Definitely agree. We should be promoting domestic sources of oil as much as possible where we have stringent environmental regulations and oversight on development.
Importing oil or supporting further production from places like Libya, Africa and Venezuela where there are literally zero considerations for environmental impacts, let alone their human rights records is morally bankrupt. We should be developing as much of our petroleum resources as possible here in Canada.
