Ethical Oil - John Baird's office responds

Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird's office issued a statement regarding the Saudi lawfare against EthicalOil.org:
... the office of Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said that he would defend the right of "the press and third-party organizations ... to speak their minds."
A mite milquetoast, but at least it's something.

He is walking the line of pandering to Levant while being friendly with Saudi Arabia. He is giving a little red meat to Ezra's followers. The ethical oil debate is phony. We compete with the Saudis to sell. Ezra, Canada's best known feminist, is quacking at Saudi Arabia for not letting women drive. They threaten lawsuits. It's just a forgettable skirmish that will amount to nothing...except sell Ezra's books.
