WE MUST NOT GIVE IN FOR ANY REASON DURING OUR BOYCOTT, THEY WILL TRY ANYTHING TO ENTICE US TO BUY
FROM THE SELECTED BOYCOTTED COMPANY. WE CAN"T EXPRESS STRONGLY ENOUGH, HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT WE DON'T GIVE IN, FOR
ANY REASON, FOR THE CONSECUTIVE 30 DAYS.
"Don't just think about today, think about the future."
JUST A LITTLE SOMETHING SENT IN FROM SOME OF OUR SUPPORTERS
1) Here's why we have to do something. We are getting hosed more
than we think. Remember the value of the CDN $$. In 2001 gas was .51 litre, crude wasw $45 barrel (est.) and dollar was .65.
If you do the comparative math now,taking into account that our dollar, thus buying power (crude in US $)is approx 30% higher
we are really getting taken. Considering exchange rates, the $45 barrel was $68 CDN and the current $63 barrel is $73. Yet,
in 2001, $68 oil was .51 cent gas and in 2007, $73 oil is $1.05 gas. This is the clear and simple explanation why the oil
companies, for 2 years in a row during this era, have posted the HIGHEST profit levels in the history of ANY corporations
!!!!!!!
2) "Today I celebrate my 80th birthday. I have seen alot of things in this country.
The good and the bad. Fought in the Korean War for democracy. Well let me tell you, democracy is dead. What we have is dictatorship.
When was the last time a government listened to the people? I watch my children and grand children struggle to make ends meet.
They have no savings and now just for everyday needs they have to borrow from family and banks, finance companies , credit
cards etc. They get deeper and deeper in debt. I have never seen this country as bad as it is now. For the love of god, this
is a country that has so much promise. Stand up people and do something. Gas prices through the roof, eight month waits to
have my hip replaced, manufacturing jobs gone to Mexico, China and everywhere else that will work for slave wages. We are
living on credit, but one day the bubble will bust and the 1929 crash will seem like a tea party compared to what is coming,
for we cannot pay for all this debt with just service jobs. This country is now run by an elite few. Stand up and take it
back and make it work for all Canadians. If I was 40 years younger I would take up the banner and lead the revolution. Thank
you to the wonderful people that have started this and for the chance to express my views. Good Luck."
3) " Though most of us have expressed what we think should be done about the
national gas-gouge...talking about it is one thing. Doing something about it is quite a different matter. Make
it clear that you have taken the giant bull by the horns on their behalf and you expect the public to not just stand
by like the audience at a rodeo show. They should get in there and help bring down that bull. There is no room for an
audience in this show."
4) " I"ve got an idea, once the company has been selected, I will protest
out-side
the station with a big sign to let others know.post this on your homepage and if it gathers any interest lets select a location
and go out in large numbers...just a thought PS: this thing is really taking off..."
