I should have specified that it was the way the oil was derived. In neither circumstance - whether overseas or local - is it truly ethical.
But playing with words, as I've just shown, can confuse the public.
It's a good way to sell your book or your platform.
Just ask Ezra or Harper. They're raking in the sheep wholesale.
"coward'ish"!!!!!!!
CTV is so damned yellow canaries are embarrased in their presence.
Everything is relative; and our oil is one hell of a lot more ethical than Saudi oil. Or Venezuela's oil. Or Nigeria's. Or Iran's.....
If you doubt that, I suggest you go live in any of the above nations for some time. Or speak to someone that has.
Where do your eggs range freely? Who herds the eggs? Is this a job for Mike Rowe?
P.S.
I'm interested in finding some yogurt made without pro-biotics. Any help would be nice. Thanks.
You're right.
We shouldn't be importing oil from those countries.
Nor should we be increasing oil production in our own country.

We are more than just increasing production. We're selling off the resource bit by bit to Commies and the likes.
OOOPS! You just got an unintended greenie......Al Gore must have taken posession of my brain for a moment.
To increase our production and displace Saudi sales to North America would be a VERY good thing, ethically........and strategically.
Wonderful when things come together.

I should have clarified again.
I'm well aware of the short term economic benefits of increasing our production.
And I'm also well aware that we would be doing this because we are democracy loving Canadians, who would not support any despotic regimes!
Or it could just be that we actually want to suck ourselves dry..
The fundamental truth here, is that the world will need to reduce its dependency on oil as gasoline. Once we do that, we can keep the remaining resources for that 10% we put towards making these fancy keyboards we type on that the oil thirsty knee-jerkers seem so worried about these days.
As you can see, there isn't much left and its dwindling fast - or as the Gr. 5'ers say - a non-renewable resource. So, let's keep it available for the plastics instead of the SUVs. Any talk about legitimizing the sucking of our own nation will only make that transition much more difficult.
And when we all run out of that resource.. Guess what?
We didn't make the ethical choice.

Good piece by Ezra on the 5pm show. Look it up.
Probably more about Bell than CTV.
CTV (obviously) and even CBC are mum on the story. Kudos to the Star for keeping up with it though.

What would you suggest? That we become a third world nation.
Sorry MF, you just don't strike me as the Amish type.

For those who are worried about plastic for their keyboards. And hemp is a renewable resource.

Google alternative energy and you will find that we already have the technology to do without gas and oil to a large degree.
I think the bigger question is about our own ethics and morals in view of being
confronted with the truth. Why do we need an ad to ask the question? People
companies and governments should not have to be prompted to do the right
thing. And TV networks used to have some courage and guts.
The way I see it, governments and companies should in this case demonstrate
they are in favour of human rights and call the Saudi bluff of court action. This
would force the Saudi position and practices out into the light of day and the
world could share the information about what scum bags they really are.
On the international stage, its time to confront the bully as it were.
As for ethical oil, the world runs on oil. Even those who preach against oil and
the continued or increased production of it, use plastic equipment to type the
messages out on, so get used to oil as long as we have it that is.
