There is an air of triumphalism among the oil patch and its supporters in Alberta these days. Steady Eddy Stelmach who threw open the doors for the industry by extending to infinity the deadline for environmental action in Alberta has been re-elected. All that can be seen in their collective mind's eye are the dollars piling up not the destruction of our environment on their oily altar to greed and consumption.
Contrast this with Norway, which built a vault to store the precious seeds that produce the food to nourish us all. "A frozen garden of Eden" is how the Norwegian prime minister described it.
Well I guess that means Fort McMurray must be the coming fires of hell.
