Ethical Oil: The Case for Canada’s Oilsands

By Ezra Levant

 In Ethical Oil, author Ezra Levant focuses his attention on the ethical cost of our addiction to oil. While many North Americans may be aware of the financial and environmental price we pay for a gallon of gas or a barrel of oil, Levant argues that it is time we consider ethical factors as well. With his trademark candor, Levant asks hard-hitting questions: With the oilsands at our disposal, is it ethically responsible to import our oil from the Sudan, Russia and Mexico? How should we weigh carbon emissions with human rights violations in Saudi Arabia? And assuming that we can’t live without oil, can the development of energy be made more environmentally sustainable?

“Exposes the lies and hypocrisy of the media-coddled opponents of the vast resource, but raises the uncomfortable question of what alternatives to the oilsands these moralists prefer.”
Peter Foster, Financial Post
