Apparently, in order not be an arrogant easterner, it is now necessary to pretend that Fort Mac doesn't stink. For Mac stank horrendously (well beyond the pulp and paper mill smell which I remember from other bits of Alberta) in the late 80s when I was there and the tar sands were still an experimental development. I have not gone there since, I have to admit - would be shocked if it smells less awful now that the area being exploited is many times larger than it was before. Is Colby Cosh sure he has been there? If so, to adapt a statement by a left-wing radical that right-wing people like to quote, he has given up the struggle to smell what is right in front of his nose. I have a vision in my head of Colby Cosh, Ezra Levant, and all the other defenders of the Tar Sands passing through the city, all smiles, deliberately not noticing any smells.

This current Nazi agenda driven government is destroying the future for our children in the name of a few jobs for Albertans. Green energy if a proven fact that it will save our Earth. It is also a proven fact that green energy will create even more jobs than the dirty tar sands.

Of course there are smells to it, several of them depending on the process, the heat involved and catalysts, if used.<br /><br />Hydrocarbons are organic material that has decayed over hundreds of millions of years.<br /><br />And those tailing ponds, think they don't stink?
