When coal was king people scoffed at the idea of replacing it with oil products. Transitions take a couple of decades. Canadians should invest in the future not the past.
Enough of the stupid red herrings to deflect conversations. Who the fuck ever said that Sweden was bad and why is it in this conversation except as a deflection from the fact that you can't advocate burning the tar sands without being a climate change denier. Sorry if that offends people who like to maintain the illusion of balance but IMO its like you can't be a "mens rights" advocate without being a misogynist no matter how you spin an argument.
