Our Second Blog for Marks!
Hi everyone. This is our second blog for marks. Remember, you will answer TWO blogs only.
Please comment on the following:
The oil sector traditionally has been one of the largest employers in Alberta. Many of you may, in fact, obtain employment in that sector. The oil sands, however, has been responsible for considerable environmental destruction and decay. Do you think that the provincial government has more responsibility towards ensuring jobs for Albertans or ensuring the natural environment is protected? Consider your response from an economic and a social perspective.
