The Greenpeace protest at the Albian Sands oilsands site north of Fort McMurray, Alta., ended peacefully Wednesday afternoon after the company and RCMP agreed to let the protesters leave without facing any charges.
I always find it amazing that those who participate in these protests can all manage to get the same time off work together. They must have very understanding employers. Such a waste of time for everyone else, not to mention the costs involved with the RCMP. They should be fined to cover those costs.
The childish part of me still prefers to see them starve to death in the mine or put to work in the mine using hand tools until they work of the value of the production interruption they caused.
But this is a huge coup for Shell. They fed them, gave them blankies, invited them to talk about solutions, and the Greenpeacers were suddenly adrift in a vast ocean of "wtf do we do now?".
Heheh just shows Greenpeace to be the hooligans they are, adults talk, kids throw tantrums and displays.

Brilliant play. Too bad about not laying charges.
