   There are already upwards of 18 foreign countries operating in the   
   tarsands of Alberta.  Paying the paltry royalties that keep Albertans   
   happy that they 'STILL don't have a provincial sales tax'.  Meanwhile,   
   their air, water, and land is quickly being destroyed in the excavation   
   for the dirty oil that so many countries want and need.   
      
   And Albertans think they're in the driver's seat.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

   Minister says India wants Alberta energy   
      
      
   EDMONTON - The government of Premier Alison Redford continues its trade   
   push into the lucrative Indian market, but it's nowhere near close yet   
   to a done deal.   
      
   India wants Alberta's energy, but International and Intergovernmental   
   Relations Minister Cal Dallas says new pipelines are key to getting it   
   to the world's fourth-largest energy consumer.   
      
   Speaking to reporters from Singapore where Alberta has opened its latest   
   trade office, Dallas says India is ready to do business.   
      
   He says Canada is considered the preferred supplier because of its   
   political stability and environmental sustainability, but port access is   
   a big barrier.   
      
   A recent McKinsey and Co. report says by 2030, India will have to meet   
   half of its energy demands through imports.
