Yup. Norway is similar. When you pump out massive amounts of Cheap, Dirty Oil(Canada has some of the dirtiest, if not the absolute dirties oil in the world, environmentally, and in terms of refining), and have a small population... it's pretty hard to NOT have an awesome country.
I find it hilarious when people criticize the US for not having universal healthcare. The USA could EASILY afford universal healthcare... if it was willing to decimate the environment, like Norway, or Canada are.
And things like the "Paris Accords", are just more of this tom-fuckery. The USA sits on massive oil deposits, and decade after decade refuses to use them. Compare that to Canada, which is constantly lobbying for more Pipelines(which Liberal Trudea pushed HARD for), and is destroying thousands of square miles of pristine habitat.
If you've never seen what Canadian oil operations look like... maybe do some googling. It will make you throw up... thinking of the animals are displaced/killed. It will make you cry, when you learn that it's not just the animals... but HUMANS they are doing this to. Eskimos who have lived there for hundreds of years have seen their homeland turn into a warzone.
I'm sure it's very nice in Canada, as long as you stay out of the Oil Warzones. It's also very nice in the UAE, Norway, and Saudi Arabia too, for similar reasons. If only America said "Fuck the world" and started pumping oil like those countries... then we could also claim America as a "Liberal Paradise".
The absolute funiest part about the whole thing, is that people like Trudeau are criticizing the USA for leaving the Paris accords(literally while he was creating one of the Biggest pipelines in recent history). The Paris accords don't care that Norway, Canada, Saudis, etc pump tons of dirty oil. The Paris Accords don't factor in the fact that the USA has NOT pumped its oil reserves(which would flood the market, and cause oil to drop in price... which would cause more to be used... instead of Green Technologies, and other cleaner sources of energy).
I hate Trump. But he's right. It's a shitty deal. Paris only goes after the consumers... and not the producers. The PRODUCERS are the ones who determine the price of oil, and whether Oil vs Green is cheaper. So, if you really want to limit Carbon... let's get Canada, the Saudis, Norway, UAE, etc to all enter into a BINDING agreement(unlike Paris, which wasn't worth the paper it was written on), in which BOTH producers, AND Consumers of oil are regulated.
I don't think it's fair that Canada can pump this oil that is HORRIBLE for the environment(and is the main reason the USA can't change over to green... because Canada keeps shoving dirt cheap oil down our throats).
If Canada wasn't over-producing oil, and constant creating new pipelines... the USA would probably have made much more progress, in terms of transitioning to green technologies. It's not just Canada, though. It's all major producers.
