Jack Layton: liar
September 9, 2008
So the leader of the federal NDP, Jack Layton, was recently on the John Gormley show, talking about the Alberta oilsands.
His claim? That no reclamation has ever been done
up near Fort McMurray.
He confidently trotted out increased water pollution, more cases of human cancer and poisoned fish — all the result of the oil sands projects near Ft. McMurray.Suspicious of this — I’ve seen data that says Jack is dead wrong on this — I asked him about reclamation, where the mined soils are returned to a natural state. He, again confidently expounded that “reclamation has never taken place at the oilsands”.
Oops.
Sorry, Jack…you’ve been caught in a lie.
