What makes oil ethical?

Thought provoking ad campaign by ex-conservative ministerial aide, Alykhan Velshi.

My first impression is that the simple ads he's created are too simple. The oil industry of Canada isn't all good while the rest of the world's is all bad. Often they are the same companies!

Slide 4 seems particularly misleading. It implies that the oil sands project is positive for the environment. Check out this previous post for a dissenting view on the impact of Canada's oil industry on Canada's environment.

COLIN FREEZE of the Globe and Mail adds some interesting info on Mr. Velshi's past and his motivations.
