All quite normal for planet Exxon-Mobil.

Great to see our leaders from government and industry meeting to talk Climate Change and Energy. CSEE partnered with the Canadian American Business Council and will be holding joint meeting with Canadian leaders and American business and congressional leades in Washington D.C. on June 19. All in secret. All positive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10290429.post-62821348222708545212009-06-09T12:34:18.711-06:002009-06-09T12:34:18.711-06:00Um, I don't think it was "secret" fo...Um, I don't think it was "secret" folks. If it was, I doubt that Stelmach's office would have posted his speech. I also doubt that there is some huge right-wing conspiracy here, as the list of attendees included members of Liberal and NDP governments from across Canada, as well as the Director of the Pembina Institute. Sometimes, it is helpful for our government folks to hear from industry and academia in small sessions. It might even help them learn more about the issue and some innovative ways to address it, and surely you guys can't be against that. As for how CSEE is funded, it's on their website.Chandler Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473757931049841909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10290429.post-81812927608543172512009-06-09T08:34:19.360-06:002009-06-09T08:34:19.360-06:00Why was this kept secret?
