Faux-green Conservatives make nice with tar sands

New documents indicate the Conservative government plans to exempt the oil sands from restrictions on two key pollutants. Environment Canada projects a 60-per-cent rise in emissions of volatile organic compounds and a 5-per-cent increase in nitrous oxides from the oil sands by 2015. Every other sector of heavy industry in Canada will be required to achieve cuts in levels of the same pollutants. Sound about right?
