Canada's aid to the oil & gas sector topped $29.6B in 2024: Environmental Defence

Big-ticket items last year include $21B in financing for the Trans Mountain pipeline project

Environmental Defence says its $29.6 billion figure spans direct grants, tax breaks, loans, and loan guarantees

Big-ticket items in 2024 include $21 billion in financing for the government-owned Trans Mountain pipeline project, and $7.5 billion in public financing through Export Development Canada.

Figures can't lie, but liars can figure. They make it sound like a grant but loans are just loans.

Nenshi should step down, fined, be taken to court for dereliction of duty or be removed from current leadership role due to breach of authority while in a position of power, poor memory & proved blatant deceit causing destruction & financial burden unnecessarily …. The records prove it & clarify it! His two in command should not be absolved either for not going to council when Nenshi did not! Calgarians should not be left with the costing when it should have been unnecessary! It’s called Accountability…..
