Book
Ducks : two years in the oil sands / Kate Beaton.
With the singular goal of paying off her student loans, Katie Beaton heads out west to take advantage of Alberta's oil rush--part of the long tradition of East Coasters who seek gainful employment elsewhere when they can't find it in their hometown. Katie encounters the harsh reality of life in the oil sands, where trauma is an everyday occurrence yet is never discussed. This is an untold story of Canada: a country that prides itself on its egalitarian ethos and natural beauty while simultaneously exploiting both the riches of its land and the humanity of its people.
