Greenies Getting "Dirty" Money!

Hey Quebec...are you with us? Shale gas? Is that eco-friendly Quebec? Are you ready to join Alberta in the energy fight or are you going to restrict development of your resources because of your eco-snobbery? You are so used to looking down on all of us because your province was blessed with hydro-power opportunities (stolen from Newfoundland) instead of coal. Now, you need to decide,  do you stay with your eco-snobbery, or do you get in the energy game? Think mega good paying jobs for Quebecors!

Good luck, because if you do jump into the game be prepared for the greenies to come after you with lots of American dollars.

US cash vs Oil Sands!

...If the campaign against oil tankers were to succeed in Vancouver, overseas exports of Canadian oil would be blocked and Canada would be stuck with only one major customer for Alberta oil: the United States. That's the trade-off.

Like most protests, the one against oil tankers has all the look and feel of a Canadian grassroots movement. The campaign against Alberta's oil sands also seems to rise out of the people, but the interesting thing is that there are very few roots under that grass. Money comes in from a small core of U.S. charitable groups. One of those groups -- the U.S. Tides Foundation of California (Tides U.S.) and its Canadian counterpart have paid millions to at least 36 campaign organizations. (See list at right.)
All the money, at least US$6-million, comes from a single, foreign charity. The Tides U.S. campaign against Alberta oil is a campaign against one of Canada's most important industries. It's fair for Canadians to inquire about who's funding this campaign and why. The trouble is, nobody knows.
...These Big Five have poured at least US$190-million into Canada's environmental movement over the last decade, but their American logos are nowhere to be seen. Instead, we see a pageant of Canadian icons: dogwood, herds of caribou, wild salmon, First Nations and loons. U.S. tax returns show that the David Suzuki Foundation has been paid at least US$10-million from American foundations. This hasn't exactly been out in the open.
Very, very interesting read, and she has way more information at her site. Like this breakdown of who is getting all the American money:

And look at this little breakdown of donations to fight the oil sands: (Corporate Ethics obviously has no ethics!)

And they jap about how "deniers" get big money from "big oil"? Talk about hypocrites! They never actually provide any facts about the "big oil" donations to scientists who are "deniers". Look at those organizations who are getting funded from the US to shut down one of Canada's economic engines, the oil sands. Hold them to account for that funding. Boycott HP, let them feel the heat of pressure groups against them for a change. 

It is time for us "deniers" to start calling out every eco-nut and their eco-schemes. They are hiding now, when they aren't busy blowing up school children to make their twisted point! It's time to take away charitable status if they will not reveal their funding donors. It is time for us to go after any politician that spouts "green" plans, (McGuinty anyone?) make them explain how the extra cost will benefit our society, don't just take what they or the greenies say as the truth! The greenies are getting "dirty" money from foreign charities to shut down the oil sands.....time to fight back, Quebec are you with us?

Pro-Lifers Can't Lose!

Liberal appointed Senator Nancy Ruth advised a gathering of woman's groups to "shut the f--k up" on the abortion issue or risk a backlash from the government. The media has it wrong, she wasn't talking about a backlash from the government, but from Canadian citizens who do not want their tax dollars paying for abortions in other countries.

Senator Ruth is right, the lefties are too stupid to shut up about abortion. In Canada a woman can get an abortion paid for by taxpayers up until the baby takes it's first breath. No other country in the world allows that much latitude. What are feminists fighting? They get to kill their babies at any point in their pregnancy and get it paid for by us. The Conservative government is not willing to change that position, but as Senator Ruth told the feminists, shut up about it, because the only way it can go in Canada is for restrictions on abortions. They are too stupid to understand that, Canada has NO RESTRICTIONS right now, so the only way it can go is towards limited abortions. Feminists remind me of all the blond jokes. They don't know when they have a good thing going. Poor Senator Ruth tried to tell them but even she has to admit defeat.

Pro-lifers can't lose! If the feminists keep this up, Canadians are going to demand some limits to abortions, it's the only way the issue can go. It can't get more liberal unless feminists are going to support killing new born breathing babies, but even they can't be so cruel.

If the feminists aren't whining about needing more abortions world wide, they are yapping about their funding cuts by the mean old Conservative government.
Match International got $400,000 cut just weeks ago. So what do they do? You tell me because:

1. They do not publish their financial statements
2. They do not list any Canadian projects
3. They advocate, but do not provide any actual results

Placement Student Opportunities
In collaboration with the University of Ottawa, Carleton University and Algonquin College, MATCH provides placement opportunities for students in the following areas of study: women’s studies, social work, international development, international relations, political science, fundraising and marketing, sociology, international law, public policy and public health. Students considering a placement at MATCH should contact the Centre.


They don't appear to be helping anyone except maybe themselves. Show me the results. Show me a program in Canada that helps aboriginal women. Show me something for my $400,000. They appear to be government bloodsuckers:



So, $50 bucks to Match equals $200. Nice gig if you can get it.

Then we get an ultra lefty crying about all those rape victims.

McTeer, who works with the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood, said she was at first "delighted" to hear that Prime Minister Stephen Harper planned to make reducing maternal and childhood morbidity and mortality in the developing world a key initiative when he hosts next month's G8 and G20 summits in Ontario.

However, the federal government's plan to exclude abortion from its funding for the initiative means women who live in conflict zones where rape is a tool of war, or young girls who are married off to older men and find themselves pregnant at age 10 or 11, will be left to their own devices when trying to access a safe abortion, McTeer said.


Safe Motherhood? I love that idea, where do I sign up! Actually, if you go to their site, no mention of abortion is made anywhere, so why is McTeer denigrating her own organization? Why is killing African babies so important to McTeer? The White Ribbon organization actually has annual reports, not like Match, maybe that's why Match lost it's funding.

I'm not sure that White Ribbon should be happy with McTeer. She has done more harm than good to their cause.

For heavens sake, quit with the rape gig. I understand that rape is a horrible crime, and if lefties would only support the tough on crime bills, we might get some of those sickos behind bars. If a woman is raped, the chances that she will get pregnant are pretty slim, but it is used as a big hammer to support their position.

Would eco-environment let a mouse out of their cage.

Dirty Oil Vs. Oil Spill

Let's see, Alberta oil sands are formed by Mother Nature and we are busy trying to make sure we stop the seeping into our rivers, that has been going on for thousands of years. Enviro's call it "dirty", because it causes more CO2 to enter the atmosphere, than conventional oil drilling. Remember, CO2; can not be seen, it does not smell, and it is not a pollutant. Every time you breath out, you are exhaling CO2, which plants love and kindly change into O2, or oxygen for us, so that we and every other animal/creature on earth can live.

Now eastern Canada insists on getting their oil from countries that require them to ship the "blood" oil in huge tankers across the seas, Valdez anyone? Or how about that oil spill from an offshore rig that exploded? How many ducks/turtles/dolphins/seals is that disaster going to kill? More than 2000?

I miss Klein. He might have been a liberal PC, but he had balls. He would not have sued Syncrude over a few ducks, so why is our province suing them? What is the motivation other than sucking up to the eco-nuts and Liberals? I want the province to sue themselves over all the birds their wind shredders are killing everyday, not just in a once in a decade fluke storm.

As part of the study, Erin Baerwald, an ecology student, hunts for dead and injured bats in Pincher Creek's turbine fields.

"Last year, more than 500 were found. This year, we're following a similar trend. And that's just this wind farm," Baerwald said.


The article mentions that the bats are not endangered, but neither are ducks. So, one wind farm kills 500 bats a year times 10 wind farms, we get 5000 bats a year, year in and year out. All those bats would have eaten millions of insects, now we will have to put up with more pests, and more disease.

What are the eco-nuts going to say now, just when Obama opened up new areas for off shore drilling. Quite a problem for them. They love Obama, so they can't attack him for his policy, but the potential damage to the environment from this spill could be way more than a few ducks. I wonder are they out protesting against off shore drilling and telling Obama to stop? Probably, after all their hero Gore just bought another property with 9 bathrooms and six CO2 spewing fireplaces.

I will keep my oil sands oil over offshore oil any day, it's less polluting, and less risky. Nobody dies from shoveling oil laden sand into a truck so it can be cleaned, and, that is the old way of doing business, now they use steam to extract the oil, without any drilling.

I hope the oil spill can be contained before it does anymore harm. NO-ONE wants pollution.

Dirty Oil Sands Oil Not Wanted?

Eastern Canada wants the oil sands shut down, or so we are constantly told by such experts as Premier Charest, Suzuki, and every eco-nut in Canada. They do not understand the money that Ontario and Quebec industries make on the oil sands. Or maybe they do, or why would Charest be looking for Quebec investors in the oil sands?

After Quebec Premier Jean Charest publicly decried the oilsands projects last year in Copenhagen, the Quebec government is now asking entrepreneurs in the province to participate in a commercial mission in Edmonton to set up some business relationships with Alberta’s oil industry.

In a message destined to entrepreneurs from Quebec, the Ministry of Economic Development said “that the resumption of the oil sands development projects in Alberta” provides us with “some good business opportunities."

The ministry goes on to provide a list of the projects for which Quebec companies could become suppliers such as Suncor and Husky.


Well, Quebec better act fast because the Chinese are very interested in the oil sands, and businesses do not really care who invests the money. Another interesting development lately has been "green" investors who are wanting oil companies to prove their projects are green, in an attempt to delay development. Why would eco-nuts buy shares in dirty profit motivated oil companies, then protest what they are doing? Power. Lawsuits are all the rage with them as well, but as their government money starts to dry up, expect their lawsuits to dry up as well. Lawyers are expensive.

Here is an interesting development that should have Ontario and Quebec sitting up taking notice.

China's clout draws oil sands IPO

CALGARY -- China's growing influence on Canada's oil and gas sector is about to show up in a new way as an oil-sands company prepares to go public in Hong Kong, rather than on Bay Street. The move breaks from the pattern domestic energy companies and their bankers have long followed, and could have lasting implications for the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Sunshine Oilsands Ltd., which snapped up more than a million acres of oil-sands leases between May 2007 and October 2008, is ready to launch a steam-assisted gravity-drainage pilot project. The Calgary company is looking to raise hundreds of millions of dollars on Hong Kong's stock exchange, a first for a Canadian energy company that highlights just how anxious Asian investors are to grab a slice of the oil sands.


Ever notice how the TSX seems to be tied into the price of oil and gas? When the price of oil is going up, so does the TSX, oil down, TSX down. Now that is a very simple explanation, but the energy sector is a large part of the TSX, and that appears to be about to change, not to the good of Bay Street.

Imagine that, after being vilified and sued by enviros, energy companies are going to Hong Kong to raise funds. What are the chances that Chinese companies are going to go to a board meeting and demand that their investment should be "greener"? Right.

I wonder, when Sunshine Oilsands wants some special equipment developed, where are they going to go, to Ontario with their high priced union shops, or to China, who invested in their company, and can provide what they need for much lower costs?

The most interesting and hilarious result of this initiative is that the enviros can't say a thing against it. They are the ones who consider China a developing nation and cry that we should not restrict their development. It just so happens that through investment, they will be developing the oil sands. So, keep on slamming the oil sands, they are not going anywhere, and if Canadians don't want to invest in them, China and India will. Now, about that pipeline through northern BC to get our product to Asian markets, think BC will stop it or join in the profitable game?
