Let’s not forget the Saint Helena gun control advocate community as well.

Canadian environmentalists see ally in Obama

Translation, let's kill the Canadian economy, (particularly Alberta) so that Canada can experience the same financial troubles as the rest of the world.

Then Ontario and Quebec will assume their rightful place again as the leaders of Canada.

Even if it means an igloo heated by a blubber lamp

That’s some expectedly twisted speech from the Toronto Globe and Mail. The truth is that certain Ontario interests are wanting to shut Alberta oil sands work down for the main purpose of keeping the Canadian dollar low and their export volumes high for other products. There are also importers in the US (our northeast and California, mostly), who want to keep their margins high with a lower Canadian dollar. Canadian oil exports raise the Canadian dollar. ...see?

Well, there’s much more to it than that, but generally there are US and Canadian interests (mostly the east in Canada) that want to kill oil sands production. But for national security, we may well need oil from there very much in the near future.
