It comes from the heart of tarsands country, in Fort McMurray Alberta. And here's the note that came with it:

I am an Oil Sands worker and risked my job to take this picture. Myself, along with the majority of my co-workers are ready for a renewable energy revolution. We need to stand together to eliminate the corruption that exists in this industry, start taxing carbon emissions, and creating green jobs for a sustainable future. We do not work in this industry because we like supporting large oil companies; we simply have no other choice. We want jobs that provide long term economic, social and environmental sustainability for ourselves, our country and our planet.

Enjoy an exploration of contemporary society interacting with our Great Depression history. The victims of Wall Street’s recklessness organize to protest their government’s inaction and the police repression of dissent. Discover the Saskatchewan of 1935 that gave refuge, food and support to the dispossessed Trekkers. Relive the Regina Riot where police attacked a peaceful crowd in Market Square on Dominion Day. Cameo appearances by Ex-BC Premier Dave Barrett, Maude Barlow, MP Libby Davies, and Sask. historians add colour and depth.

We'll be starting with an informal World Cafe from 6-7
The movie will be screened at 7, followed by a panel discussion.

It's like the British Columbia public is trapped in the ultimate he-said-she-said argument between a warring married couple -- the Government of British Columbia and the BC Teachers' Federation -- and they both want you to take their side.

Yesterday, the Ministry of Education issued a series of "facts" against a series of BCTF claims, designed to undermine the teachers' position. Shortly after, the teachers' union responded with counter-facts against the ministry's attack on the union's facts. The BC Federation of Labour also came out with its take on the government's "facts," which you can read here.

Confused yet?

To aid you in deciphering rhetoric from truth, The Tyee is republishing both the teachers' and the government's side, complete with attempts from both sides to discredit the other. Make up your own mind, and feel free to debate the legitimacy of both sides in the comments section.
