The Great Oil Sands Debate
Task:
I am a big time oil producer, coming to Fort McMurray to set up a new project. I have called a town hall meeting for Friday, March 1 to discuss it. I am going to base my decision about whether I should start my project or not based on whichever team can provide the best argument supported by research.

I am going to base my decision about whether I should start my project or not based on whichever team can provide the best argument supported by research. Because I really want to hear all points of view, the discussion needs to follow these rules:
- The speaker must be standing at the podium (optional)
- Each side will alternate.
- Every town member needs to contribute.
- If you found something in your research that goes against what the person before you said, please share it so that your team can win.
- After each person has had a chance to speak, the floor will be open for debate, where opposing sides can ask and answer questions of one another.
