Conspiracy theory assignment on Temagami

So this is my first post here,hello the Two people who will come to read this blog. so for the last two weeks in media studies we were tasked with finding things to make conspiracy theories with I choose to make mine using Temagami park, which is going to be changed to general use. My theory is that instead of it being mined it's going to instead be drilled for oil, which will wreck the environment, kill the animals living there and will harm the park more than is happening right now what with the acidic water leaking from the abandoned mines. the oil that is to be drilled from Temagami is to be sent to china where it is lower priced than in the US and will be used to power there cars as China is the second Largest oil consumer in the world. In November of 2011, Patricia Mohr of Scotiabank is quoted as saying:
“Despite these positive developments, Western Canada’s oil patch will remain vulnerable to the commercial risks from selling the bulk of its oil to just one key export market - the United States - a market likely to post slow growth at best in coming years,” noted Mohr. “This vulnerability suggests the need to build a transportation system to connect the Alberta oil sands to one or more export terminals on the B.C. Coast for onward shipment to the growth markets of Asia-China, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and the Philippines. Timing is important, as Alberta crude must be placed in Asian markets ahead of other competing international oil plays.”

How convenient that this happens just before Temagami is announced to be changed to general use. did i say convenient? I meant suspicious. China also has a lower price for importing oil than the Us at $0.946, while the Us's price is currently $1.00. those in charge currently are the ministry of natural resources, along with Hon Rick Bartolucci, MPP for Sudbury where Wolf lake and Temagami are located, could they be in on this, and what about Alberta's flag resources the company that's being allowed to "mine" in Temagami once the park is changed to general use?  

In conclusion I feel that this theory will likely not fly mainly due to lack of evidence and that the general public will keep believing that Temagami will just be mined for minerals
