Large gas guzzling cars in Fort McMurray which is the centre of the Athabasca tar sands, the world's third largest oil reserves, and the most environmentally damaging project on the planet. The tar sands have around three times the carbon footprint of conventional oil supplies, are responsible for the second largest rate of deforestation on the planet and are hugely toxic and polluting of the environment, as well as a disaster from a climate change perspective. The huge jobs boost has attracted people from all over the world and lead to a multi cultural town.
