'The oil sands are as a pinprick in the world’s energy production, yet as the eco-Furies paint them, they are Armageddon’s launch pad. '
'He’s been stronger lobbying Jeff Bezos on Amazon for Toronto than the country or the world on the oil sands. '
'It lubricates the singular and farcical association of the oil sands and the green nightmare of CO2 doom. '
'Stall, freeze, regulate, litigate, occupy and demonstrate — anything that slows progress or jams an operation — if it’s the oil sands, all’s on the table. '
'The tactics change, the game remains the same — stop Alberta and its “toxic” world-ruinous oil sands. '

I've always thought the Fort Mac fires were man made... I was there the summer before, we never had any issues even though you see the smoke every year and smell it. Suddenly we shut down everything and couldn't keep them at bay though the technology is better and we have more fire fighters from other provinces than ever? I call bullshit.
