Yeah, they wanted to be involved so they were sent some shovels to clean. That will keep them busy for a while.
They, like you, still hav'nt learned to call it by it's proper name, Oil Sands, so I guess it's pretty typical for easterns to be such slow learners.
You are simply going along with the 'politically correct' idea where you change the name of something in order to change its image.
I'm a bit surprised that someone like you would be politically correct, but everyone is different I suppose. Enjoy yourself, I'm sure your public masturbator ravings please you in some intense way.
It's not a question of being politically correct, it's a question of being technically correct.
Consider this your lesson for today !!
He seems to be the only one on this thread that has a clue...
Ottawa only became interested in the oil sands after GCOS and Syncrude became sucessful after 20yrs of investment by Alberta and Sunoco...and now they want to control it...
They can get stuffed...it isn't a "Canadian resource" as that moron Dalton says and most eastern morons concur...it is an Alberta resource...

You might want to learn the history of the industry, when you're done worry about your politically-correct language.
Here's the official Government of Alberta view of the debate:
"The hydrocarbon mixtures found in northern Alberta have historically been referred to as tar, pitch or asphalt. However, 'oil sands' is now used most often to describe the naturally occurring bitumen deposits.
Not in Ottawa, in Regina at the PTRC along with dozens of oil companies. But apparently we need AB people to show us how.
Really? How did my potash become a "strategic asset" in the eyes of the Canadian economists and Fed Govt?
Yes, I think maybe it was originally thought that these sands could only be used to extract tar. But with the advancement of technology with these sands, we can now extract a multitude of hydrocarbons, the Oil Sands name now better reflects the components of this resource.
NRCan canmet does different work than they do at PTRC and in Devon AB.
PTRC - Petroleum Technology Research Centre
Recently the coal people decided to set up shop here too and "lead the way". Clean Coal Centre of Excellence finds its home in Regina
The Ottawa government has been trying to run the energy and resources sectors for years...and it is not their jursidiction as set up by the real constitution of the land ...the BNA Act of 1867..
And if they can't do it by legislation they will do it by regulation....much the same with health care and education/..
