Subject: [NDenvirocaucus] Alberta Oil Sands gets it's own Facebook fan page
To: NDenvirocaucus at yahoogroups.com

  Facebook is a great way to reach out to people, and a lot of good
groups pop up to represent good opinions. Amidst all the groups
protesting the oilsands that have popped up on Facebook, a fan page
to counteract their message has been started. The page, whose
supporters are relatively few at the momment (less than 100), goes on
to describe it's overview as such:

"The Alberta Oil Sands provide a safe, stable, and secure source of
energy for the global market.

Produced commercially since the 1960's, Alberta's Oil Sands have
recently been a hotbed of activity both in terms of production and as
part of the global discussion on energy and the environment.

Fans of the Alberta Oil Sands understand that, while not a be-all end-
all solution to global energy demand, the oilsands are an important
part of the energy mix. Moreover, we understand that the
technological innovations being developed will drastically reduce the
environmental footprint of these projects while enhancing energy and
economic security for Alberta and the rest of Canada."

The site goes on to describe it's mission:

"Tell your friends to visit websites that tell the REAL story..."

Obviously this is part of an effort to counteract pages like
travelingalberta.com. Although these forementioned pages have little
or nothing in common with the NDP enviromental agenda, members would
be wise to know their opponents talking points. Understanding your
adversary is a fundamental of victory, something not just the NDP,
but our enviroment could certainly use. We need to win more people
over to thinking about the state of stability on this planet right
now, and that will only happen with earnest discussion across the
table.

TTFN,

Jonathan Grant
