...Schiefke was a board member for the Climate Reality Project, an American group that virulently opposes Keystone XL, and generally the Alberta oil sands altogether.
Schiefke clearly takes those values to heart. In a April 2014 interview, he argued the government should force the Alberta “tar sands” to subsidize Quebec and Ontario because…well just because.
What I would like to see is the federal government come up with a plan that no longer tries to expand on the tar sands, and instead uses a significant proportion of the revenues generated from the tar sands to invest specifically in renewable energies produced in Ontario and Quebec.

Why he wouldn’t re-invest in renewable energy produced in Alberta is unclear, but he’s running in Quebec and Ontario has more votes. Given his record and stances, it should be self-evident by this point that Schiefke thinks the oil sands are “dirty oil”.
