Cool nights and warm days are needed to make syrup and the earlier warmth reduces the length of spring and limits the snow pack that moderates the temperatures of the trees during the evening. Said one sugarmaker: "It used to be you never tapped before the first week of March. Now you have to be ready February 15" (Bazilchuk, 2000). But Quebec's displacement of Vermont may not last long, if Canadian temperatures continue to rise. Also, global warming could also disrupt critical aspects of the Canadian tourism industry, such as skiing and tourists who come to see Canada's cold-weather sports and activities like ice sculpting, dog sledding, and the traditional crafts of its native peoples.
Finally, Canadians may suffer a culture shock as a nation in the coming decades "as global warming forces radical lifestyle changes involving their homes, their appliances, their workplace and their means of transportation" (DeSouza, 2006). Global warming has already disrupted the life cycles of traditional peoples of the world, such as the Artic seal-hunting Indians known as the Inuit, as well as the habits of cold-dwelling polar bears, seals, and whales. Urban Canadians must radically rethink the ecological footprint their lifestyles are leaving on the
Instead, the problem must be acknowledged, and its potentially negative consequences must be dealt with, before Canada's environment, economy, and cultural attractions and institutions are irrevocably altered for the worse.

Nikiforuk debunks these assertions, by showing the extreme detrimental affects such mining will undoubtedly have on the Canadian landscape. When the land stops producing the rich bitumen, what will oil drillers ask for next? Without reducing our dependence on oil and petroleum products, it will undoubtedly leave other areas of Canada's rich wilderness vulnerable to the same environmental dangers. Instead of remaining dependent on crude oil and petroleum products, Nikiforuk
During pollution peaks, this department informs residents and announces any traffic restriction measures decided on by the town hall. Air quality has distinctly improved over the past two years and these restrictions are becoming less frequent" (Energy Agency of Municipality, 2001). These are all local methods of measuring pollution. Another means through which one can measure the level of CO2 in the air and which was used in Italy is
Whereas the level of air pollution in Canada is smaller than the ones in other countries, it can still be considered to play an important role in the tourist industry. People generally come to the country thinking about fresh mountain air and no pollution. However, if one of those wanting to visit Canada would have came across the information that, in 2007 alone, air pollution in Toronto was responsible
