EthicalOil.org
Monthly Newsletter - May Edition
Thank
you for your continued support of EthicalOil.org. May was a busy month for
us. We launched a campaign to raise awareness of the tremendous potential to
end Canada's reliance on conflict oil and use ethical oil by reversing the
Line 9 pipeline. Ethical Oil's Executive Director Jamie Ellerton appeared
before the House of Commons Finance Committee to discuss Budget 2012. And we
responded quickly to let Canadians know when Thomas Mulcair outrageously said
Canada's ethical oil industry is modelled after Nigeria.
As
always, visit our blog to keep up to date on the latest Ethical Oil news as
it happens.

message with your family and friends.
 
The
NDP's Thomas Mulcair recently made disparaging remarks about Canada's Ethical
Oil, claiming our industry was modelled after Nigeria. He has shamelessly
smeared the character and morality of the hundreds of thousands of
construction workers, engineers, accountants, geologists, welders, truck
drivers and the hundreds of other jobs Canadians do every day to help make
this country's energy work, and our country prosper.
In
response, EthicalOil.org reacted quickly and released an ad so Canadians
could see for themselves how Canada compares to Nigeria. Click here to watch it
and be sure to share it with your family and friends.
The
House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance invited Ethical Oil to appear
before the committee as a witness to address Bill C-38, the 2012 Federal
Budget Bill formally known as the Jobs,
Growth and Long-term Prosperity Act.
The
NDP's Peggy Nash
recognized that Ethical Oil has "grown very quickly in the public
eye" and asked what is behind Ethical Oil's success. Be sure to watch
the video to hear Jamie's response.
If
Canada has the third largest deposit of oil reserves in the world, why are we
importing it from Nigeria, Venezuela and other OPEC tyrants? Believe it or
not, the bulk of oil and gasoline Canadians buy in Ontario and Quebec is
imported, which means central Canadians have to buy a lot of their oil from
dictators, human rights abusers, and countries with horrendous environmental
practices.
The
obvious benefits of sticking with homegrown, ethical oil here in Canada is
why Enbridge has applied to the National Energy Board to have Line 9
reversed. Click here to read more and
