No denying climate change and it needs to be taken seriously but the oilsands are only 0.12% of global GHG. A rounding error basically. Canada can and will do better but we have to look at our role in the global picture.

We cannot kill jobs and industry when globally we aren't the problem. Canada needs to balance jobs vs. environment. I'd need to be convinced of this balance from the NDP or Liberals and that they'll stick up for industry before I'd vote for them.
