Latest revision as of 16:45, 31 January 2022

A conspiracy theory developed by blogger Vivian Krause and then picked up by the Harper government in 2012 until their defeat in 2015. Since revived by former Harper government politicians.

Summary

The idea that all Canadian environmental activists, especially anti-pipeline ones, are funded and controlled by American oil interests with the goal of blocking Alberta oil from having easy access to outside markets. This conspiracy theory was active during the Canadian Harper government, when the Canada Revenue Agency was used as a political weapon against environmental groups. After many audits, no evidence of improper funding was reported.

After defeat of the Conservative Party of Canada in the federal election of 2015, the theory went into a hiatus until the victory of Jason Kenney and the United Conservative Party in the Alberta provincial election of 2019. The theory has also been picked up by Andrew Scheer, previous leader of the Conservative Party of Canada.
