I make no apologies for being opposed to fossil fuel production. In fact, I am very opposed to any continuing federal subsidies for the fossil fuel industries, because those subsidies are the only thing  propping up profitability. Without the subsidies, investments would  have already tipped to rollout of   renewable energy.

The energy market is not a 'free market'. Oil is on welfare.

of course there have to be trade-offs... as much as you hyperbolic Greenies can't fathom, there is a 30 year time-frame needed to wean-off the fossil-fuel teet! As a part of reasoned planning (all towards net-zero), the federal Liberal government had negotiated tarsands expansion conditions with the prior Alberta NDP government - see Alberta's Climate Leadership Plan that includes a cap on related tarsands emissions. The plan/cap that Jason Kenney refuses to implement!
