Joint Statement by Indigenous and environmental groups on the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) laying nine charges against Imperial Oil for releasing toxic tailings waste at its Kearl mine in February 2023.

As we navigate the complexities posed by this climate crisis, it is vital to address the intentional lack of choice afforded to Indigenous communities by predatory oil and gas industries and government officials.

Há mais de 15 meses, foi relatado que as lagoas de rejeitos da mina Kearl da Imperial Oil Ltd. vazaram mais de 5,3 milhões de litros de óleo tóxico na bacia hidrográfica de Athabasca. A Imperial, juntamente com o órgão regulador de energia de Alberta (AER), não notificou as comunidades indígenas afetadas por mais de 9 meses após a descoberta do vazamento.

Last week, the government of Alberta made a series of alarming and contradicting announcements that demonstrate the continued disregard of long-standing environmental, human and Indigenous rights abuses in the province.
