Green Shift vs. Green Shift

I originally had a bit of sympathy for this company, and certainly the Liberals could have handled it better. However, when Green Shift Inc. founder Jennifer Wright appears on CTV boo-hooing about how badly their business has suffered since all this publicity came their way, and all the emails they've received threatening a 'boycott' of her company (and you know who those emails are from), I get a little suspicious.

When she claimed that her company had all but vanished from the results of a Google search on 'green shift' under the onslaught of hits for the Liberal plan, you know I had to check it out...



Well whaddaya know. Look who's number one.

Cry me a river.

  1. The more this unfolds the more this seems like nothing more than an intentional Streisand effect

  2. It's her company and her trademark and she has a right to be ticked. The Libs were careless and brazen and deserve to have their hands slapped.
    I fail to understand your contempt for this lady, whose company, it would appear, is pursuing the goals that I figure you agree with?!

  3. Let's get this straight for just a minute here:

    Stephane Dion insists that his carbon tax will provide the impetus for the establishment of a so-called "Green industry", full of companies like Green Shift Inc that will help the rest of us be more environmentally sustainable, and eventually emerge as a global powerhouse.

    And the first thing he does en route to establishing this "Green industry" is infringe on the trademark of a company pioneering that very "Green industry"?

    Not wise.
