Jason Kenney's government has launched an inquiry into who funds groups that criticize Alberta’s oil industry.
We'll save you some time, Premier. It's us.
Let Alberta Premier Kenney know who we are and why we donate and take action to stop the Trans Mountain Pipeline and fight the climate breakdown. If we get enough, we'll send them to his office.

TMX threatens the health & safety of our communities, orcas, salmon, FN unceded lands and tramples on FN rights. UNDRIP.
I find it disturbing and quite frankly in poor taste that you are accusing concerned citizens & #FN communities of being foreign funded radicals. When the tarsands projects are owned and operated by the Koch brothers and serval international companies.
We are ordinary concerned citizens. We are not only concerned about the climate emergency, that is barreling down upon us, we are also concerned with the rights of FN, our endangered orcas, salmon and the complete lack of care or concern regarding the health and safety of the hundreds of thousands of people who live on Burnaby Mountain and surrounding areas. TMX could potentially have dire consequences for our population, air, water and land.
So if we are foreign funded radicals, where do I sign up? Because quite frankly, I have spent a lot of time, energy and yes, my own funds (thousands of dollars) trying to stop this reckless, dangerous project.
So, before you start throwing around your propaganda and rhetoric accusing concerned citizens of being “foreign funded radicals.” Get your facts straight.

After reading Unsettling Canada by Arthur Manuel, I am actively standing with and supporting First Nations fighting TMX. One of many Sinister Seniors! (If you have not heard that moniker, ask Judge Affleck).
Mr Kenney, when Canada is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world and our emissions have been INCREASING in recent years, isn’t it insanity to continue with business as usual? Imagine if we used fossil fuel subsidies and the upwards of $15 billion that will be the total price for TMX to transition tar sands workers to the renewable energy industry where they do not have to compromise their health.
It no doubt will take huge guts on your part to stand up to these foreign corporations that dictate Canada’s energy policies, but you have to put the well-being of the entire planet ahead of corporate greed.
