C) Canadians feel guilty and apologize for everything, so its easy to say "You Canadians are evil look at those Oil Sands" and we'd shut up and take it and change our behavior to our detriment because we think people are mad at us. Meanwhile I'm sure that if some Canadians went down to the States to protest the California mess, after getting their heads beaten in by riot police they'd apologize on NBC and talk about what a great job the Americans are doing in California.
I meant why don't Canadian energy interest groups pay celebrities like Jane Fonda or Leo Dicaprio to protest or make movies about US oil. If these celebrities can be bought and given an agenda, I wonder why we aren't playing in that market.
