Re: Rick Bell: “Lights, cameras, hypocrisy,” (Sept. 30, 2010). In 2006,
pop superstar Paul McCartney and his wife Heather were filmed on an ice
floe off Newfoundland getting up close and personal with a seal colony.
They called on the Canadian government to end the “heartbreaking”
commercial hunt of harp seals. Soon after, the couple was making news
with a nasty divorce, their thoughts no doubt now preoccupied with
their own domestic life. Anyone know if Sir Paul or his ex has been
active on the seal-hunt file in recent years? Will oilsands critic and
film director James Cameron still be tracking the degree to which our
energy industry is, or isn’t environmentally friendly four years from
today?
