I'd also add those are the contributions just for the corporation. Individuals like say CEOs can donate personally as well.

The only oil money that's influencing opinions of Provincial Politicians is the amount of royalties that the province takes in from the budget. Since more oil production optimizes provincial revenues it would be shocking if the politicians did anything overly antagonizing to the oil industry. More oil and gas investment equals more revenue in the provincial coffers. They don't need campaign donations to remind them!
