Within Canada stretches one of the largest and healthiest intact ecosystems left on the planet- a Boreal Forest. It acts as a carbon sink, protects the endangered animals within it, and contains bodies of water that are unspoiled by pollution. Unfortunately, beneath the flourish of life was the dark discovery of tar sands. Tar, or oil sands are composed of sand, water, clay, and bitumen- a thick, dark, and heavy oil. Because of its viscosity, bitumen needs to be lightened with a mixture of…
perpetually and unalterably cheerful, but feel my own mind restless and uneasy.

Ashburton’s traumatic recollection demonstrates the power that the murders had on the individual; not only through inspiring “powerful sensations of horror and guilt” (Critchley and James 36), but specifically in their ability to resurrect past experiences of otherwise unfathomable violence. The murders have a similarly evocative effect on Thomas De Quincey. His works are steeped in violence and a preoccupation with…
