"One should doubtless keep an open mind...though open at both ends, like the food pipe, and have a capacity for excretion as well as intake." -- Northrop Frye, 'The Great Code'

Ethical Oil - John Baird's office responds
Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird's office issued a statement regarding the Saudi lawfare against EthicalOil.org:
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.
