The province of Alberta is the heaviest industrial polluter in Canada and if you go up north towards the town of Fort McMurray, you will find a total ecological disaster and wasteland. Tar sand pits are exposed, migrating birds are dead, two headed fish thrive, and the malodorous air is so full of particulates and gases from the tar sand excavation and extraction that it causes breathing difficulty. Not to mention that elevated numbers of birth deformities and cancer cases have been recorded. Google Fort McMurray and tar sands pollution...
