FD Element: Web-Pages REMOVED about the Great Bear Rainforest, the David Suzuki Foundation, the USA League of Conservation Voters

"The firm also provides counsel to leading political campaigns, including the Ontario Liberal Party, and public officials, including Vancouver’s newly-elected mayor, Gregor Robertson."

At the end of November, I  mentioned here at this blog that the David Suzuki Foundation and Mayor Gregor Robertson are served by the same P.R. agency as some very deep-pocketed clients such as Burger King and Coca-Cola.  That P.R. agency is FD Element.

Global TV has raised serious questions about some of the projects that FD Element has done to boost the image of Mayor Gregor Robertson, at tax-payers expense.

 

FD Element has also done P.R. work on two of the biggest environmental initiatives in the history of Canada: the Great Bear Rainforest Initiative and the Boreal Forest Initiative. Both of them are heavily funded by U.S. foundations - the same ones that are funding a million-dollar campaign to control the Alberta oil indsutry and block Canadian oil exports to Asia.

Recently, I noticed that FD Element seems to have completely over-hauled its web-site.  All of the web-pages that mention F.D. Element's involvement with the Great Bear Rainforest, the Boreal Forest Initiative, the David Suzuki Foundation, and the U.S. League of Conservation Voters, and Mayor Gregor Robertson, seem to have been removed.

FD Element also removed its previous client list, and a press release that included the telling statement, "The firm also provides counsel to leading political campaigns, including the Ontario Liberal Party, and public officials, including Vancouver’s newly-elected mayor, Gregor Robertson." 

Most of these web-pages were removed within the last month or so.
