Who Reaches Deepest Into Big Oil's Pockets?

Well, it's not the Alberta Tories if that's what you were thinking.  It is British Columbia's very own Liberal government.

..according to data compiled by Elections BC and Elections Alberta, corporate oil and gas donations to the BC Liberals have significantly outstripped comparable gifts to the then-ruling Alberta PC Party. Since 2005, the industry donated more than $3.1 million to the BC Liberals, relative to a mere $1.8 million to the Alberta Conservatives.

  1. Yes, they thought Alberta was forever in-the-bag. LOL

    They are trying desperately to purchase a carbon corridor: south - XL oops, East - rocky road ahead, west - through BC. KM, Gateway etc

    sad thing, oil-by-rail is growing everyday while we fight the pipelines
