Today is going to be a big one. This is, after all, the heart of the business of Big Oil. Here is where the predominently foreign owned corporations have built towering glass monuments to symbolize their extreme wealth and power. We don't feel much love from them. But we do honour their commitment to their cause. My morning wish is that some of them take off their suits today, put on their jeans and come to the concert. If they can take some deep breaths with us and feel the music and feel the emotion of the people, maybe they will also start to feel the beating heart of Mother Earth. Maybe they'll start to see something greater and more powerful than money.
We also honour the men and women who work in the tar sands putting their health and lives on the line No matter what they try to tell you we have never ever wanted you to lose your jobs. We honour your families and your lives. We just want your bosses to clean up the mess that's been made and to stop expansion until they prove that can be done. Stop the empty television ad campaigns and do something real. We all know you are lying. We just want the oil-glazed governments of Alberta and Canada to stop supporting Big Oil at the expense of human rights. Remeber, if they can do this to the First Nations, they can do it to you. Honour The Treaties.
Calgary - come on down to the demonstration. It is gonna rock. |
Wow, so much wrong with this. I'll simply point out that he doesn't know what he's talking about in the first bolded sentence.
Should representatives of GWL, Brookfield, Artis REIT, OMERs, Oxford, CREIT, Cadillac Fairview, H&R Reit, Mannix, Telus, Manulife, Standard Life, Sun Life, HOOP, and god knows what other CANADIAN companies that have nothing to do with the day to day operations of Suncor, CNQ, ECA, CNOOC, Cenovus, Husky, TransCanada, etc. come down to his ignorant pow wow and clean up their mess of, of, of what?
