Are you an Albertan?
Then you know the oilsands belong to Albertans — each and every Albertan, and I include Indigenous peoples as Albertans.
Not the oil companies, not the pipeline companies, not Jason Kenney or the UCP, not Rachel Notley or the NDP, not Justin Trudeau or Catherine McKenna, or the Liberal Party of Canada, not the Bloc Quebecois.
Not the rest of Canada, and certainly not environmentalists or foreign-funded environmental NGOs, but Albertans, period.
Only Albertans can and will decide when, where and how to develop their resources.
Albertans must learn to develop them sustainably, responsibly, and in a way to maximize profit to Albertans — first and foremost.
Alberta, strong and free.
