RBC chief defends bank's oil sands work
Royal Bank of Canada's chief executive officer, Gordon Nixon, faced a tongue lashing by two environmental activists today as he answered questions at an industry conference in Toronto. ...
He defended his bank's "balanced approach" in taking such investment decisions, adding the industry would continue to finance energy, mining and forest product companies.
"Look, when it comes to financing oil and gas companies in Canada, all the Canadian banks and basically all large banks, globally, are active," Nixon said.
"I think it is important for any financial institution to ensure that they get the right balance in terms of their decision making, between what's in the economic interest and what's in the interest of society – whether it is environmental, whether it is health care or anything else.
damn that sounds expensive...
but what else comes to mind is the fact that giving the heads up to NYPD and UN may cause some asshole to declare that section of the river off-limits during the meeting... i expect some sort of shenanigan that way if only in the name of fighting terrorism :p
Maybe the the minister will be a Judy Garland drag queen, and Stanford can walk down the isle to a club version of "Here Comes the Bride", and there will be a leather queen who makes jokes about having sex in the bathroom and prefaces every sentence with "Oh, honey..." while an old and fat Barbara Striesand impersonator with an inexplicably young and hot asian or latino boyfriend talk about how Carrie is "Fierce".
For one thing, the schedule may contain a decoy scene, something that is intended precisely to throw gossipers off the scent.
For another, a male guest at a black-tie wedding is supposed to wear black tie. So Anthony or Sanford or both could be a guest at someone else's wedding.
Or they may go through with the "campy gay wedding" gag, which the more elderly commenters here may recall was so wittily done back in 1995 on Roseanne.
Pairing off Stanford and Anthony was the most nonsensical part of the first movie. The two hated each other throughout the series. Stanford had a long-term relationship with hunky Broadway dancer Marcus -- they even had a house in the Hamptons together. Why couldn't they just leave Anthony single and promiscuous, like he's supposed to be, and let Stanford marry Marcus?
@unclevanya: Oh, I am too. And I loved it when Anthony yelled at Charlotte for trying to pair the two of them up, "Just because he's gay, and I'm gay?!" Please. Marcus just turned into vapor at some point, which infuriates me. He and Stanford had a good thing.
@unclevanya: i was thinking that exact same thing... are they trying to prove a point, that when you get old enough, you eventually just settle for the "best/mediocre" thing that comes along?
@unclevanya: That pissed me off too! I loved Stanford and Marcus' relationship. I think what upset me the most was that there was no explanation. They were together at the end of the show and then *poof!* all of a sudden Stanford is single?
@Offbalance: Totally. There are a lot of straight people (mostly my friends and family) who really needed to hear that "Just because he's gay, and I'm gay" line. Now the whole lesson has been thrown to hell and people will keep setting me up with their totally non-compatible gay friends.
This plotline, along with the rank ones from SATC-TM Part Uno must be Cattrall's punishment from the producers, et.al., for holding out on the salary negotiations.
She still looks as young/younger than her costars--especially nekkid.
