Big Foreign Oil’s Canadian Political Meddling
The political fallout surrounding China’s alleged interference in Canadian elections has taken up a lot of media airtime recently.
But there is a one very powerful source of foreign political interference that has so far escaped any significant scrutiny – Big Foreign Oil’s efforts to shape Canada’s climate and energy politics.
This episode of PH features a conversation with Gordon Laxer, professor emeritus of political economy and author of a 2021 study entitled “Posing as Canadian: How Big Foreign Oil Captures Canadian Energy and Climate Policy”.
The conversation includes a discussion about how Big Foreign Oil exercises its power and influence but also what needs to be done to curtail it.
