  Hi All. While the numbers are approximate, the City of Vancouver fleet
  (police, fire, paramedic, etc.) no longer runs on Shell Canada petroleum 
  products. The Greater Vancouver Regional District and other municipalities 
  banded together and awarded a $6,000,000 contract to Chevron Canada. 
  Shell Canada had the last Vancouver contract (worth $3,000,000). After
  the 1989 Supreme Court of Canada ruling against Vancouver's resolution to 
  exclude Shell Canada from city contracts (during the apartheid years), 
  many city governments were stymied. The City of North Vancouver discussed 
  not buying Shell products and informally instructed it's staff. There was 
  nothing for Shell to challenge. The Ogoni Solidarity Network in 
  Vancouver lobbied long and hard to wean Vancouver and other municipal 
  councils from Shell products. We mark our 36th consecutive weekly Boycott 
  $hell rally on Friday, July 11 from 4:00 - 6:00 pm. at Oak Street and 
  25th Avenue. Let your Vancouver friends know. Take care.  anon  Sid
  
  PS - Hope to get details this week about the contract and how (why?)
  Chevron was chosen. Is Chevron a better choice?
