Good stuff for both the anti government and and anti industry types.

The fight against fracking: Jessica Ernst lives in rural Alberta -- she alleges that her well water was contaminated due to fracking. For the past eight years, she has been the "David" fighting a landmark legal battle against three "Goliaths": Encana, a major player in the gas drilling industry, the Alberta Energy Regulator and the government of Alberta. Jessica Ernst and her lawyer talk to Francine Pelletier as they prepare for their hearing in January in the Supreme Court of Canada.

Former Alberta Premier Ralph Klein truly was a vile clown. RIH Premier Ralph.

Good luck with that.  The Canadian Parliament is even more closely intertwined with corporations than the American Congress is. 

Alberta is not going to do anything that disrupts their current lifestyle.  And that is especially true with the new NDP government they have running the show there now.  Especially when they will have to compete amongst the other provinces for federal support if they don't keep the oil ship afloat.
