The most impressive was American Oil interests basically taking over Canadian environmental groups and getting them to bring our own Oil industry to a grinding halt with not much hope of recovering out of the Oil downturn.
America's going to come out of the Oil dip strong and we're going to be stuck by or own stupidity.
The even more amazing thing is if you explained any of this to Canadians outside Alberta they wouldn't believe it. They honestly have no clue about this stuff for the most part.

It reminds me of how back in the 1980s and 1990s, Canada was demonizing Brazil on their logging practices, but meanwhile, we were deforesting our country's forests at a faster rate. Every country likes to act like their #### don't stink when others are cutting into their profits.
