Big oil loves to ask Canadians to write them blank cheques while they rake in record profits.
Their shareholders make off with billions while they leave struggling rural Alberta communities and workers with $253 million in unpaid taxes.
Today I held their lobbyist accountable.

When Wood Buffalo National Park was created in 1922, Dene people were forcibly removed from our land by the Government of Canada. We continue to fight for our rights on this land and to urge Canada to apologize. #cdnpoli#abpoli
