For decades the fossil fuel lobby has masterfully weakened, derailed, and outright blocked government climate policy. The fossil fuel lobby meddles with Canadian politics and inserts itself into international climate change politics and diplomacy. The biggest barrier to climate action in Canada is the oil and gas lobby.
