[edit] Irving opposition
- What is the point of the above link? It seems full of nothing more than speculation with little to back up the assertions it makes.

- While I'm all for balance in Wikipedia articles, opposition to specific entities, be they governments, individuals or corporations, needs to be focused. The K.C. Irving article talks about the vertical integration model that was implemented for the entier "Irving Group of Companies". Perhaps an Irving Group of Companies entry can be created that would better hold this information? I foresee that uninformed readers will stumble onto this Irving Oil article and think it is the vertical integrator, when it seems that all three major areas controlled by K.C.'s sons are integrated: energy, natural resources & transportation, construction. Just a thought. Plasma east 19:38, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In the tanker
Anybody know what naming system Irving used for their ships? Or if there's a list of their names? (The comapny website doesn't have 1 I could find.) Trekphiler 23:09, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Assessment
I have assessed this as Start Class, as it contains more detail and organization than would be expected of a Stub, and of Low Importance, as I do not feel that many people outside of Canada would be familiar with the subject of this article. Cheers, CP 01:02, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- Given that Irving is the largest gas and oil products company in New England, and that it is based in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, I disagree with this "low-importance" rating. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.244.107.66 (talk) 14:54, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
At an estimated 5 billion, a huge company owned by Canada's third richest family, I don't see how it's unimporant, the article is not even very long. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.177.153.241 (talk) 05:15, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
