from 10/3: Canada Covered · host Postmedia
A deadline is looming for the federal cabinet to make a decision on whether to approve a major oilsands project in northern Alberta.

Dave talks to the National Post's Jesse Snyder about why the project is so divisive, what cabinet is saying about it, and the political ramifications of a yes or a no.
