Jason Kenney's government has launched an inquiry into who funds groups that criticize Alberta’s oil industry.

It must be tough to be such a dedicated shill of the tar sands and to still be hated by both the left and the right. Enjoy your forced retirement, Jason.

Sucks to suck.

Hey Big Jay,

Hope your pipeline fails horribly after you waste a bunch of public money on it.

Oh hold up, that just happened.


Best,

Kaytlyn Turner

Jail time

Every choice Kenney makes is the wrong choice, Suck my ass Kenney!

Go Fuck yourself, Kenney

Yo Jason, go choke on a dick.

You’re a fucking joke bud, and your careers over.

Any Canadian Province wants to profit by selling pollution should apply To the USA for citizenship. I am sure the USA would welcome Alberta”s profit at any cost attitude.,Yes, people need jobs but not work that leads towards our man made destruction. Thoughtless Capitalism rules in the States, why not join them?

Dear Mr. Kenney: I’m an average working Albertan whose personal employment income is substantially connected to the health of the Alberta economy, like yours and most others here. I also recognize that my children’s future, and the health of the ecosystem, is substantially connected to us collectively figuring out how to rapidly wean Alberta’s economy off of fossil fuels. Economic disruptions, on a large scale, can be hailed as either ‘calamitous’, or as opportunities to do the right thing. It must’ve been very difficult for vested interests and the 19th century economy of the US South to conceive of, much less accept, a ‘post-slavery’ economy…but it was the necessary thing to do. It was surely difficult for Western powers to surrender their economic control of their colonies, but again…it was the necessary thing to do. Now, there’s a new imperative for our body politic, and the necessary thing is obvious. You were likely voted in by people who are seeking that “one last oil boom” (remember that bumper sticker?), but the only, and necessary thing, for you to do as an Alberta leader, is to get this province, and country, weaned off of an economy that is so voraciously destructive to everything we know about the natural world and human decency. This issue doesn’t care or blink whether you are Conservative or NDP, Republican or Democrat, West or East… it demands the attention of everyone, right now…and you are a person selected by your fellow citizens to lead. If you fail to lead, then you will ‘follow’ the tired and destructive course that leads to burdening the next generation with even fewer choices. I’ve tried to debate this matter with people who feel differently, without much headway – they truly seem to be longing for that “one last oil boom” that will come with a new pipeline, a war in the middle east, or the destruction of the Venezuelan oil patch. In placating that particular group-think, a whole world of hurt is on the very near horizon. I don’t fault you for wanting to keep people employed, or wanting a balanced budget – that is proper and decent planning – but someone obviously has to start moving this economy around a new model of thinking; YOU are well positioned to do that, possibly even more so than your immediate predecessor, and I call upon you to expend your political capital in doing the right thing!

You are destroying our children’s future, Canada’s future, our planets future. This is not about economics this is about survival.

It’s never to late to become the person that made an outstanding, positive change for Canada and its environment.

Job security is possible with an economical transition. Fossils fuel are not sustainable, be innovative, become the leader Alberta needs now, for the youth and the generations to come. Make the right decision today and your leadership will be remembered. Don’t be an island.

Geothermal yay

I oppose Transmountain Pipeline because of the dangers it poses to the fragile water system. I don’t understand why some of the upgraders that were to be built in the 1990’s in the Industrial Heartland aren’t being built? Wouldn’t that reduce some of the concerns re: bitumen?

Hi. I was born in Canada. I’ve never lived elsewhere. I give about $100/month to stop TMX etc! To stop YOU and Harper’s cronies, ALL of John A MacDonald’s lackeys! Lol. I’m probably foreign backed if you listen to you. You DO listen to you more than any other reasonable thing.

I’m interested in who funds you, Mr. Jason Kenney! Who are the investors in the tar sands that you so lovingly protect and promote? Who funds the lobby groups that promote fossil fuels? Who funds your so-called War Room? On that one, I’m quite clear, it’s the taxpayers. Stop treating us like idiots. We know who is spending money to propagandize again fossil fuel challengers. You have a lot of good buddies with money in the tar sands, fracking, oil industry infrastructure and a whole lot of it comes from outside of Canada. Join the 21st Century and transition to green energy. Yes, even you can do it!

JeM’oppose Its Me. No need for an inquiry. Alberta is a wonderful provnce, but Big oil is destroying our planet… Pass time to invest in clean energy

I think we need more windmills. Burn up that fossil fuel to make them! I would also like electric cars on the road. I don’t care how much energy it takes to build one! Make them out of wood! Then we only need trees to build cars and chainsaws to cut them down!. Fossil fuels are the devil! This site is ridiculous! The whole world is going to burn because the CO2 levels are rising and warming the planet! Who wants that? It only makes my lawn grow better and feeds the trees that I want used to make electric cars! Now that we have solved the rain forest issue, we need a good focus on this emergency! People are idiots! You’ll see a lot of them commenting on my post! The stupidest people will have a lot to say about everything I write. It’s amazing how people can jump on board something as ridiculous as this!

Hi Mr. Kenney, I’m concerned about the future of our environment. Pipelines are awful. There is no sure way to ensure that spills and leaks don’t happen. And the truth is no one wants our crappy bitumen. It’s well known that it is the worst quality oil out there, and the fact that we use as much water in the process is insane. Using our most precious resource to turn sand into poor-quality oil is just stupid. Do the right thing and figure out new ways for your prosperous province to acquire it’s wealth, and not at the expense of the beautiful nature that spans across Alberta and BC. Thanks!

No TMX Jason! NO! NO! NO!

Leave public funds alone. You need to address climate change.

Go back to the Trailer Park Randy! At least you were a funny ass hat there! Maybe if you had kids like most normal people you’d actually give a crap about the shit heap of a world you’re planning to leave them!

I have been opposed to this project for many years. We need to “Keep it in the Ground” and the only way you wouldn’t know that if by voluntarily ignoring the evidence. My private donations have been my vote in this matter. Others like me have invested time and savings into this cause, BECAUSE IT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE SHIFT AWAY FROM FOSSIL FUELS. Building infrastructure to facilitate the distribution of something we MUST avoid relying on, is counter productive. The same effort applied to renewable resources/ green technology development is what we need and must do. We have the means, if we work towards a common goal, to minimize the impacts of our careless actions over the last century. Otherwise, we’re just apes running a lab to the ground… we will crash like so many civilizations before us.

As a Vancouver Islander I am very concerned with what the TMX pipeline will do to our environment. There are many lives at risk on Burnaby Mountian if you push this thing through. Our Orcas are dying off, our salmon streams are being destroyed. The risk of a tanker colliding with either a bridge or another ship is very real. Dilbit can not be cleaned up effectively. I will do anything in my power to stop this destruction of our coastlands. You are going to destroy much wildlife habitat in the Boreal Forest. I am strongly opposed to your plan for Alberta. It is not in the best interest of anyone that wants to continue living.
