Syncrude has a history of ecological damage and bird deaths.

They were fined for that too, but the fines are nothing compared to the money Syncrude makes.
The whole tar sands is an ecological disaster. The land has been destroyed, much wild life has suffered and died. The water table is a mess and cancer rates down stream have risen. The oil companies have made lots of money and pay lots of taxes so the government is happy.
We need to rethink our values if we are willing to accept this much harm for profit.
