>> A lot of the largest rivers and lakes in Canada are now highly polluted to the point where it's not safe to eat the fish.
Here are the six longest rivers in Canada. Please indicate which are so polluted that they are unsafe to fish from because of pollution from mining or oil extraction:
1. Mackenzie River
2. Yukon River
3. St. Lawrence River
4. Nelson River
5. Slave River
6. Columbia River
Hint: none of them.
I'd also like to know more about these uninhabitable places that no one has ever been to.
- Alex3917 9y agoI was talking about pollution in remote areas in general, not specifically about mining or oil. But this article about mercury from hydroelectric dams in Canada is a good example, where many Innuit now have elevated levels of mercury so can no longer eat the fish, which had been their main food source for thousands of years: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/11/world/canada/clean-energy-dirty-water-canadas-hydroelectric-dams-have-a-mercury-problem.html https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/11/world/canada/clean-energy...
