EDMONTON A researcher whose work helped prompt Alberta’s inquiry into anti-oilsands campaigns seems to have backed away from one of her major allegations.
Vivian Krause says she has never accused U.S. charitable foundations of trying to landlock Canadian oil to specifically benefit American competitors.
That suggestion has been repeated numerous times by Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and other members of the United Conservative government as a justification for the $3.5-million inquiry.
In a series of social media posts this week, Krause says she has no evidence of such collusion.
She says her concern is that anti-oilsands campaigns may have unintentionally allowed U.S oil production to increase and didn’t benefit the environment.
