I didn't say I wasn't going to write my MLA. I know how the provincial and federal government system works. My MLA (Herbert) and my MP (Fry) are opposition members who are already grilling the government for a full independent investigation and doing whatever they can to get results. Just because I don't specifically say something doesn't make me ignorant to it.
In fact, in a moment like this, my MLA and my MP know what to do. I voted for them, I elected them to do just that.
I think spreading my concern to where my money is spent is a logical next step. You see a lot of companies change their affiliations when public pressure put on them. Corporations have to be responsible four quarters every year. Politicians only feel the pressure once every leap year.
I don't understand some peoples need to water me down and oversimplify everything I say, and act like just because we have differing opinions I must be some kind of idiot, or even worse, an oilers fan.

Its more than the NHL isn't going to care. They may write you a letter and give lip service to something, but they don't care. Molson products likely are a part of countless drunk driving incidents. If a pal of yours was hit by a drunk driving who spent the night drinking Export would you expect the NHL to come in and yell at the Canadians owners about it?
