I think if we're talking about environmental terrorist groups, then yes the Oilsands would be a pretty juicy target, especially something that causes wide spread environmental damage to illustrate a point.

But it would probably be more effective for them to start blowing up pumping stations or pipelines, but the best target in my mind would be to blow up a natural gas or oil freighter.

If we're talking Islamic terrorists, then attacking the oilsands or infrastructure that has to do with Oil exploration and production would probably be fairly easy, but it wouldn't have the effect that they want, there aren't enough casualties. However in terms of strategy, blowing up a soft target like a damn would certainly distract security arrangements elsewhere making a bigger target slightly easier to get at.

If I was a terrorist with a limited budget, I would cart a couple of grenades into the dome during a hockey game, you could probably kill several hundred people in several seconds.
