About The Backgrounder:
The oil and gas industry in Canada subverts and undermines democratic processes and hinders climate action through its lobbying and other influence-wielding activities.
The production and consumption of fossil fuels is the source of over 75 per cent of greenhouse emissions globally. The industry in Canada has a vested interest in persuading governments to not enact regulations, policies or laws which would limit the production of fossil fuels and potentially reduce companies’ profits.
