Said one sugarmaker: "It used to be you never tapped before the first week of March. Now you have to be ready February 15" (Bazilchuk, 2000). But Quebec's displacement of Vermont may not last long, if Canadian temperatures continue to rise. Also, global warming could also disrupt critical aspects of the Canadian tourism industry, such as skiing and tourists who come to see Canada's cold-weather sports and activities like ice sculpting, dog sledding, and the traditional crafts of its native peoples.
Finally, Canadians may suffer a culture shock as a nation in the coming decades "as global warming forces radical lifestyle changes involving their homes, their appliances, their workplace and their means of transportation" (DeSouza, 2006).

Nikiforuk debunks these assertions, by showing the extreme detrimental affects such mining will undoubtedly have on the Canadian landscape. When the land stops producing the rich bitumen, what will oil drillers ask for next? Without reducing our dependence on oil and petroleum products, it will undoubtedly leave other areas of Canada's rich wilderness vulnerable to the same environmental dangers. Instead of remaining dependent on crude oil and petroleum products, Nikiforuk
During pollution peaks, this department informs residents and announces any traffic restriction measures decided on by the town hall. Air quality has distinctly improved over the past two years and these restrictions are becoming less frequent" (Energy Agency of Municipality, 2001).
