They are giving the impression that the majority of Albertans hate Suzuki, which I hope is not true. All this was across from a badly written article by a government relations consultant who specializes in telling people to not criticize the oilsands. I feel like the voice of any sort of opposition is being stifled in this province – using every tactic except logical arguments about the real issues. Frankly, I wish people would stop arguing over the science of climate change and the scientists who are studying it. Instead, I would like to encourage everyone to put their mouth over an exhaust pipe or a smokestack, breathe in, and then ask themselves if it’s a good idea to put more emissions into the air.
