TL;DR Alberta, Canada.

How it started How its going

Albertans: This is a beautiful place. I can't believe no one else lives here. The air is so clean.

Ontario: I hear Alberta has oil. Let's invade it for Bay Street.

Ontario Born Premier: Ontario doesn't want us to rip up the province. We'll show them, won't we‽! *winks*

I hope it's not lost on you that Alberta's problems are a bunch of people from Ontario arguing if a few international investors get to exploit it or not.

The Alberta doctor that did complain about a potential link to the health issues and the oilsands was abruptly fired. Apparently his services were no longer needed in a big rush.

Funny how that works.
