Esso's (Imperial Oil) record profits - OUTRAGEOUS!!!

Record profits for Imperial Oil - Montreal Gazette 10/31/08
Imperial Oil Ltd., Canada's biggest integrated oil company, said today its third-quarter earnings hit a record $1.4 billion or $1.57 a share, up from $816 million or 88 cents a share a year earlier, with higher oil prices. That brought nine months' profit to $3.22 billion or $3.60 a share, up from $2.3 billion or $2.15 a share a year earlier.

The U.S. Exxon Mobil Corp., which owns 70 per cent of Imperial, yesterday posted earnings of almost $15 billion U.S.

Fort McMurray Today 10/31/08
Imperial Oil has announced record earnings for its third quarter with a jump of about 70 per cent to just over $1.3 billion, the largest quarterly profit in its 128-year history. WHILE MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE DYING FROM STARVATION, MORE AND MORE PEOPLE LOSING THEIR HOMES BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD THEM AND ESSO MAKES THE LARGEST PROFIT IN 128 YEARS. I AM SO-O INFURIATED.

“Contrary to the doom and gloom out there, we think the future looks very bright for Imperial,” said Wong. GIVE ME A BREAK. THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR GET POORER.

you sure as heck won't see me at an esso station.
