Fact. Last year we bought over four hundred million barrels of oil from Saudi Arabia. We bankrolled a state that doesn't allow women to drive. Doesn't allow them to leave their homes - or work - without their male guardians' permission. And a state where a woman's testimony only counts for a half of a man's. Why are we paying their bills... And funding their oppression? Today there's a better way. Ethical oil. From Canada's oil sands. Ethical Oil. A choice we have to make.

UPDATE: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, an oil rich dictatorship, has moved to censor this Canadian television ad that educates Canadian consumers about the oppression of women in Saudi Arabia and the role played by Saudi oil exports in enabling this oppression.

    Ethical oil is an oxymoron and oil sands is a bastardization of "tar sands".

    Does this actually work? How soft headed do you have to be convinced that 'ethical oil' is actually about standing up for womens rights when we are headed to more than 2 (maybe 4) degree increase in global temperature causing mass extinctions, draughts, extreme weather events and famines causing death of more women (and men)?

    Alberta oil facts: greenhouse gas emission are higher per barrel than Saudi Arabia. Alberta oil creates huge toxic tailing ponds. Boreal forests are strip mined. Enormous quantities of water is needed to produce the oil. Pollution is poisoning the local environment. Indigenous people in the area have contracted extremely rare forms of cancer that no one has been able to explain satisfactorily. Sound ethical?

    how many of these oil/gas companies operating in the tar sands also operate in the middle east? big oil doesn't give a damn where their money comes from and will do everything in their power to ensure it keeps flowing in.

    "Ethical Oil" what a joke seriously? The premise of this argument is so asinine that at first glance I thought the onion produced this ad. Do you realize that the amount of CO2 put in the atmosphere as a result of this farcical enterprise will be enough to ensure catastrophic climate change. Guess who suffers first the poor and indigenous who are most impacted by climate change. Is it "Ethical" to cause extreme poverty and worldwide conflict over scarce resources do to climate change?

    As an American expat in Saudi Arabia, I'm pretty sure that "Five women drivers arrested" was actually a protest against not being able to drive. And, y'know, it was less that they were "Arrested" and more that "The religious police shouted a lot and the actual police laughed and had their husbands bring them home." I may be a bit off, there, I don't know for sure.

    I mean, Saudi is hardly perfect by any definition of the word but it's even further away from being a totalitarian shit-hole.
