Under @stephenharper, the Oil and Gas industry successfully lobbied to gut several pieces of environmental & climate legislation.
The wishlist they sent to Enviro Minister Peter Kent was backed by @OilGasCanada, @Enbridge, @Suncor, @TransCanada & others https://www.desmogblog.com/2013/01/10/letter-reveals-harper-government-grants-oil-and-gas-industry-requests

Let's not forget that there is resounding evidence that @Shell knew about the climate crisis as early as the 1980s. They proceeded to bury what they knew, lobby against national + global climate action, and resource climate denialism. https://climateinvestigations.org/shell-oil-climate-documents/
They weren't the only ones. @exxonmobil also knew about climate change and refused to warn the public about the damage that their own researchers predicted while continuing to profit off fueling the climate emergency. #ExxonKnew https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2018/sep/19/shell-and-exxons-secret-1980s-climate-change-warnings
Earlier this year, @OilGasCanada attempted to use the pandemic as an excuse to roll back environmental regulations and halt any new climate policy.

Here is a full breakdown of all the nefarious ways in which @OilGasCanada has blocked action on climate change, dismantled environmental protections, and pushed for the violatin of Indigenous rights. http://rightsideofhistory.platform350.org/capp/
There are quite a few politicians who seem to forget Big Oil's criminal attempts to block climate action. Let's help them remember! If you have other examples, add 'em to this thread.
