Foreign oil lobbying and Canada’s energy policy
Foreign oil lobbying and Canada’s energy policy
Foreign-owned and foreign-influenced oil and gas corporations are lobbying to sway Canada’s environmental and energy policies — and now is the time for environmentalists to turn up the heat against this practice, says political economist Gordon Laxer.
I found this article while researching how much sway fossil fuel companies have in Canada. What I found is many are foreign and just like in the U.S. fossil fuel companies spend lots of money to influence politics.
I wrote a post explaining how Europeans can help fight off the far-right by boycotting fossil fuels and switching to renewable energy. Canadians can do the same.
Contact your representatives and demand a faster transition away from fossil fuels. Fossil fuel money fuels the far-right. Boycott them today!
