Alykhan Velshi departs government to start EthicalOil.org

Alykhan Velshi departs government to start EthicalOil.org-Excerpt- That’s what Alykhan Velshi has created — seven grand-slam hits to knock some sense into the craniums of critics of the single greatest wealth and jobs generator in the country — Canada’s oil and gas industry. Velshi, a lawyer and a former communications director for federal Immigration Minister Jason Kenney, has just taken over EthicalOil.org….Velshi is widely credited with helping the federal Conservatives manage its message in the last election that socked it to the federal Liberals and saw the Tories finally win a majority government. Whether or not this 27-year-old wunderkind can get past first base against radical environmental groups funded by large foundations and sometimes even masochistic big oil, remains to be seen.
