Pardon my french, but Canada's tar sands suck. As a Canadian it blows my mind that we can have the second largest deposits of oil in the world, but our government remains billions in debt and one in seven Canadian children live in poverty. Here are ten reasons Canada's tar sands suck.

In a report released today, the Government of Canada's international tar sands advocacy strategy is revealed. Until things change we need to call it like it is -- sacrificing our children's future so that the tar sands industry can make an even more obscene profit today.

If the Keystone Pipeline Project gains approval, it will become exceedingly difficult to control the tar sands monster. The scientific community needs to get involved in this fray now.
