Tar Sands Companies & Harper Government Try to Promote the Tar Sands on Economic Grounds. 8 REASONS WHY ITS A COMPLETE FABRICATION #1 Tar Sands receives $2 BILLION a year in Taxpayer subsidies #2 More than 50% of the companies are foreign owned -- taking profits out of Canada #3 I thought subsidies were for emerging industries, not mature ones. #4 Why subsidize THE most profitable industry in the world? #5 Why subsidize climate change & the destruction of the planet? #6 Which province has the highest per capita number of foreign workers? Yes, you guessed it ALBERTA. So the few jobs that are created are going to foreigners. #7 Investing in Energy Efficiency creates WAY MORE jobs at a fraction of the price -- and it insulates businesses and homes from energy price rises. #8 The Tar Sands creates less than 3% of Canadian jobs and with the oil price falling it will now be the opposite as they lay off people.
