Buy Canadian Tar Sands
If your jaw is still gaping, it’s completely understandable. Propaganda at its most base level can do that. Take a moment … ask yourself, who are these people? Where are their offices? How much political favor has their crude cash purchased?
Over the holidays let’s put our heads together: how can we make the people who made this ad pay a price.
What would be a tactical response of equal spectacle?

Produce a counter ad that talks about Chinese ownership of some of Canada's "Ethical" oil-patch projects. Or something that mentions some of the Saudi partners in Canadian oil-patch projects.
Or how about "ethical oil pruducers" Syncrude and Suncor and their other projects in the ethical tourist hub of Libya.
Or something that asks the question: Since when is climate change not a human rights or ethical issue?

Its a shame the well oiled consumers that this commercial was designed for would never understand a counter commercial.

Exactly! The number of big oil companies that have invested in the tarsands is large and filled with bad actors.
In addition, there's no guarantee that the US is even going to be using a lot of the Canadian oil anyway, since it may all be exported to other countries. Meaning we'd still be buying it from other places.
I think "Since when is climate change not a human rights or ethical issue?" gets to the heart of it, but asking most people to think about that issue may be too much. Not that I'm cynical or anything.
