The problem with Justin Trudeau's comments and your article as well is it fails to recognize the importance of oil as a feed stock for organic  chemistry and the millions of different  products that are made from it everyday. Everything from dyes, paints, plastics, pharmaceutical, fertilizers, herbacides, pesticides,  greases, waxes, soaps, rubber ,ect,ect, ect. 

So even if we can make the switch to electric vehicles we are still going to need the use of hydrocarbons to produce the myriad of products that makes modern society possible. It is Justin Trudeau's failure to reconogize this and a lack of a realistic vision for a future Canada that has many Canadians upset.
