PRESS RELEASE - The Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN) commends the 19% of independent Imperial Oil Shareholders who voted in favour of the ACFN motion to account for climate and tailings pond liabilities at their AGM today
#Kearl #cdpoli

As a reminder, tailings leaked from the Kearl oil sands site for almost a year before it told Athabasca Chipewyan, or indeed any community. And it only did so after a spill of 5.3m L of industrial wastewater into the environment theglobeandmail.com/business/artic… #ableg #oott #cdnpoli

'ACFN Chief Allan Adam told [Imperial Oil] shareholders at that the eventual cleanup of the company’s long-life oil sands sites was already a pricey problem for shareholders, and it would only get worse... Imperial is not being honest with its investors'

theglobeandmail.com/business/artic……

Chief Adam to Imperial Oil shareholders, April 30:
'Shareholders should know that [tailings ponds are] going to cost many billions of dollars to clean up. The financial liability is enormous. The financial obligation to maintain these ponds is expected to last hundreds of years.'

📢Today! Imperial Oil shareholders will vote on a motion that would require the company to 'determine the effects of different transition scenarios on its asset-retirement obligations, including future reclamation costs.'

This is important, and of course, led by Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation

#PlasticsTreaty It’s extremely worrying to hear about intimidation and harassment of scientists by industry at #INC4 . The #right2science requires protection for scientists. There should be zero tolerance for industry misconduct.

Low ambition countries and their attempts to weaken the #PlasticsTreaty 👀 🤨Shoutout to countries who are not having it and are continuing to stand by a strong and ambitious treaty! 💯

Hi #INC4 👋 from 1972 when the WaPo ran this lede: “We are all just a little bit plastic now.” Said the White House’s Council on Env Quality, “I know this is going to be a significant future issue… potentially our next bad one.” Re: phthalates. #keepgoing #PlasticsTreaty
