The foreign-funded campaign behind attempts to shut down Alberta’s oilsands has meant the loss of thousands of jobs and negative economic growth for the province, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney says.
Announcing the province’s inquiry into the Tar Sands Campaign, Kenney referenced research by Canadian investigator Vivian Krause, saying the campaign is financed by multi-billion-dollar U.S.-based foundations. Elsewhere, Kenney has pointed to international players who have a vested interest in impediments to North American energy exports.
