Alberta's Tar Sands
Appearance
Fragment of a discussion from Course talk:POLI380JAN2011Owen/Survey/Environment--Government Policy
Hey Everyone,
Sadie - I agree with you. I don't think the Site C dam or the Enbridge pipeline is quite common knowledge in Canada. However, if we wanted to we could measure awareness of these issues with questions like "Are you aware of the development of Site C" and "... the Enbridge Dam in North Vancouver". We could also ask Canadians to weigh the environmental costs with the economic benefits, although we would have to do some research to what those are if we wanted to do that question.
I do like the question "What do you think about the extraction of oil from Alberta's oil sands? good/bad/unsure", but I think we should modify it to "How supportive of you of the Alberta tar sands?" with a scale of 1 - 5 1 being very supportive etc.
