Singer Paul Simon has added his voice to the lobby against oil tanker traffic on the west coast in a haunting new television commercial released on the 24th anniversary of the Exxon Valdez oil spill.

The singer directly approved the use of his song in the video created by Coastal First Nations, said CFN Executive Director Art Sterritt.

The Dogwood Initiative has put together a campaign to protest the tanker deal. LINK
