An “unprecedented national collaboration” between The National Observer, Global, The Toronto Star and more exposes the dangers of sour gas in Saskatchewan. But as the site OurSask.ca points out, they forgot to mention the CBC broke the story 2 years ago. Read “The Price of Oil” at the The National Observer.

The National Post’s Jen Gerson co-hosts.
