canada has the biggest proven oil reserves on the planet. oil sand production is profitable at current prices and some say even lower. this world won't be forced off the oil teet, we're going to suck it dry. that's human nature. too many products, people, places and things inextricably tied to oil.
provincial government officials(actually just one guy, if i understand correctly, the minister of green shit) trying to usurp that are only going to make fat cats fatter and poor people more poor. taking folks off natural gas and requiring them to use electricity is truly myopic.
