Talisman: Big, bad oil companies - The Globe & Mail, Nov.26 W. P. (Bill) Godfrey Friday, November 26 Calgary -- It's open season on Talisman. From the Ontario teachers to Lloyd Axworthy right down to politically correct concerned citizens, the denunciations rain down on the company (Holding Talisman Accountable -- Comment, Nov. 23). When poor Jim Buckee plaintively asks, "Why Talisman, and not the dozens of companies falling all over each other to invest in Russia, China and Cuba," he is met with more sneers and vilification. He probably knows the answer: His company is an oil company and it's based in Calgary. Not only that, it's making a profit. It's just too much of a target for those who are fond of bashing Alberta and oil companies. All of central Canada knows that all oil companies, especially those in Alberta, exist only to inflict environmental damage. And every good big-government-loving Canadian knows that profits are a bad thing.
