A FORMER FEDERAL CLIMATE MINISTER GIVES US "THE STRAIGHT GOODS" ABOUT THE OIL INDUSTRY

 CANADA'S NATIONAL OBSERVER

This week, former federal climate minister  Catherine McKenna didn't mince words  about the fossil fuel industry's broken  promises. "Why does anyone think they'll uphold any  of their side of any bargain?" she told Canada's  National Observer in an exclusive interview ahead of  her memoir launch. Her warning comes as Prime Minister Mark Carney  pursues a $16.5 billion "grand bargain" with oil  companies – the same companies that encouraged  Liberal pipeline purchases, raked in "obscene" profits,  then abandoned their climate commitments. This is the kind of story you won't find elsewhere. We  sat down with McKenna to get the unvarnished truth  about climate policy failures, corporate promises, and  what's really happening behind closed doors in Ottawa. And we're not finished digging. Right now, you can get a full year of Canada's National  Observer for just $69.99 – that's 50% off our regular  price.
