Aldyen Donnelly: What to do about the oil sands

A recent announcement that 50 members of Congress are opposed to growing imports from Canada’s “filthy” oil sands is a matter that can only be addressed by a federal, not provincial, government initiative—using data that Eddy Isaacs in the government of Alberta can provide.
