my brother in christ those are oil sands, unless you’re leveraging the horniness of lesbians to break down and refine the sands, idk why the fuck you think that’s economically viable lmao.
Wait, our hat has oil? Eagle screech intensifies
Don’t tempt some of them. Alberta has a whole separatist community that wants it to leave Canada and join the states…
It’s better for making asphalt than gasoline and the US just buys it from Canada anyway.
You’ve fully convinced me to use green energy. Ideally from a New England company
Wait… is there a chance this is a real ad?
Yes, it is real.
Not surprising. O&G industry is full of meatheads.
You misspelled meth head
That too. Cokeheads as well.
Brother, the owner of the business who made the ad is gay. They didn’t do this to objectify women, they did it to raise awareness about the ethics of O&G. It’s not some weird misogynist douchebag drawing this up.
It feels like something some weird misogynist douchebag would draw up though
You don’t need to be a “misogynist douchebag” to know that putting 2 provocative women on a billboard will turn heads[1] and use that knowledge.
If that were the case, then most cosmetic/clothing/jewellery product companies would have their figureheads, labelled as such. Of course, they are not because they are considered “relevant”.But in the end, they all have the same in common: they care about their wallets more than people in another country they don’t know.
and do so, more than 2 men ↩︎
Gay people can’t be misogynist? Also this isn’t about ethics, it’s about BS marketing pushing Canadian oil as more ethical than Saudi oil-- from an industry that only cares about this because… they sell Canadian oil (that I’ll add is considerably more expensive to extract and gas prices would skyrocket if Canada relied solely on domestically produced oil).
Not greenwashing but pinkwashing
Looks like an anti acid medication label color palette.

I’d hit it (“it” being the trapped oil) with a force of 15,000 pounds per square inch.
You don’t choose from where you get your oil. There’s one oil market. You can choose to ban imports of oil from certain countries (like Russia).
The better move is just to migrate further away from oil usage altogether.
I seriously thought it was massaging/cosmetic oils that were advertised
It doesn’t have to be an outright ban. You could have tariffs on imported oil, subsidies for domestic oil production, or loosened regulations that make domestic production less expensive. Reducing oil use is important, but so is reducing reliance on foreign oil. While the former also helps accomplish the latter, increased domestic oil production could still be beneficial.
(I generally think that international trade is a net benefit, but there’s a lot to be said for avoiding dependence on not-so-friendly foreign governments for the supply of economic essentials.)
The oil market actually has sub markets that break down by region and the type of crude that is being traded. Not all crude is created equal and there are different types of refineries that are designed to refine the different types of crude.
For example, a refinery that refines light / sweet crude won’t take the heavy stuff. Which is why places like North America export a lot of their domestic stuff. North America has a lot refineries looking for light crude, but pulls a lot of heavy stuff out of the ground.
One time I saw a woman
They know their market
Most lesbians aren’t hot.
Girls acting like lesbians is hot.
Wow! /s
Fake, if these were Canadian lesbians at least one of these women would be dressed like a lumberjack.
She needs to be resting an axe on her shoulder for this to be the bare minimum credible. Not to mention overalls
She is on her day off.
Exactly. So she’d be dressed like a lumberjack as opposed to working as a lumberjack.
“in Canada we don’t kill them, we just objectify them!”
fr this ad is sexualising them if you ask me
The word “Objectify” is about 2-3 syllables too long for whoever created that ad to understand.
Let’s just buy less oil altogether so the lesbians will still have a liveable planet in a couple or decades.
:3
:33:
Yes, let’s do it for the lesbians!
Because Canada has the trashied oil production of the world. It’s all oil sands.
It’s better for the environment to import petrol from the US rather than produce it “locally”.Hexbears will call it pink washing smh my head
#1) “Hey bestie, I know a guy who will pay us to model for an ad about Canadian Oil.”
#2) “okay…”
#3) “okay, ladies this will be quick, put on these outfits.”
#2) “why do I get the skimpy one, are you sure this isn’t another porno?”
#1) “yes, I’m sure. He said its going on Facebook or something.”
#3) “Okay, now #2 lean over #1, get in real close like your about to kiss her”
#2) “…”
