becca, the issue of oil drilling and related wells within our city limits continues to be an issue.

The latest, there will be one out on the edges of one in the suburbs..less than 500 metres from a large shopping centre.

There will be new subdivision homes built close by. If you read the phrasing of the locals there "they're not against the oil industry, but...". The terrible reality is that the oil industry barons are all-powerful in our city. Most of Canada's corporate head offices for the Canadian firms in oil and gas industry...are in Calgary. It represents Canada's national foothold in oil and gas. (which includes the infamous oil tar sands in northern Alberta).

People in this city are very reticent to be protesting with placards, vs. in British Columbia.
