"... all over Canada." As in, we have one in Edmonton and one in Calgary, and I think a trip to the oil sands is definitely on their list.

Polar Bear Alberta Oil Sands Protest in Vancouver12 May 08
It's not everyday you encounter a polar bear on Vancouver's famous Sea Wall. Especially a really cranky one raising awareness about the environmental impacts of the Alberta Oil Sands industry. You can check out the latest pictures we have uploaded to our Flickr account as part of DeSmog's Arctic Front initiative. We have polar bears deployed all over Canada and since the initiative has become so popular, we now have polar bears deployed all over the world, including: Colombia, India, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Australia, Israel, and the United States (LA, Texas and DC). If you're interested in joining up (and dressing up), please drop us a line at: desmogblog[at]gmail[dot]com. We also have a very active Facebook group if you would like to join up. Here's a few factoids about the massive environmental impacts the Alberta Oil Sands are having on our environment:

Protestors Remain Strangely Absent in Fort McMurray

Funny that these protestors don't show themselves within a thousand miles of Fort McMurray? Maybe they don't know there's a Starbucks there, so they'll still be able to buy their organic fair trade skinny double soy lattes and "smooth jazz" cds?
Damn, I'd buy tickets to see that.
