If you're saying that the people of Canada are too stupid to do anything other than suck the resources out of the ground in an unsustainable way.... I'll have to disagree.

Yes, oil company PR (especially their hired Internet trolls) has made the public increasingly ignorant, but the effects  of the PR lies will wear off eventually. Unlike the pollution disasters.
