News: The Toxic Avenger
In the June issue of Field & Stream, and on our main site soon, you will read a story about Canada's Boreal Forest, a sportsman's paradise that is under attack from the development of oil refineries that are separating oil out of the sand pits in northern Canada.
Pretty ironic since CNN is reporting that about 500 ducks landed on a lake owned by oil-sands company Syncrude Canada Ltd in Alberta, and are dying or dead because the lake is toxic.

Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach was visibly angry Tuesday as he questioned why noise-making cannons were not deployed to scare the waterfowl away from the pond filled with oil-sands wastes.
I think I'm more worried about why there's a lake that toxic in Canada to begin with, not that there wasn't a noise maker to keep birds away.
