I have no idea if the CBC is considered "liberal" or "conservative" [[not a fan of these labels anyways), but they're definitely huge defenders of the Tar Sands. The CBS has been a very strong mouthpiece in defense of the status quo in Alberta. IMO, Canada, if it continues down this path, may eventually be a quasi-Petro-State. You already see the effects of Tar Sands, with less money going towards innovation, and non-oil exports harmed by the increased Canadian dollar.
