Oil and gas are a huge part of the economy, and a huge part of that is "unconventional oil", i.e. oil which is far more polluting during its extraction compared to other oil. If the world actually committed properly to limiting global warming to 2C, there would be no point in extracting this especially polluting oil. Besides that, they are allowing some very unique forests to be cleared to have the oil extracted from, with the promise of later rehabilitation that never happens, as the intermediate company that is responsible to pay for it goes bankrupt. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/rob-magazine/article-is-justin-trudeau-a-climate-change-hypocrite/ https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/rob-magazine/articl... https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/nov/14/canadas-shameful-environmental-secret-tar-sands-tailings-ponds https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/nov/14/canada...
