Journalist and political commentator Tyler Noakes writes that:


"With an inner circle stacked with fossil fuel lobbyists, it’s no wonder that Pierre Poilievre voted against the environment 400 times."

Key takeaways:


  • Pierre Poilievre has voted against environmental protections more than 400 times over his 20-year career. He supports removing oversight and climate rules that hold oil and gas companies accountable.


  • Poilievre’s political inner circle, and senior members of the Conservative Party National Council, includes fossil fuel lobbyists and other corporate lobbyists.


  • While Poilievre claims to represent everyday Canadians, his actions show strong ties to Big Oil, which will impede Canada’s shift to clean energy.
