Posted By visittocanada on January 16, 2012
The Canadian government accused the “socialist billionaire” George Soros to intervene in the economic development of Canada funding environmental groups opposed to the exploitation of oil fields in the country.
The Minister of Natural Resources Canada, Joe Oliver, published today in Canadian media an “open letter” which warns that “radical” groups are trying to block the economic development of Canada. “Unfortunately, there are groups, environmental and other radicals who would seek to block this opportunity to diversify our trade. Its goal is to stop any large project no matter the cost to Canadian families lost jobs and economic growth,” said Oliver.
In addition to his letter, the Canadian minister today accused the Canadian public broadcaster, CBC, Soros being one of those who finance these “radical” groups. “They have an agenda that appears to be driven by ideology and is funded by billionaire socialists, without exaggeration, the U.S., people like George Soros, and does not take into account the urgent economic interest of the Canadian public in general,” the minister said.
