Oilsands giant fined $278K after ‘major’ contravention of environmental protection act

1. Wow, a whole $278k. Whatever will they do?

2. Pennie to them.

3. Not even pocket change.

   What a joke.

4. Canadian Natural Resources Limited is the company. The contravention was for not preventing wildlife from coming into contact with bitumen and contaminated water. So one might say that the fine was somewhat large relative to the contravention.

   But then again, CNRL made US$13.5 billion profit in 2023.

5. I’m reminded of a bad guy from Leverage. “That’s like tipping your waiter.”

6. This is why we can’t have nice things like clean water and air. What a joke?
