Quebec's biggest radio show talks about ethical oil
This morning, Paul Arcand, Marie-France Bazzo and Mario Dumont talked about the idea. In French, oilsands are called sables bitumineux, or bituminous sands, which is more accurate than the Greenpeace propaganda phrase, "tar sands" (There is no tar in the oilsands -- just oil, sand, water and clay. Tar is a chemical derivative of pine trees; and there is coal tar that comes from coal. Neither tar nor coal tar are found in the oilsands, but tar sounds dirtier, so they say it.)
Mario Dumont was kind enough to refer to my book, and call it influential.
Anyways, if you know French, take a listen here.
There's growing interest in Quebec; I'll be appearing on Dominic Maurais' show today (he'll ask me questions in English, and translate my answers into French, which hopefully isn't as halting as it sounds!)
