if the aim of Greenpeace was to stir up the masses by this questionable protest, they really failed. i was in Ontario when it happened and it was on the media radar for about a day and then was gone.
I think the viability of such actions are questionable. They were trespassing on private property. Unfortunately, I foresee more events like this, particularly where greenhouse gases and global warming are a hot political issue.
I am biased, I don't like Greenpeace, I think they are just as corporate as the shipping company, only their business is "activism". And if the reaction of people in small town Ontario is a barometer of their success, they just came across as a bunch of assholes.
