United Nations Special Rapporteur Visits Northern #Alberta

TREATY 6 (EDMONTON)—Representatives from Treaty 8, Treaty 6, and Keepers of the #Water will meet the #UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights, Pedro Arrojo-Agudo, during his visit to Canada. Arrojo-Agudo is visiting April 8 - 19 to discuss safe drinking water and sanitation. Alberta is facing a drought in 2024, and the extraction industry still has the right to much of the water that is left.

“Keepers of the Water will attend this meeting to share the serious concerns related to Water, such as the proposal to dump the toxic tailings into the Athabasca River and other industrial contamination concerns, as well as the immense water use by Industry and how that will impact this entire society as we are in a drought.”

Jesse Cardinal, Executive Director, Keepers of the Water

There should be an international outcry over this. The Alberta Energy Regulator #AER has approved #Suncor to mine a rare patterned fen that holds millions of tonnes of carbon, to produce heavy oil that should never be burned. Project starts next year. #Alberta #wetland #carbon

Boxma Plumbing and Heating Inc. A toast to everyone! Haha just kidding this is a glass of liquid propane, and this morning it was cold enough Andrew was able to pour himself a glass of liquid propane. Propane has a boiling point of -42.2 degree Celcius. This morning at -43 outside and 2677 feet above sea level, propane will stay liquid under no pressure. #funfact Photo of liquid propane in a stemmed wine glass.

The view from my office window, the wildfire smoke makes the sun look red, no filters or editing!

Doctor’s voices

“When you see someone wearing an N95 mask indoors, please don’t assume they are scared, vulnerable or sick. They might just be doing their best to decrease the overall burden of respiratory illnesses in our community.

More people masking = fewer people sick, hospitalized, or dead.”

Dr. Chuck Wurster, ER physician, #Alberta
