Environmental Health Perspectives, 2011 In the article “Alberta’s Oil Sands: Hard Evidence, Missing Data, New Promises,” Weinhold (2011) misrepresented the findings of our Royal Society of Canada report (Gosselin et al. 2010) too often to recount fully here. Despite requesting my review of a draft, EHP chose not to correct many errors I identified, raising questions about EHP’s editorial ...
