I don't believe BP stations exists in Canada, but the company is massively invested in the Alberta tar sands. They're poisioning the water and causing massive increases in cancer rates in some of the Aboriginal communites up there. Well, them and many others, of course. Thousands of ducks die annually because they land in oil-sludged ponds and can't fly away, so the response has been to build scarecrows out of coveralls and hardhats and stick them in there. It's an absolute fucking disgrace what they're doing up there, and the environmental damage is far worse than what's happening in the Gulf Coast. I wouldn't even know where to begin if I were to boycot BP because all of these energy companies are destroying the environment and people's livelihoods. They're all evil, soulless, despicable corporations. I'd have to boycot everything, but that's just not going to work, so I just go about my life instead.
