Emy Koopman explores how the oil industry affects the lives of Canadians and poses the question of how sustainable this industry is in times of climate change. Canada's countryside is stunningly beautiful, but no place has become so representative of unscrupulous gain than Fort McMurray, Alberta. The oil extracted here from 'tar sands' has made Alberta one of the richest provinces in Canada. The oil is deeply anchored in the identities of the residents, and President Trudeau is happily letting Alberta soldier through. Despite the enormous CO2 emissions that this causes and the poisoning of the important Athabasca River, the indigenous population of the province also contributes to the extraction of oil.
