MP Tony Clement, Canada's current President of the Treasury Board and former Industry Minister shares the same address as the Ethical Oil organization but it goes a long way back; to the days when he was running to be Prime Minister.

In 2004 Clement was running against Harper to become the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada. The address for donations to his campaign was; Tony Clement Campaign, PO Box 1047, 31 Adelaide St. East, Toronto, ON M5C 2K4

Today, 2012, eight years later Ethical Oil maintains the same address. PO Box 1047, 31 Adelaide St. East, Toronto, ON M5C 2K4

Ethical Oils website is maintained by a 26-year old conservative law student at the University of Calgary named Kathryn Marshall. According to the Ottawa Citizen, Marshall is married to Hamish Marshall, Harper's former strategic planning manager.

According to Ian McGugan (askiangmail.com) , a reader of this website from Vancouver, “it was Ms. Kathryn Marshall’s terrible television performance on CBC that got me digging into the whole issue.”

And after some internet digging he discovered these same addresses listed. The ties under the Conservative/Reform/Alberta/Industry go deep and a long ways back. Ezra Levant, the author of “Ethical Oil” withdrew from the Calgary SW nomination race to allow Harper to win a seat in Federal Politics.

ETHICALOIL.ORG AND THE HARPER GOVERNMENT

"Ethical Oil" didn't just spring from nowhere - it was carefully conceived in the manner of major advertising campaigns and the work of Republican strategist Frank Luntz (who coined "the death tax" in order to push lower estate taxes, and encouraged the Bush Administration to re-frame global warming as "climate change", for instance). In fact, what we are presently witnessing around the Enbridge debate is the full-force implementation of American-style political campaign tactics - where everything is built around a single, simple concept - like "socialist" Obama-care (right!), "tough on terror", or Orwellian distortions like the "Patriot "Act - which, no matter how illogical, gain traction through relentless, monosyllabic repetition, delivered via the triple threat of corporate media, government and corporate-backed lobbies, "think tanks" and pr firms.

MORE STORIES OF INTEREST ON THE PLANS

China’s on an oil buying binge. And Canada is where China likes to shop.

Since 2002 China, through four state owned oil companies, has spent over $65 billion dollars to purchase oil and gas fields and production facilities around the world.

Almost 15% of China’s expenditures went towards securing oil from Canada’s tar sands, according to a joint 2011 report of the International Energy Agency and the OECD. China now owns significant stakes in Northern Lights Oil Sands, MEG Energy, Athabasca Oil Sands, Penn West Energy and Syncrude.

China’s buying spree isn’t an accident. It’s a government policy that’s developed haphazardly since the late 1980’s. China is determined to ensure that it continue to grow an economy that is increasingly dependent on energy from oil and gas.

In 2009, China imported 53% of its oil. By 2035 that’s expected to grow to 82% or 12.8 million barrels each and every day. China’s foreign policy is, in part, determined by the need to resource that growth.

That means moral issues like human rights take back seat to oil security. “No matter if it’s rogue’s oil or a friend’s oil, we don’t care,” an energy adviser told the Washington Post in 2005 on the condition he not be identified, citing the threat of government disciplinary action. “Human rights? We don’t care. We care about oil.”

Ditto for the environment. China’s interest in oil security overrides all other concerns.

THE REAL FOREIGN INTERESTS IN THE OILSANDS

By Terry Glavin, The Ottawa Citizen January 12, 2012

The $5.5-billion Enbridge pipeline project is all about sending Alberta bitumen in huge oil tankers to China. Beijing’s own state enterprises are among the project’s major backers, and Beijing has been buying up Alberta’s oilpatch at such a dizzying pace lately it’s hard to keep up. In the spring of 2010, China’s state-owned Sinopec Corp. took a $4.65-billion piece of Syncrude. Then the China Investment Corporation, which is run by the Chinese Communist Party, took possession of a $1.25-billon share of Penn West Petroleum. Last summer, the Chinese National Offshore Oil Corporation gobbled up Opti Canada for $2.34 billion. And so on.Then, last month, Sinopec spent $2.2-billion to take over Daylight Energy Ltd., and last week, Petro-China, with the final push of $1.9 billion, became the owner and manager of the MacKay River oilsands project. This is what Ottawa doesn’t want you noticing.
