Your task: The debate over whether Albertan crude oil should be
exported to oil refineries throughout the world has proven to be extremely divisive.
You must form a working group of 3-4 people which will represent the opinions of one of the following groups at the town hall meeting: Oil company Government of Canada Government of the United States Aboriginal peoples Environmental protection groups Citizens of Alberta Citizens of Nebraska (the pipeline is proposed to go through
their back yards – potentially interfering with an aquifer and other environmentally sensitive areas)

Your task (cont’d) You will be responsible for conducting research as to
your group’s position on the pipeline Are you for, or against?
You will also be responsible for developing an argument that you will present at the city hall meeting aimed at convincing others of your opinion Why are you for the pipeline? Why are you against it?
