[CBC News] Anglican archbishop Desmond Tutu sparked controversy across the province during his visit to Fort McMurray. 

Tutu, who won the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in the fight against apartheid in South Africa, has taken strong stands on climate change and against projects such as the Keystone XL pipeline.

Randy Lorganger said Tutu's comments are relevant as long as he is not a hypocrite.
