In the summer of 2019, newly elected Alberta Premier Jason Kenney said he was determined to blow the lid off of what he called a shadowy, foreign-funded campaign to crush Alberta s oil and gas industry. He mentioned Russia, OPEC and the Rockefeller Foundation as possibly playing a role. And he announced an inquiry to get to the bottom of it.
