Guest: Cody Battershill, Canada Action
The world needs natural resources.
That is according to Cody Battershill of Canada Action. He says as stewards of the environment, no other exporting country can match Canada’s protection standards. He argues manufacturers are going to buy the resources from someone, so it might as well be use because of our environmental record.
He goes on to discuss Alberta’s oil sands and refutes the claim that it is a climate bomb. His figures says the entire oil sands industry contributes less than 0.15 per cent of the global greenhouse emissions.
