Canada Revenue Agency: British Columbia

Barry Cooper Dept: British Columbia is full of sybaritic scatterbrains, Cooper wrote, soft consumers and rent collectors, drinking lattes in the rain. Many believe in spirit bears and water sprites and require grief counselling when trees blow down in Stanley Park, according to Montreal Gazette. The campaign opened another front on Wednesday, though, when Ethical Oil sent a legal brief to the Canada Revenue Agency, urging auditors to go after Tides Canada, a charity that collects tax-exempt donations and provides grants to environmental groups and university of Calgary Prof. Barry Cooper wrote a funny piece for the Calgary Herald on Tuesday, in which he humorously derided British Columbians for their opposition toward a pipeline that would carry Alberta bitumen to the B.C. coast. Cooper is expressing a widespread Alberta frustration with public opinion on the left coast, which has forced the federal Conservatives to quietly sideline a publicity campaign that attempted to portray anyone opposed to the pipeline as a foreign-backed radical.
