Canada's oil and gas industry applauds the efforts and achievements of our athletes and the coming together of diverse individuals and nations in Vancouver this winter. We believe in the Olympic Games as a celebration of human competitiveness, camaraderie, innovation and sportsmanship. We do not believe in high-jacking the games in order to drive an agenda. CAPP will gladly address issues with environmental lobby groups after the Olympic Games.

Responsible development of British Columbia’s crude oil and natural gas resources is extremely important to B.C.’s economic well-being and to its economic recovery. Our industry has a strong track record of responsible development in B.C. We strongly encourage policies that strike a balance between energy development, environmental performance and economic growth.

Few photographic journals are as influential as National Geographic, due to a reputation that has been built on balanced and objective photojournalism. These qualities were unfortunately not evident in the perspective on the oil sands presented in the March edition this year. We think it is important that a more complete perspective be seen and understood.
