The issue's not federal or provincial. The implication of your statement is that these people “get away scot-free”, and they simply don't.
I did environmental monitoring in the oil sands myself in a previous life, and I was issued a huge book of guidelines that industrial facilities had to abide by. The implication is that these people or these companies put up plants willy-nilly without environmental licences and without any environmental monitoring whatsoever, and that's clearly not the case.
I have another question. You made a statement about the federal government not doing enough to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and “fight climate change”.
In Canada what would a successful fight against climate change look like?
