Alberta tar sands

-licensed to use twice the amount of fresh water that the entire city of Calgary uses in a year

-90% of the fresh water used in the oil sands ends up in tailing lakes so toxic that propane cannons and floating scarecrows are used to keep ducks from landing in them.

-an accident related to the failure of one of the oil sands tailings ponds could have catastrophic impact in the aquatic ecosystem of the Mackenzie River Basin due to the size of these lakes and their proximity to the Athabasca River.

-flock of migrating ducks landed on a tar sands toxic lake and died

-oil sands uses enough natural gas in a day to heat 3 million homes in Canada

-the main idea is the tar sands use up so any of the resources and the caust is to high. It is ridiculous how much it is taking away from all the other citizens.

Canadian Identity test

What makes me have Canadian identity? Well its not like to u.s.a witch has a melting pot were everyone has to be one way. I think in Canada for me to have Canadian identity its not to be born here its to be who i am, and not let anyone change me. Another thing i  think for me to have Canadian identity i must be open to different people coming into Canada and not change them and let them be who they are. I also think i should be  able to take in the multiculturalism. For me not to be racist and tell people to go back to there home country when they came here couse they cant go back its not safe there. Not to play with guns and to stay away from them. How is it shown in my daily life? I show it by being nice. I am not racist to the people that are in my school that have a different background then i do. I do not tell them to go home to were then have come from. I also take in the multiculturalism that is around me and try to learn it.
