Amidst all the palaver over the past few weeks about US foundations investing in environmental advocacy groups which have lambasted Canada’s oil sands, I find myself decrying both the overwrought emotional hyperbole of some Ministers, and the highly emotive, unconscionable factual distortion of some NGOs.  Neither brand of rhetoric can be condoned.  Happily, Rick Mercer recently weighed in on a few of the absurdities being bandied about.  Click here, if you’re in the mood for a moment of much needed comic relief.

Rick Mercer never ceases to put things into perspective with such humour you see the absurd magnified!
