By Action Alberta --Susan Hearn —— Bio and Archives--May 12, 2020
I may sound pessimistic, but I believe that Alberta has now moved beyond trying to convince the rest of the country of the importance of the oil industry. I believe we are in a fight for the future of Alberta proper and all her industries, not just resource development. Ironically, we also must fight for the future of the indigenous peoples of the West. Without our insistence of their right to resource development on their reserve lands, they have no future either.
With all due respect for his hard work, my reply to Mr. Tonken of CAPP is simply this: today's defence of the oil industry by oil men themselves, may simply be “too little too late.” The truth is most oil executives beginning as far back as the late 1970s, and early 1980s did not take the environmental movement seriously. They took it for granted that the public knew oil was important, so they did not attempt to publicly defend their industry.
They could not have guessed that in a few decades, twenty-year-old students, wearing hoodies, balaclavas and waving ugly anti-oil placards would hold their industry hostage. The Comment section of online publications is the new front in the ongoing Cancel Culture Battle.
