Harper's Alberta backers, in the service of their short term profits, have been the main force for decades in blocking a national energy policy in Canada. Canada's huge energy resources could, if properly managed and conserved, power Canada's industries far into the future, could be powering the creation of industry, jobs and real wealth for all Canadians far into the future. Instead successive Canadian governments have kowtowed to the short term interests of the greedy oil industry by encouraging massive exports instead of long term conservation.
Instead it's Canada's First Nations and environmentalists who are leading the fight for conservation, for long term development of real wealth producing strategies, for the protection of the wilderness who's free services underlie our existance and for the future of all of our children and their children to come.
It's the Canadian government's capitialist ethos that's radical not that of those demanding the conservation of our fragile biosphere.
