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.
