Canada s Production, Distribution, And Energy Resources...

Canada’s production, distribution, and use of energy resources, such as oil and natural gas had been undergoing long history of development that still persists until today. The industrialization of the sixties, and market-oriented economy of today initiated heavy reliance on natural resources extraction across the country, whether it is oil and gas, nuclear power, or timber production. Digging deeper, Canada is dependent on oil and gas production, with oil sands making up 90% of Canada’s reserves that are mainly concentrated in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin as well as well as in the Pacific Morgan Sedimentary Basin, that stretch along Yukon, Northwest Territories, British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan (National Energy Board, 2014). Alberta appoints majority of oil sands production at the national level, then it is exported to the international market, mainly to the US, utilizing pipelines as modes of transportation. Needless to say, that the exploitation of oil and gas created polarizing relationships between the economy and the environment at the municipal, provincial, and national levels. The phenomenon of the oil and gas production in Canada plays into environmental concerns of Climate Change in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, violations of First Nations land rights, vulnerability on an international market, and long-term ecological consequences, such as air and water pollution, oil spills and leaks, and etc., over â€Å"economic† benefits.
