Alberta Inquiry Says it Has Confirmed ‘Significant’ Foreign Funding of Anti-Energy Campaign
The key findings of the final report of an
Alberta government-commissioned
inquiry into campaigns against the province’s energy industry says it confirms the existence of “well-funded foreign interests” spreading “misinformation” to landlock Alberta’s oil and gas sector.
The
report, compiled by forensic and restructuring accountant Steve Allan, was submitted to the provincial government in July and was made public on Oct. 21.
“People lost their jobs, businesses went under, families were hurt, government revenues from royalties were impacted. We lost billions of dollars in royalties,” she said at a press conference on Oct. 21.
The report says that between 2003 and 2019, Canadian-based environmental initiatives received $1.28 billion in foreign funding, while noting that the estimate is likely understated. Of that, $925 million was used by Canadian charities for “environmental initiatives,” $352 million was used to fund “Canadian-based environmental initiatives” that remained in the United States such as anti-pipeline campaigns, and $54.1 million was used specifically for “anti-Alberta resource development activity.”
“What the report found was a co-ordinated campaign that ultimately targeted influencing political and regulatory change, using foreign funding. It is foreign funding, going after domestic processes and domestic policy and that’s the real concern,” she said, adding that the “multi-billion-dollar foundations in the United States aren’t concerned with the day-to-day life of Albertans.”
“For years, the energy conversation has been driven by activist organizations who have influenced energy policies that are today contributing to rising energy costs for Canadians, as well as energy shortages for our trading partners around the world,” said McMillan in a statement released to The Epoch Times.

GORDA, Calif. (KABC) -- Gas keeps getting more and more expensive, especially in California. But perhaps nowhere is it pricier than the remote central coast community of Gorda.
The town's only gas station is offering regular unleaded for $7.59. Premium is nearly $8.50.
Are price isn’t so bad Lol

That is why some European countires(the ones they care about their own)ban ,restrict ,or at least make mandatory reporting of foreign founding.
Some foreign founding can also "only"be distributed thru the Government.
To avoid or control "others"meddling in their country and their livelihood.
So,they KNOW,who,why and how.As such,they can counteract the hurt.
Also-they tax the recipients for the money received..............
None of the Foreign influence is "naive"-"innocent"or "random".
They all have agenda,from which one the donor will financially benefit.
