's got to be something though...

I didn't really know exactly how bad it was, either... the Bio curriculum just kinda pathetically scratches the surface of this stuff.

Eeew.

[harpergrey]

Yeah... I think when it comes to education they have to be really careful about what they say or they'll get sued by the oil and gas companies. Corporations like to sue people.

I really really wish I knew what we could do to fix it. *hugs*

[tallfemalemanta]

Me too...

But I think maybe the awareness of the problem is more of a help to Alberta than the obliviousness is, which is a start.

Why am I not surprised...most of the Albertans in power are blind. Unfortunately, we can't do something about them quickly, its gonna be slow. But we're of the prairies, aren't we? We erode like motherfuckers. We WILL erode them.

[harpergrey]

Yeah... I'm just worried that slow is gonna be too slow and everything will be a grey desert when the smoke clears.
