VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Jan 26 (MARKETWIRE) — ForestEthics has sent a statement to supporters confirming the veracity of Andrew Frank’s claims that the Government of Canada targeted the environmental group.
In an email sent to supporters yesterday afternoon ForestEthics co-founder, Valerie Langer confirms the veracity of Andrew Frank’s claims:
“While a spokesman for the Prime Minister’s Office denied using this language (An Enemy of the Government of Canada), he refused to comment when asked whether ForestEthics was targeted by the government. ForestEthics was targeted by the government. There’s a good reason they wouldn’t comment: it’s true.”
The complete text of Langer’s statement to supporters is available here:
“I appreciate ForestEthics’ awkward attempts to bring the truth to light,” says Andrew Frank. “I understand that they are under enormous pressure from Tides Canada, which itself is terrified of government reprisals against its funding.”
