Instead of co-operation between provinces we are seeing Quebec and Ontario attack Alberta's oil sands on the international stage. Well here is some in your face material for Alberta to use right back....oh wait, we are not that immature, we wouldn't do that to our fellow Canadians. Why do Liberal provinces think they can attack Alberta without consequences?

Oil Sands A Cleanish Bill Of Health!
Move over Ontario, Alberta is taking the reins and galloping towards economic independence, the rest of Canada is welcome to come along with us! Saskatchewan has already joined us. BC, oh who knows about BC from one day to the next? We already have huge numbers of our Atlantic cousins working here, with room for more, that leaves Quebec. If Quebec would look outside their province towards other provinces, they might actually see some kindred souls. Alberta wants less federal government interference, so does Quebec. Alberta wants provincial jurisdictions respected so does Quebec.

It is an absolute shame that Alberta is getting slagged over the Oil Sands. But you are right, using facts about the Belle Province would accomplish nothing.
They are more worried about provisions protecting culture in a agreement with the E.U. and having some preamble include UNESCO than anything productive.
Like Ontario, Quebec is full of smoke and mirrors instead of any real environmental policy.
According to Norman Spector, Jean Charest, the slimy little worm, has a new-found affection for the oil sands:
"... here’s the more important reason for the shift in Mr. Charest’s position ...:
A few days ago, the French-based oil company, Total, purchased Calgary’s UTS Energy for nearly $1.5-billion — $830-million over its last offer in a pursuit extending over nineteen months. With the acquisition comes a 20-per-cent interest in the Fort Hills project, a huge oil-sands property that will cost $8-billion to $10-billion to develop.
On the board of Total sits Paul Desmarais, Jr.
The family’s Power Corporation — in partnership with Belgian investor Albert Frère — owns 4 per cent of Total through Groupe Bruxelles-Lambert.
Mr. Lavoie — who writes for a Desmarais-owned newspaper — would not be quick to point this out. But that’s the kind of power that can make Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff and now the Premier of Quebec go all gooey on Alberta’s oil sands...."
