- No time frame was mentioned in the news coverage that I saw of the press
- conference. I've been having difficulties getting more information from
- Greenpeace Canada themselves, but when I do find out their methodology I'll
- report it.

- In my opinion, referring to this media stunt as a "commercial" is not far from
- the truth (although it was just a press conference). The rhetoric and style
- were typical snake-oil fare, and this is, after all, one way such groups
- raise contributions.
