.:*.:Oil Development.:**:.

1.

Oil in Canada has been extracted for as long as 149 years. The development has been located in many areas of Canada, but the main area is Alberta. Their reason for extracting oil is to make money and provide the citizens with oil. When the companies extract oil they cause significant linear disturbances to the boreal forest, there is a production of well pads, roads and pipelines, negatively impact species of wildlife that avoid linear features, such as endangered woodland caribou.

• Shouldn't the farmers have a say in what they do with their resources?
• Why do they want resource and land development to be our environmental concern?
• Won't the need for land development require more land?
• Why can't local plans and tradition values still continue to be the environmental concern?
• When do they feel they should start this activity of resource and land development?
• Why do they feel that humans need to eat sparingly?
• What other things can we do to help the natural environment stay intact?
• Who are the other people arguing that countries must use the land to exploit their resources?
• Do the people arguing get to choose what environmental concerns are?
• Why do they feel exploiting resources is the only way to stay competitive in the global market?

I would not under any circumstances let them drill oil from under our baseball field. Not only is it lucky and we've won in 3 consecutive seasons, but we always have a great crowd. Maybe the crowd is what makes us play so well. If they gave us a new diamond we wouldn't have the same fans and support in a different area. It's kind that they offered us a new diamond and money, but I would feel that we deserve to keep our field that we have always played and won on without the guilt of not giving it up to drill oil. I want to continue playing on our lucky field, I want our fans to be there to watch us, and I want us to continue to win. Giving up our field won't allow any of these things.

Canada and India

The British went into India to take control of the people. They established the British East India Company in 1600. Like the Hudson Bay Company in Canada, the British India Company wanted to start as an association of traders. The company later became a political power and took control over the land, and the people living there known to the British. Mahatma Gandhi pacifist leader confronted the British colonization in India. He quotes, "We hold the civilization that you support to be the reverse of civilization we consider our civilization to be far superior to yours. If you realize this truth, it will be to your advantage and, if you do not, according to you own proverb you should only live in our country in the same manner as we do. We consider your schools and courts to be useless. We want our own ancient schools and courts to be restored. The common language of Indian is not English but Hindi. You should, therefore, learn it. We can hold communication with you only in our national language.
