Breathtaking natural beauty, tolerant, safe and prosperous. That is the picture we have of Canada in the Netherlands. But is it really that paradisical, or does Trudeau's country know how to put on a mask of civility? Writer Emy Koopman travels in Paradise Canada from Vancouver to Montreal and looks at the problems brewing beneath the surface. The series delves into all the urgent themes of our time and examines the state of Canada with racism and gender equality, migration, climate change and the welfare state. Emy Koopman speaks to famous Canadian intellectuals such as Charles Taylor, Margaret Atwood and Jordan Peterson.

The Price of Black Gold

Sep 13, 2020

Emy Koopman explores how the oil industry affects the lives of Canadians and poses the question of how sustainable this industry is in times of climate change. Canada's countryside is stunningly beautiful, but no place has become so representative of unscrupulous gain than Fort McMurray, Alberta. The oil extracted here from 'tar sands' has made Alberta one of the richest provinces in Canada. The oil is deeply anchored in the identities of the residents, and President Trudeau is happily letting Alberta soldier through. Despite the enormous CO2 emissions that this causes and the poisoning of the important Athabasca River, the indigenous population of the province also contributes to the extraction of oil.
