Ottawa offered up at least $18.6 billion in support of the fossil fuel and petrochemical industries in 2023.
$8 billion in loan guarantees for the Trans Mountain pipeline. $7.4 billion in public financing through the Crown corporation Export Development Canada. $1.3 billion for carbon capture and storage projects.
Do you think, just maybe, our politicians have some skin in this game and that they might stand to gain something from throwing billions into oil and gas?
