I do plan on writing both the Flames organization and the NHL over this disaster. The NHL wants to show that it takes the environment seriously ( http://www.nhl.com/green/report/) and I think they should hold their ownership group at least somewhat accountable for their actions while they are part of the league. |
I'm trying to figure out what your end goal in this is.
Murray Edwards is an investor in Imperial Metals. He doesn't run the company, nor does he work for it in any way, he just writes the cheques hoping to get a return on investment. How can you genuinely blame him for the disaster?
How should the NHL hold an owner accountable for making an investment in a company that caused a disaster?
As said, he is one of the biggest players in the oil sands, so why stop supporting him now? The oil sands have done significantly more damage than this, so why now? What is different? Are the oil sands not a problem because they aren't your backyard?
Will you also be writing letters to Kicking Horse Resort? Nakiska? Fernie Alpine? The University of Saskatchewan?
I'm not trying to degrade the point you're trying to make, I just want to understand:
Why now? And why take it out on the Flames?
