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?

Not to mention the complete idiocy of his comment about these glass towers being monuments to their extreme wealth. WTF are you talking about Neil Young?
Tinordi, Troutman, or whoever else seems to think that objections to Neil's comments are without merit because everyone is saying "coal is worse" etc. While that's happening, it's not really the point. I think people are getting tired of these outsiders rallying against the oilsands because it makes for a nice easy target. Not only are these individuals annoying but they're also uneducated and not without bias. It's even more annoying when there are bigger issues in the outsiders own back yard that we feel warrants just as much if not more attention. The old "clean up your own back yard first". I don't think anyone in this thread arguing against what Neil has said is against good environmental practices. It's just too easy to brush off these complainants when they spew some ridiculous rhetoric like I've pointed out. Come prepared, educated, and without hollywood bias.
Just like if someone came into the flames side of the message board and started rallying that the flames are horrible and we should sign free agents and trade prospects for 30 year old guys that can score because we can't score right now. Yeah, the poster would be correct that we need scoring, and without knowing any better one could argue that the poster is indeed correct. But that's not the whole story and if anyone did post something like that they'd be ridiculed for being so out to lunch as they clearly have no understanding of what they're talking about, just a casual fan that is pretty much just looking at the standings at one point in time.
