Quotes from Canada's Oil Sands Avatar discussion

StacyBR says: "I've found more people discussing how Avatar is more like Disney's movie Pocohantas than it is a reflection of the oil sands."

Tarsandbeetle says: "As one who has lived in Fort McMurray since 1995 and worked in heavy oil for most of my professional life, it disturbs me that folks have such a narrow, and biased view of what is happening in the region and in the oilsands."
