I suppose they are going to stop using gasoline as well, considering all the oil companies that also support it?

It's a sily thing to get worked up over. It's also a silly thing for telus to do.

There's a whole swath of businesses that should really stay out of political matters that are not directly impacting on their relationship with their customers.

It’s no secret that Telus has long advocated for sustainability – it is the only Canadian telecom on the Dow Jones sustainability index – but the country’s third largest telecom provider, which does much of its business in Alberta’s beleaguered oil country, made customers angry with the political tone of its tweet.

"As a founding member of @smartprosperity, we support @JustinTrudeau & @cathmckenna in putting a #PriceOnCarbon,” Telus posted Tuesday night, linking to a joint statement from 22 business leaders, including CEO Darren Entwistle, that called carbon pricing the best way to reduce emissions and spark innovation.

I read the story on other sites. But, thanks.

I also read that Telus is taking the pussy way out and backtracking on their business decision as being not a good one. I find amusing all the stories on how life will end now that we have a carbon tax.

I blame Telus.
