Drawn to the Truth

Drawn to the Truth: An Illustrated Exposé of Big Oil’s Playbook is a backgrounder that exposes ten coordinated tactics used by the fossil fuel industry to delay climate action and maintain Canada’s dependence on oil and gas.

The report examines how Big Oil exerts influence through lobbying, greenwashing, front groups, education infiltration, and revolving doors with government. It shows how these tactics are used to shape public opinion, influence policy, and slow the transition away from fossil fuels.

By revealing how these strategies work together as a coordinated playbook, the report highlights how industry influence continues to keep Canada tied to fossil fuels despite clear climate science, rising public costs, and the accelerating global transition to clean, affordable renewable energy.
