Jane Fonda Gets An Earful During Tour

... believes that Fonda had no interest in hearing the side opposite of Greenpeace and that she should have taken the opportunity Picard was providing to educate herself on the whole issue. “They’re just not interested to just listen to the people,” she said. “She was confronted by these questions by me and Robbie Picard and they don’t want to hear the other side of the story. They’re in denial, they’re here for one agenda and that’s to make us look bad and shut down our oil and gas.”. After the confrontation with Plamondon, Fonda was quickly lead away by security, which Plamondon described as cowardly. “With her running way, to me she’s a coward. She wasn’t going to take that time out and listen to the people and this is what it’s all about.”. Plamondon thinks that her actions may have brought ...

Oil Sands Issue Goes Much Deeper Than Jane Fonda

... is entertaining and is great for people like us, especially if it’s caught on video. But it obscures the complex nature of the topic. It’s also much deeper than a standard environment vs. money dichotomy; it goes to the very heart of the difficulties of governing Canada. A particularly revealing example of this may have been Thomas Mulcair’s comments in 2012, when he referred to the oil sands as Canada’s “Dutch disease.” But it’s often forgotten – or possibly even ignored – that the comment was implicitly meant as a criticism of how the oil sands are perceived in Eastern Canada. Though these comments were simplistic and politically tone deaf, there is still a ghost of a point. The “Dutch disease” refers to a phenomenon in the Netherlands in the 1960 s, where natural resources artificially increased the value of their currency and thereby increased the price of buying manufacturing goods from the Netherlands, making them ...

Jane Fonda Calls Donald Trump 'predator-in-chief' On Bill Maher Show

... allowed him to grab women “by the pussy.”. “It was a shock, I must say. I felt for a couple of weeks that I had been hit by a truck,” Fonda said of the video. She later joked, “Trump should have more respect for pussies because if penises could do what pussies could do, they’d be on postage stamps.”. Fonda added, “A lot of people are scared of pussy power, because when women unite we are a force to be reckoned with, and we will unite.”. Asked by Maher if celebrities speaking out against Trump actually hurt their intended cause, Fonda said no. “Him and his fake news, the predator-in-chief and his fake news, their tactic is to divide and conquer. Whenever a celebrity speaks out like Meryl [Streep] did at the Golden Globes and gets the reaction from our president-elect — you know she hit a spot.”. The actress, who was an outspoken opponent of the Vietnam war in the 1970 s, continued, “I have been a celebrity for many decades, 50 years. I have been told I should shut up because I’m a celebrity. But what celebrities can do is bring attention to things that wouldn’t normally get ...

Actress America Ferrera told the thousands assembled that they were marching “for the moral core of this nation, against which our new president is waging a war.
