An interesting and relevant cartographic struggle ...
>From the "Enbridge: Stop Misleading the Public" campaign website:
"If a tar sands pipeline and supertankers project looks too dangerous,
what do you do? If you’re Enbridge, you delete islands off of public
safety videos and maps to convince the public the project is less
dangerous than it really is."
" ... a scientist just discovered that Enbridge deliberately removed
1,000 km2 of islands off of a route safety video and map to make the
oil tanker route look much less treacherous than it actually is."
