Canada sits on enough oil to bring about catastrophic global warming if it were ever burnt. The two largest parties in Parliament are both basically committed to ripping that oil out of the ground and selling it as fuel as quickly as possible. There’s very little in the way of mass public resistance to this goal (First Nations land protectors honourably excepted) because apathy and misplaced politeness reign supreme in Canadian culture. The media is dominated by right-wing conglomerates who portray any opposition to oil development as loony, unhinged and probably foreign-sponsored. The main left-wing party still thinks that star-power and nostrums about hope are how one goes about building a mass movement.
