Oil sands opponent Al Gore at conference
p2pnet view Off Topic:- The exploitation of the Alberta tar sands is the “largest source of polluting energy on earth” and represents “one of the most serious threats to the human race”, declared ex-US vice-president Al Gore during a trip to Toronto, recently.
Now, only five months after making the statement he’s back in Canada, in Montreal, this time — under the aegis of Investors Group, “a Power Corporation affiliate that is indirectly involved in Alberta’s oil industry”, says the QMI Agency, going on >>>
The man behind the documentary An Inconvenient Truth will participate Thursday in an international conference organized during the 2010 Millennium Summit.
The event’s main sponsor is Investors Group, owned by the Desmarais family and their Belgian partner, Albert Frere, who “are the largest shareholders in oil company Total, which hopes to take three billion barrels of oil from the Alberta tar sands over the next 30 years” says the story.
“I understand that there is a debate on (the issue) but it is not my debate,” QMI has Daniel Germain, president and founder of the Millennium Summit, “an international development conference that attracts big-name speakers”, stating.
“That said, Investors Group has been an extraordinary partner for two years at the summit”, he says, adding, “It is a very active company in Quebec, very engaged, that supports food banks.”
(Cheers, Marc)

I dont endorse any of the links supplied.
From above “he’s back in Canada, in Montreal, this time — under the aegis of Investors Group” I guess now his greed just could not be contained and he wants pieces of both pies.
Peace out!
