Rock Star Neil Young Takes on Canadian Oil Sands

摘要

While he is arguably Canada's most famous musician, iconic rocker Neil Young's fan base is likely a little thinner these days in the small Alberta city of Fort McMurray, the epicenter of the province's massive oil sands industry. Young kicked off a four-city Canadian tour this week to drum up financial support for the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nations (ACFN) in Alberta. The aboriginal band is fighting to prevent further oil sands development, which they say has already poisoned their traditional lands.
