Environmental science, climate research and alternative energy development are being curtailed in Canada so as to protect the Oilbertan tar sands.

After a change in Federal Government in late-2015 and the most costly natural disaster in Canadian history this past summer, one would have expected something to change, but this change is very quickly becoming too little and too late in coming.

Four separate active wildfires burning in Alberta this past Christmas, and not a single mention about this in the mainstream media :

We will continue to dig tar out of the ground until there's absolutely nothing left.

It's our collective Oilbertan zombie destiny.
