New *ethical* tarsands spokesthingy Kathryn Marshall is a woman with astonishing artistic aspirations.
Last week she staged a performance piece in the vicinity of the US embassy in Ottawa.
Sun Media was there to interview her.
I was surprised how gentle the reporter was - when his Sun Infotainment colleague Krista Erikson spoke to Margie Gillies, she savaged the award-winning performer.
There was a paid mouth and 3 actors paid to dress up in niqabs. That's an engineered publicity stunt, right? It's a marketing technique that decades of advertising companies have set up to promote their product.
So Kathryn Marshall is Mr Peanut, essentially.

Ah Kathryn Marshall--never ceases to entertain. Just recently, she started going on an "it's the end of the world" meme after Mayor Greg won another mandate in Vancouver. She basically said that folks will start growing corn and raising sheep in their backyards now. Also whining about the potential banning of "non-organic street meat"--her words. Maybe that "non-organic street meat" she seems to like eating is cooked in that "ethical oil"??
I have to admit, just from the perspective of the effectiveness of a piece of political rhetoric, the entire "ethical oil" construct is really quite intelligent (to whatever extent the Ezra Levant could be said to be intelligent). It manages to paint one of the dirtiest forms of oil on the planet as somehow the GOOD choice. I don't know how well it will work with either the Canadian or international public, but it is probably the best rhetorical framing imaginable for them to try and use.

WTF is "non-organic street meat?" I shudder to guess.
sn;dr.
Dr. D: Aside from Vancouver's criminal human trafficking, I think she's just Althousing about the dirtyfutteringhippies owning city hall enough, they'll immediately start regulating pleasure out of everything, (because conservatives are ALL-ABOUT-NOT-REGULATING-PLEASURE) including the menus of the trendy streetside mobile food vendors downtown.
