Interesting column about the US effort to screw over the oilsands and the work of Vivian Krause
https://edmontonjournal.com/business...-the-oil-sands

In a post on his CorpEthics.org website, Michael Marx trumpeted the success of the 10-year campaign to throttle Alberta oilsands production, saying: “From the very beginning, the campaign strategy was to land-lock the tar sands so their crude could not reach the international market where it could fetch a high price per barrel. This meant national and grassroots organizing to block all proposed pipelines.”

Who is Marx? He’s the executive director of Corporate Ethics and the man who in 2008 co-ordinated two major American charitable foundations, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and The Tides Foundation, in their anti-oilsands fight. The campaign has since supplied tens of millions in U.S. dollars to groups such as Greenpeace Canada, Idle No More, Leadnow, Living Oceans Society, the Pembina Institute, the Sierra Club, the World Wildlife Fund Canada and various First Nations to battle against the oil sands.
