Trudeau is absolutely correct. Canada's oil sands are a sunset dinosaur and need to be phased out and the sooner the better. It is however incumbent upon the government to attract new industry, the greener the better, or our grandchildren will be choking to death. Canada is a high emitter per capita...three times that of China and anyone watching the news understands that what has been occurring in terms of smog and CO2 emissions in Beijing is a mere sign of where this world is heading. It's catastrophic and he deserved to be chided by Jane Fonda last week.

Mr. Trudeau has great intent and clearly does not understand how to transform that into action. We all empathize with the job impacts in Alberta and our elected members of parliament have an accountability to create new jobs as the tar sands are being phased out.
