Beyond the Text 

This week the class has been discussing the effects of climate change in Canada because of our seminar book reading having to do with this issue.  From just looking into the recent news, it is obvious that this problem continues to remain a huge issue.  One article that really caught my attention was that of my own province of New Brunswick.  Premier David Alward traveled to Alberta to discuss the placement of moving Alberta’s oil towards eastern Canada.   There has been questioning if this is actually a beneficial plan.  For one it would create more work in Eastern Canada that is greatly needed.  However one of the opposing factors is he fact that the process could effect the environment severely by greenhouse emissions.  Is it really worth causing potential damage to our environment that has not already been done?  It is uncertain what the outcome will be for this potential plan, although from the words of other leaders of Canadian provinces it does not look hopeful.
