It might make people feel guilty, but they will change their minds when they get to the pump.

Got to laugh when big business pressure group like this is asking for donations. I assume they do not need it, but think it will make it look like a grass roots organization.
What does the forced labour in Venezuela refer to?

Re: Ethical oil campaign aims to silence critics
it assumes most oil outside of Canada is produced in the middle east and everyone in the middle east is a terrorist or lives under a dictatorial regime..judging by the poster campaign..not quite sure who it is targeted at?? cant be anyone outside North America surely..as nobody apart from the Americans would be stupid enough to be sucked in by this?

The more they try to greenwash and PR it, the more pathetic they seem to end up looking.
Look, we all love cheap oil, so let's stop pretending it's anything other than the crappy dregs at the bottom of the barrel and just get on with it.
Ethical oil my ar5e. Go tell it to the residents of Fort Chip.

Well, apart from the bit about everyone in the middle east being a terrorist, most oil IS produced in the middle east and under oppressive regimes.

It's like the current Natural Gas TV propaganda campaign. Tell us how clean, cheap and abundant it is when its ultimate aim is trying to make "fracking" seem like a good thing to do !
