Calling the oil sands "tar sands" is itself a political statement.
If you want to be technical, the proper term is "bituminous sands" . Calling it "oil sands" would also be political in the context, because it implies that they are impregnated in liquid oil and if you just wring it out you get free-flowing light crude. Tar sands would actually be closer to reality, since by definition the hydrocarbons recoverable from those sands do not flow unless you heat or dilute them.
