The Canadian Tar Sands (Northern Alberta)

There are currently many wealthy and powerful sources providing misleading information about the Alberta Tar Sands — these include The Harper Government (as our Canadian prime minister insists the media now refer to the elected Canadian Government), “Big Oil” along with those who profit from oil production, and the well-funded lobby in the USA promoting the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline.

English entomologist and engraver Moses Harris (1730-1788) devised the first full-colour wheel in 1766, creating the foundation of modern colour theory.

“The 18 colours of his wheel were derived from what he then called the three ‘primitive’ colours: red, yellow and blue. At the center of the wheel, Harris showed that black is formed by the superimposition of these colours.”
