I believe this accurate-

Elf was privatized, and merged with Total and Fina to make TotalFinaElf.

The new company was recently renamed Total.

The largest shareholders of Total, and some of its officers, are in-laws of Canadian PM Jean Chretien.

Total had major "agreements" for oil rights in Iraq via Saddam.

Chretien never answered questions whether his anti-war policy with Saddam was discussed with his relatives.


Chretien never ansered

Probably you should add that Total-Fina-Elf was in bed with Saddam Hussein, courtesy of Chirac.
