    Tar sands are a combination of clay, sand, water, and bitumen. As a type of unconventional petroleum deposit, tar sands are found in many places worldwide, the largest deposits are found in Alberta, Canada. The Alberta tar sand deposits contain more than 70.8% of the world 's reserves of natural bitumen which representing 40% of the world’s combined extra-heavy crude oil and crude bitumen reserves. It is the only bitumen deposits that are economically recoverable for conversion to synthetic crude oil at the price range of $25-$35 per barrel. Although substantial amount of the world 's oil is in the form of tar sands, it is not all recoverable. Study shows that the world’s total natural bitumen reserves are estimated at 249.67 billion barrels, Canada maintains 176.8 billion barrels. Northern Alberta’s 173 billion barrels of recoverable bitumen requires intensive processing to convert to synthetic crude oil. However, there are serious social, economical and environmental consequences in the tar sands development. By grading the Alberta tar sands development on each of the six measures of Enlightened Sustainability Policy, this report will provide a detailed evaluation of the overall sustainability of the Alberta tar sands development.…

    The Alberta Oil Sands Reserve is one of the world’s largest hydrocarbon deposits ever discovered, second only to Saudi Arabia. Due to the impact on the environment, the mining of this unconventional oil resource has been mired in controversy. With the onset of the 2008 global fiscal crisis and plummeting world oil prices, many economists and environmentalists alike began predicting a moratorium of further Oil Sands development. This paper explores firstly, the economic and political underpinnings that secure Oil Sands’ continued development and secondly, a comparative case study of oil wealth management with another oil economy, Norway.…

    Prime Minister Laurier had high hopes for the growing importance of Canada on the world stage when he said, “Canada will fill the 20th Century.” He expected Canada to continue having a more important role in the world over the next 100 years. Although Canada did not become a global “superpower” in the 20th Century like the U.S.A it nonetheless improved its global reputation around the world militarily, politically, and economically. This can be definitively illustrated by the fact that Canada was included in the G7 in 1976, the Group of the 7 most economically important countries in the world that meet regularly to discuss global economic and social issues and includes Canada, Britain, Germany, France, USA, Japan, and…

    In the kingdom of energy, coal is gradually losing its position as the most used energy resource in the world. On the contrary, oil has become one of the most significant energy resources in people’s life. Meanwhile, researchers have found many other natural resources that can become substitutes of oil. Oil sands are one of these resources. “The oil sands are a thick, viscous mixture of bitumen hydrocarbons combined with water, sand, heavy metals and clay” (Alberta Canada, 2012). A great controversy between the economic and social benefits and environmental costs of oil sands has been developed for a long time. From a comprehensive perspective, the development of oil sands should be recommended and encouraged. It will benefit the…

    In my opinion Canada does not need to include eco-rights in the Charter of rights and freedoms. Introduced by Pierre Trudeau, it protects the collective quality of life of all Canadian citizens, lives up to its standards, and the introduction of eco-rights, as of now is not necessary. Currently, there are much greater issues to be addressed, before further delving into ecological matters. Furthermore, eco-rights will be a limiting factor, when generating economic revenue for Canada, and as a result, jobs in industries such as oil, natural gas, and other resources will decrease. Also, the environmental performances of Canada is not as bad as we may think. According to the Environmental Performance Index, out of 178 countries, Canada is 24th, which is quite satisfactory, considering Canada’s exceptional economy.…

    In regards to converting to green energy, this is both beneficial to Canada and it is a more effective manner of dealing with ISIS. By cutting off this dependency on oil, it dampers ISIS’ source of income and it would cut their funding. Without funding, the organization would become severely handicapped and furthermore, it would benefit Canada’s own economy. There are the obvious benefits to the Earth and environment by switching over to green energy, but it would also create a magnitude of new jobs. The Union of Concerned Scientists predicts that there would be an estimate of over 200,000 new jobs by 2025 in just the United States alone by converting over to green energy . There would be more opportunities for Canadians, it would increase…

    Just like in Elizabeth Bishops poem, “The Map,” where she talks about how shapes and colors on the map aren’t really what we see in reality (213, 214). How one sees objects on a map is all in perspective, the same as how one might have seen the line back then before the Civil War. That line was capable of suggesting meanings or connections beyond itself. Where it’s not about actual geography but about refusing to standardize the images each person projects onto a place or…
