Our province is blackballed by the US government due to protectionist, American Oil funded environmental campaigns. But amazingly enough, it actually extends into our own country, where provinces will quite literally choose oil from backwards, horrible human rights abusing countries over oil from within their own damn country that would actually make our country's economy stronger, because they're too stupid to do any research and just give in to the American hype of the dirty Alberta Oilsands.
It's actually unbelievable how bad this has gotten, with most of North American just buying into this because of Americas fight against Alberta to keep their own economy afloat. Just baffling.

It disgusts me to the core that our government(s) has not only allowed American activists to handcuff ourselves but to gleefully help them demonize our own industry which has much more stringently enforced environmental regulations than the Americans. It has never been about the environment , emissions or native rights, its been about blackballing Canadian oil & gas to the benefit of the American oil interests.
Oh and while they fight Canadian oil interests this is going on:
