  • "Puppet Group!" Drink!

  • Go figure, she can't seem to get facts straight or answer questions that are asked. She tries using circular logic to defend the tar sands. I'd say "Ethical Oil" isn't what it claims to be. What the hell was she smoking, and why isn't she sharing. On the other hand, it looks like we have more Progress Without Progress.

  • John Oliver could have just sat there smiling and let Kathryn Marshall make a complete fool of herself. Maybe she took a page from Sarah Palin and wrote those two sentences on the back of her hand.

  • New drinking game!

    Take a shot every time she says "foreign interests" or "puppet group". :)

  • Count how many times she says "foreign interests" and "puppet group". Makes her sound like a puppet herself.

  • This woman just took one of my tweets at RTed it - she completely editing it and changing the meaning (from against her to sort of supporting her). I didn't know who she was - now I see this. I can't believe it.

  • Ms Marshall must be trying to imitate Ann Coulter and she did a superb job of it. Kept repeating the same diatribe and wouldn't answer the funding question. People like her will go a long way towards turning viewers away from Sun (Fox) news. She should take a course in Aristotelian logic. A sad example of a civilized debate . She has no respect for facts or truth.

  • Ethical.org is funded by enbridge... Damn iPad

  • Ethical.org... Is funded by unbridle and their friends.. Grass roots company...lol she smokes grass while she plays with her puppets. Ethan is the man... Watch him all the time

  • Does Kathryn realize she is hurting her own cause with that absolutely despicable display of quantum rudeness?

  • learn how to COMMUNICATE!

  • wow stupid shit dodger WHAT A DODGER

  • Does she really think that Canadians are that stupid? I've heard high school debaters argue with more substance. Typical right wing garbage.

  • Wow! What a psycho bitch!!! She must be auditioning for FOX and friends.

  • Never Seeing Someone so Stupid, and so full of it, that female working for the pipe line company saying there not given them funds, you are one dum women to think that your not, you sat there given stupid answers, pretty much made a fool of yourself, that thinks We don't believe they give you money to your group, complete full of it, and hope pipe line goes somewhere else, south to states and not near are forest and west coast waters !!

  • Do they really think that if they use a young blond girl we'll believe the complete BS spewing forth from her face hole?

  • She owes Vic Toews a blowjob for taking the focus off her trainwreck interview.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm going to have nightmares about "Hijacking the Canadian process"

  • The CBC is so bais and left sided that you can not hear a fair debate on anything that the loonie lefties dislike. I can only hope that the next budget reduces the CBC funding to the point that they have to let assholes go.

  • @justanoldman1 Since when did balanced news casting constitute as left wing?

    You're a fucking buffoon, You have no grasp on any sense of reality.

  • @justanoldman1 You're a fucking idiot.

  • Marshall went into an 11-minute interview with 30 seconds of material. She had time to actually make an honest and reasonable argument without the ad hominem jabs and sensationalist rhetoric.

    Bennett fails too because he responded on her level. He could have actually communicated more to sway viewers if he didn't help perpetuate that mind-numbing bickering.

    Kudos to Soloman for cutting right to what was keeping this from being balanced discourse.

    American-quality debate on Canadian TV. Sad.

  • Oil companies don't have a stake in the environment, or the public interest. They don't care about our environment, our tourism, our economy. They don't speak for Canadians, they speak for the rich who baqnkroll unethical oil.

  • KVMarshall = Bitumen Barbie

    Bitumen Barbie has surrounded herself by Sinopec yes men and is stuck in her self imposed tar bubble.

    The people of BC will take up arms to stop the threat of Chinese Supertankers ruining their coastline for generations.

    There was 2000 people protesting in Prince Rupert alone the other day.

    Bitumen Barbie and her neo-con clownshow have grossly misjudged how much we value our marine eco-system in this province.

  • she keeps jumping off the boat everytime he asks her about if enbridge is funding the small foundation she is in.

  • I don't think that will go over well in Canada. Mr. Bennet appears as a knowledgeable soft spoken Canadian, while Ms. Marshell sounds like a ignorant American Fox News bimbo! Just remember: If Harper gov. is coming after you its cause your doing something right!!!!! They're shaking in they're boots, getting desperate, but still unwilling to address the issue themselves - they send this half wit instead to show how little respect they have for non-conservative Canadians!!

  • This chick is the worst person on the planet.

  • "Ethical" Oil needs to hire a spokesperson who can think on her feet. I felt embarrassed for her.

  • This lying, pinocchio-esque clownshow fails to tell CBC that Communist China State Owned SinoPec is Enbridge's partner and paying her bills.

  • Neither of these people are representing a large number of regular hard working Canadians who are opposed to this project and do not consider themselves to be radicals.

  • bitch, your origination is a puppet group.

  • She is a total retard.

  • Create jobs and economic gain mplementing tecnologies for wind, solar, tidal, and subtle energies!!! leaving the last truly intact forest stonghold on earth, as it is; and protecting it is a far greater value for canadians!!! That chick should never be allowed to live than one down, ouch!

  • Canadian energy "development" to me; means developing sustainable alternatives; NOT, becomming the world largest supplier of dirty oil with brash environmental impacts. Canada is now following footsteps of other grossly industrialized nations (china, usa) employing an expand and conquer tactic supporting dying oil industry, opressive nations and funding wars with this supposed "ethical oil'.

  • I really wanted to hit that bitch - is that bad?

  • @sdmac21 shes so annoying, smack that bitch all you want

  • lol classic conservative bullshit

  • As if she played the "conspiracy theory card"!

  • What a spinstress!

  • Deathical Oil is getting shown for what it is

  • the fact that no one in that room smacks her upside the head is amazing. if she had her way, no international charities would exist but there would be a lobbyist for every city.

    I'm a student and I'm all for jobs and businesses but I don't want to kill my country to do it. She might die of stupidity or some drug-related overdose in a few years but I don't want to grow old in a country poisoned by preventable mistakes

  • i could stand her until she said implied that oil is the future of our energy development. corporate pawn, grow a brain and realize that we shouldn't be basing an economy on a dwindling resource

  • She kept saying "well why do you take foreign money"...gee...maybe because Harper cut Environmental funding by like 90%???!!!

  • Continue once More:

    This shrill lady has a very short list some one has drawn up for her and she has hit a block of hard reasoning which she can't seem to get around.

    The video is about the process of the hearings, not the pipeline. It is a political football and there are a lot of players. All chewing gum for the mind I'm sure but any value is very insignificant.

  • To Continue:

    Asia is the answer to a sustainable market. India has pumped more billions into its energy board with instruction to ply the world for new oil in order to do away with nuclear in a hot nuclear area. They have large properties in North Alberta Tar sands. Likewise China has bought huge tracks of land in the same area.

    Our market is now producing in Alberta! It is up to us to get it to the coast to ship. We won't be free until this happens.

  • Alberta has been trapped into a one way deal with the US on the supply of oil to their market. Our oil is polished, sweet and enriched where need be: Premium! Yet, with the one customer calling the shots we are held to about 75% of the price of west Texas crude. All this, because we are trapped!

    Consider there are more Americans working in the Alberta drilling scene than there are Albertans. What then is in it for us?

    To break out we need to put on tap a second sustainable market.

  • she's fascist

  • She just made a fool of herself.

    Share this, talk about oil at your dinner tables, it's very much a part of every second of our lives and the rest of our future.

  • It is 99% foreign money that is building the pipeline. There is virtually no Canadian money until the various Governments tell us we have to pay 2 billion a province to make it happen. None of the provinces have said how the line will be paid for or, who is going to be paid.

    The 5.5 billion opener is the least it will cost; Canadians say "so what" to cost over runs. This price could easily double or triple!

    I support the pipeline. I do how ever want more information.

  • @aratfull Just out of curiosity, why do you support the pipeline?

  • I wouldn't be shocked to discover that the 'average persons' who fund her are tied to the fascists she defends. She's deceitful.

  • WOW. She is a tool, a hypocrite, a liar, an evader, a deceiver - we're on to you and the 'radical', selfish, greedy, destructive, fascist corpses (foreign and domestic) you represent. This cow is NOT representing the 'average' human, let alone interested in hard working people (Canadian or otherwise) - go crawl back under the stone you seeped out of and tell your masters we'll be hunting them down soon... Some of us are not so anonymous, but we remember and we will come for those who destroy th

  • She didn't answer the question: are you taking money from Enbridge? She continually deflects and doesn't answer a simple yes or no. Obviously she is hiding something. She is ridiculous. I wouldn't want her speaking for me. I wouldn't donate to her group. Ethical Oil, my ass. She is an insult to Canadians.

  • Progressive Conservatives were NEVER as DUMB as the BIGOTS,BLOWHARDS and BIMBOS of the CONtemptible Harpo CON CULT. I think the "NEW IMPORTS" in the past 20 years have been the CONtemptible CONs that their Parent Nation was Glad to be RID Off.LMAO

  • we are all interconnected...screw the use of nationalism to esignate things as "Canadian" or "foreign". We're all exploited by this global system, let's get together and concentrate on what binds us together not whatever imaginary borders and boundaries keep us apart

  • Enbridge is a multinational company. They have no loyalty to Canada, their only loyalty is to the dollar.

  • She reminds me of Patsy from Absolutely Fabulous, but not as intelligent.

  • I wonder where she works now?

  • Kathryn Marshall is a corporate stooge for Enbridge ...that much is obvious even without her desperate diversion techniques on this video. It's interesting to see her not even once tackle or defend against the suggestion that this is more about destroying our eco systems than where money comes from...well, what could she defend? LOL

  • Where did they find this women? God she is a horrible puppet

  • La la la, if I don't answer you won't know.

  • "Are you funded by Enbridge?"

    -"This is about foreign interests..."

  • She's right 'IT SHOULD BE A CANADIAN INTEREST", but she thinks her point of view is canadian interest. She forgets 'SHE'S NOT CANADA'. She speaks for Enbridge. Isn't that China or something?

  • She's not very bright is she? She has the inability to answer a simple question. =)

  • Kathryn Marshall appears to be a crossbreed of Pinocchio , a parrot and a sub-standard Ann Coulter impersonator.

  • Comment removed

  • Pfft, a San Francisco based North American environmentalist group are "foreign radicals"? That's Rupert Murdoch spin at its finest.

  • It is balanced interviews like this that makes it apparent to me that the CBC must remain on the air. Would she have been pressed that hard if the news agency was owned by a corporation? Look at Fox news.

  • I wish I could vomit hate through time and space.

  • what a stupid bitch

  • Checkout this for the truth on Kathryn Marshall, thetyee.ca/Opinion/2012/01/17/­Ethical-Oil-My-Gas/

  • You think she's stupid, you should see the morons posting their nonsense in favor, on the ethicaloil facebook page.

  • she needs a good dose of "Shut The Fuck Up"

  • All she knows how to do - like a well trained 'Conservative' - is repeat soundbites and use big demonizing labels. How many times does she say 'foreigner' or 'radical'? It's all about emotions and lazy generalizations rather than reason and intellect. She's obviously the offspring of some important and well connected family. There's no other way to rise up the ladder while being completely void of intelligence

  • Seriously. Where the fuck did people like this woman come from? They did not exist 5 years ago!!

  • Meet our future environment minister.

  • Wow. She makes Sarah Palin sounds like Carl Sagan.

  • That's a very realistic-looking talking-point droid

  • Kathryn Marshall's email is published at the 'ethical' oil website: kathryn -at- ethicaloil -dot- org - and invites people to get in touch. Let's do that.

    Keep it civil but let her know she fooled no one with her parrot responses and exposed herself as a dishonest shill.

  • That was painful viewing. Kathryn has clearly been taught a few stock phrases and responses in order to not say anything her oily puppet masters did not want said. She's obviously a dishonest shill for a toxic industry.

    She's hiding the truth and she knows it. Integrity. What's that?! Shame on her.

  • He who pays the piper, calls the tune.

    Both "charities" should be questioned.

    Just because the lady wont admit her support,

    doesn't mean the other side is good.

    i see a game of good cop, bad cop. Both are cut from the same cloth.

    There are thousands of known ways that oil use can be reduced, or better utilized or replaced. Perhaps the safest way to transport it, is through a pipeline.

    But these people should be promoting cheaper, friendlier replacements, that work better than pipelines.

  • @rongrite actually pipelines are about the safest way to transport crude oil... the problem with the Northern Gateway isn't just about where these pipelines will be cutting through, and not even where they'll end up loading the crude on to ships where theres a moratorium on oil tankers, but how it displays an irresponsible expansion of our biggest resource by a government thats selling us out to the most powerful and evil communist regimes on the planet - the Communist Party of China.

  • The environmentalists have infiltrated the oil company's Public Relations - so they purposely put a retarded bimbo who doesn't know her ABC's thanks kathryn you did great!

  • Kathryn Marshall, way to never answer a SINGLE QUESTION. I encourage all of you to write to her and let her know that: kathrynmarshall. ca/bio/

  • She's a 'pawn' for oil groups. "Yes you are, yes you are!" (Aaaaah!! Where did CBC get this moron??!)

  • she just won't answer the queston and it makes her look so dumb.

  • Evan Solomon needs to get more aggresive when dealing with people like this, don't go all American "news" style but at least push harder.

  • Wow. What is wrong with her? At 5:00 she simply decides that her reality does not include a question she does not want to answer. THEN, she presses the other guy to answer the same uncomfortable question! Credibility: zero. Actually, it's probably negative.

  • @rongrite The 'war' industry funds the Sierra Club? Really? You think the 'war' industry wants to stifle energy extraction for the sake of the environment? What are you smoking?

    You seem to be ignoring the financial interests foreign entities have in making sure the pipeline is built so they can make money. Is this cognitive dissonance something you're aware of and choose to ignore, or are you just that daft that you don't understand there is more money in building the pipeline?

  • It is just so precious to hear an oil media puppet gushing about the 'deep pockets' of the environmental opposition to the oil pipeline.

  • Corporate whore, the red dress suits her.

  • "Ethical Oil" is an idiotic idea and part of the Enbridge scam marketing team.

  • Does Canada need this money this much? Foreign interests? all the oil companies have foreign interest groups paying into this. It's a bad argument. She needs to sleep on it and come back with a new debate topic. This one just don't hack it.

  • Man, I just went to try to donate to Sierra Club, and you can only donate from US or Canada. So much for accepting an evil foreign donations from this European who wouldn't mind the last temperate rain forest in the world surviving a bit longer, and who cares about his relatives in Canada, and their environment. This pipeline, the tar sands, and global warming are a massive threat to Canadians, and everyone else. Best of luck to the Sierra Club!

  • @waynewin "The blonde" as you put it is a puppet of the industry. A typical industry tactic these days to dress up a pigs ear by using female representatives. Its so obvious. "Ethical oil" is a joke and clearly a mouthpiece for anti-environmentalists. CBC asked a good question and even though the answer was obvious, she couldn't admit to it - ethical my foot!

  • @waynewin Its a simple question you git

  • @waynewin this is one of the dumbest thigs i have ever read. don't hurt your self.

  • @waynewin Right....  She's smart like a parrot.

  • Good hair, bad shill.

  • Harper calls them foreign backed groups but China pumping money into the pipeline project to support it isn't foreign money? LOL

  • a 100% canadian would be talking about the environment......

  • wow... scary woman

  • funny how its ok for the Canadian gov, lobbyists and foreign oil companies to come to the US and throw millions of dollars at our (corrupt) government... and there is also this issue about using imminent domain to steal land from American landowners. yeah, now that is ethical oil for sure

  • Honestly this woman did a horrible job but let's not call her names.

  • Scripted dunce. My goodness.

  • Good for Mr. Bennett. Reading the comments before hearing the clip, I thought the attacks on Ms. Marshall were a little harsh. Having now heard what she said and did not say, I am inclined to agree with the sentiments expressed by the critics although, perhaps, in not the same words. She would make lovely fodder for cross-examination. No judge would allow her the latitude she got from CBC. Answer the question with an answer not another question or accusation. Thank goodness we have Sierra.

  • THIS ISN'T FOX NEW YOU FUCKING IDIOT, REPEATING TALKING POINTS WONT WORK ON CANADIANS -- we're not mentally fucking retarded. Lets play a game: drink every time she says "this is about foreign special interests" instead of answering the question at hand.

  • The is a huge liability of Cyber Attack here.

    There is a solution for those technically minded SEARCH Cyber Mediation on YouTube

  • Pause at 3:30 and you pretty much have this summed up. (Gotta hit it on the right frame). Derp FTW! :D

  • Dumb bitch.

  • Hey ethical oil, fuck you.

  • There is a Solution to Cyber Intrusion.

    SEARCH on YOUTUBE: Cyber Mediation

  • the guy tried to tie extraction of oil to climate change....that right there discredits him. climate change is natural to the earth...if he tried to tie it to environment only it would kill his argument because it's the canadians environment that we are dealing with...not the world's.

  • @75rmc75 If you read the science instead of the oil company propaganda, you will know that most scientists now agree that oil extraction and use both contribute significantly to climate change. The other half of your statement is simply incomprehensible.

  • @75rmc75 I hear there's a Flat Earth Society meeting coming up.

  • Canada's economic interests? more like Harper's economic interests.

  • Ethical oil is a non-issue here. The real issue is BIG AMERICAN Oil doing everything possible to stop Canadians from selling oilsands products to other than the US. The US owns the oilsands and Gateway would allow other players to mine the bitumen and sell to Asia. It means wealth, jobs and economic development for Canadians and the US will never allow that. The US wants to keep the oilsands for itself and to continue to buy the oil from there at a discount. All the rest is a diversion.

  • Oilsands are a greed idea not a good idea.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • You may have removed my facts because it doesn't feed into the hysteria going on with the Gateway pipeline. However, it doesn't matter - even if the zealots fighting Gateway win and the pipeline is not built, there are currently 24,570 km of pipelines in BC carrying gas, oil and other petro liquids (check it out - this is a fact). The oil companies will simply reallocate capacity in existing pipes to carry the liquidified bitumen.

  • 9:15 "John, I'm going to give you the last word here." *turns Kathryn's microphone back up 30 seconds later so she can interrupt him; lets her talk until the end of the program*

  • Comment removed

  • @PawelG9ine Please watch your language. We really don't need that kind of talk anywhere, it's disgusting. You should be ashamed.

  • @jsthomso lol I dont know I see this kind of talk on youtube which I thought was normal bashing.

  • @PawelG9ine If you consider that kind of language "normal", I hope I never have to share a bus ride with you.

  • I posted on this already but I just finished watching Peter Mansbridge interviewing Stephen Harper , Wow isn't that something when he says the same thing this

    devious "Just a Grassroots Girl " does . The same media campaign . She is the scumbag female messenger . So most of the people calling the shots on Tankers coming to Kitimat

    don't even know what a spill would look like there and think the water is glass calm everyday of the year . Do some fucking homework . SPILL INEVITABLE .

  • @skobi excellent work. cut and motherfuckin paste!

  • Katherine Marshall , 26 yr old wife of Hamish Marshall ,She's a law student and he was the Manager of Strategic Planning in the Office of Prime Minister Steven Harper .

    Grassroots my ass . This is media manipulation , there are companies that get big bucks to advise brilliant ways to sell ideas to uninformed citizens. She has been coached on how to get around questions that get thrown at her . Right out of King Harper's Court . Katherine you are a well schooled agent with self interests .EVIL

  • @mrstudes Well said. Who ever her put her up (big oil/Harper) is insulting Canadians intelligence i think.

  • with people like this woman taking queues from the equally annoying Fox News, thus begins the end of the Canadian media

  • lol this woman is so dumb she like an parrot!

  • What is ethical about selling oil to CHINA? New "ethical oil" video. In youtube search type "chinese handcuffs" and "oil sands."

  • Kathryn, get an education.

  • wow she keeps saying the same thing over when he asks her to answer the question, she's def got something to hide.

    on another note i would smash that poontang hard.

  • yeah, and i too am wondering if she had to suck cock to get into her job...how else would they decide to send in such a clueless girl into the snake pit. These guys have been in their jobs for most of their lives...and Unethical Oil sent HER in? Are there dumber people than her in that organization? This is their best? Buhahahahaha!!

  • @Quartz482 I think the girl is an idiot too, but would you say such a disgusting thing if she was male? Please, guys, this kind of trash language just turns people off these forums.

  • Interesting how Ethical Oil just materialized out of thin air and on the eve of a debate about pipeline placement over BCs sensitive ecological reserves. Clearly they are designed to confuse British Columbians...its a Canada vs America issue, not a BC vs Alberta one, or about preserving one of the most beatiful coasts this world has. Its about whether or not you are okay with sticking a stinking Alberta pipe in the prestine British Columbia wilderness...yes or no, and u get no $ either way.

  • Kathryn is just another pretty face

    

  • Gotcha! "Ethical Oil dial-a-quote Kathryn Marshall is married to Hamish Marshall, Stephen Harper’s former strategic planning manager." from the Ottawa Citizen- Google it. Kathryn Marshall worked for the Fraser Institute, a conservative think tank. Critics of Fraser Institute have also named Exxon, the Koch brothers and Scaife as the Institute's donors.

  • @TheSecretStore Do you have any sources for this? (Not for antagonistic reasons, I'm doing some analyses of the Ethical Oil campaign and this would aide me.)

  • @waynewin

    the above uneducated person surely could not be a Canadian. Either that or he's Kathryn Marshall's brother. You are obviously stuck on beliefs which have no foundation. If Albertan so want their pipeline, then push it south through your own province. Leave us, BC, out of it.

  • Well, I am grassroots, and I have in the past donated to the Sierra club (and Greenpeace) and attended Sierra club meetings in the US, and so yes, I would expect the Sierra club to respond to the environmental crises and crimes within my country. Were they not responsive to issues here (as well as worldwide from where their donations do come) then what would be this organization's use?

  • OMG. this woman gives blondes a bad name. All I could see were the puppet strings attached to her lips. How stupid can one be?...and she lies: grassroots??? I'm Canadian, my ancestors arriving in 1659 and 1673 respectively, and yet humbled by the arrival of my host First Nations brothers' and sisters's ancestors from several thousand years ago.

  • This is what happens when a marketing expert tells the govt and oil company execs that Canadians will react negatively to the phrase "foreign influence". They just keep saying the words over & over and we're supposed to react as though someone put doggy-do in our path. Very amusing. A little repetitive, but amusing.

  • sounded like they broke her, she only knew like 4 different sentences.

  • cock sucking blonde, probably sucked her way to her position. corporate whore-bag, I hope you sleep well at night.

  • WOW, she is BAD!!!!! I sure hope she watched her performance after the fact and learns from it!.

  • This woman has 3 well rehearsed lines. That sounds like a puppet to me...
