Who is funding ‘Energy United’? Connections to CAPP, the Saskatchewan Party, and Alberta’s environment minister Rebecca Schulz offer some clues.

JFC....the thing that's fucked about this, is that they're sorta right. It's lobby groups, funded by industry attack dogs like Energy United. And I'm not saying do away with lobbying by interest groups. Quite the opposite. My wife is technically a lobbyist. She works for a health care union and lobbies for better wages and work places treatment for the members of the union and the wider health care system. This is totally fine. If we do away with the massive political ~~donations~~ bribes given out by lobby groups for things like Oil and Gas, private Health firms, the military industrial complex.

shrugs IDFK.... people have been saying these things for decades, I don't think it'll change in my lifetime without something drastic happening....
