Canada election puts spotlight on the oil-climate divide

On the eve of Canada's federal elections, Conservatives and Liberals are neck-in-neck in the polls. But in the prairie province of Saskatchewan support for the Tories is steadfast, centered around the fate of the oil and gas industry.

Though Saskatchewan isn't the country's top oil-producing province -- it accounts for roughly 12 per cent of Canadian oil output, compared to neighboring Alberta's nearly 80 percent -- the industry is crucial to the region's economy.

And many voters here feel the last four years of Justin Trudeau's Liberal government, with the stricter environmental policies it has rolled out, has hurt them.

"I'd like to see the oil and gas back up, because Trudeau's trying to shut it all down," said 71-year-old Sarah Wall.

"He's tearing our country apart; West and East are fighting against each other."

Wall, a retired cleaner, lives in the electoral district of Conservative Party leader Andrew Scheer, in the provincial capital of Regina.
