I'm getting the impression that the general posting public feels Murray Edwards is in no way responsible for the disaster caused by his company, and I just don't agree.

The only thing I don't really feel you've answered (that I'm honestly just curious about) is why now?
Murray didn't cause the spill. Everyone knows that, but he was financially involved with the company that did. That's undeniable.
That much I understand. I gather that you're upset that Murray is involved with a company that can have a negative environmental impact. This however, isn't new or different than anything that has been happening for more than a decade. That's where you lose me.
He has more involvement than anyone in the oilsands. Tailing ponds are nothing new to him, and have been destroying the environment in Northern Alberta for years.
So why now? You said it wasn't about it being close to you, so why haven't the critically damaging oilsands, which Murray has been far more personally involved in than Imperial Metals, been the source of your moral dilemma?
