@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions She's been debunked by experts. Conspiracy theory: Alberta oil blockaded by U.S. interests

@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions “The direct or indirect claim of conspiracy, at its heart, is an accusation of fraud and breach of trust, based entirely on circumstantial evidence."

@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions "Not to put too fine a point on it, but every core tenet of Kenney’s conspiracy theory is flatly and demonstrably false.”"

@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions Debunked: Vivian Krause’s Tar Sands Campaign conspiracy narrative

@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions As far as the west coast tanker ban, I'm sure it's just as false as Krause's entire conspiracy.

This is why Gateway died, not b/c of some absurd conspiracy

@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions 49) Gutting enviro protections, collusion w industry, demonizing the opposition, aggressively auditing orgs critical of Harper policies led to the failure of Gateway & TMX.

Pipeline failure is on Harper & Kenney, not a conspiracy theory.

@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions And both these threads explain Bills C-69 & C48, the tanker ban that West Coast Nations have been asking for for over 30 yrs! No, it doesn't target Alberta, nor is it a conspiracy against pipelines. It's common sense.

@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions What's ironic is that the campaign against the Oilsands stopped with Premier Notley and her climate change plan and yet Alberta voted that out.

Krause's film also lies about the U.S., investment capital fleeing, the oil price differential & the alleged American monopoly.

@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions None of the majors were exposed to the oil price differential! That's the majority of AB's export which were NEVER blockaded by NGO's!

Majority of Western Canada’s crude oil exports to US not exposed to record high discount between WCS and WTI
energi.news/markham-on-ene…

@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions This was why you had price differentials: a pipeline leak and normal refinery maintenance.

Pipeline constraints, refinery maintenance lower WCS prices. WCS prices up on Monday following AB gov’t production curtailment announcement

@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions This is why AB will NEVER see another boom not some absurd conspiracy.

Many jobs are not coming back. Technology and the green shift is unstoppable, but this shift is a massive structural one.

@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions For those who believe Krause's crazy conspiracies. This is her 3rd rodeo. It's not her 1st!

Harper cannot dodge Canada’s past arrogance, and neither can he nor anyone else really blame Trudeau and leftist craziness for Canada’s energy meltdown

business.financialpost.com/opinion/terenc…

@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions As far as Krause's crazy claim that there is little to no opposition to pipelines in the U.S. & they're blocking AB, it's just that: crazy & stupid.

U.S. judge halts Keystone XL pipeline construction. Indigenous, environmental activists applaud ruling

@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions The west coast tanker ban is favored by the *majority* of west coast first nations communities and it has nothing to do with targeting AB or some crazy conspiracy. They've been asking for it for over 20 yrs and it was informal *policy* period!

https://twitter.com/ElkeBabiuk/status/1074785625654493184?s=20

@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions More about the discounted price. AB Bitumen is high sulfur.

"Yes, oil sands crude typically sells for $15 to $25 less than lighter oil, but it’s because it’s an inferior, heavier oil that is more expensive to transport and refine."
energi.media/markham-on-ene…

@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions Abaout Krause's production limit lie for AB Oilsands. It's not a cap on production b/c she doesn't know what she is speaking about. It was an EMISSIONS CAP which the oilsands would not have exceeded for another 20 yrs.

@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions About her claim of the Great Bear Rainforest protection as "propaganda", her claim is propaganda. The protection of the GR Bear was 20 yrs in the making and Harper contributed $30 Million so it had absolutely nothing to do with blockading pipelines.
nationalobserver.com/2016/01/27/new…

@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions The majority of Coastal First Nations are in favor of the Great Bear. A few discontents doesn't wipe out that truth. The link above is 14-article piece on the 20-yr story of protecting the Great Bear.

Harper put in $30 MILLION!
vancouversun.com/business/Part+…

@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions The majority of the money Krause claims were used to blockade pipelines went into the Great Bear Rainforest which is one of the biggest holes in her conspiracy theory!

Even the Germans got involved. Again, that had NOTHING to do with blockading pipelines
nationalobserver.com/2016/02/02/int…

@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions This was approved by the Indigenous Environmental Network which promoted the ABC story of the Great Bear Rainforest.

It's also about the supertanker ban and Northern Gateway.

"Canadian Spirit Bears at risk if the Northern Gateway is approved"

@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions Another reason Gateway failed - not b/c of conspiracy but b/c Enbridge lied by disappearing islands.

"We — and the islands we live on — are here to stay. The Great Bear Rainforest has been, and will continue to be, defined by those of us who live here."

@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions As far as charitable orgs needing to be banned, 😂! All the orgs were audited by Harper and none were found in contravention of laws. So Krause would like to ban free speech? Perhaps this film needs to be banned? Umm.. that's in direct contravention of the Charter too! 😂

@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions The reason the orgs listed on the back end of this farce of a movie is because Krause is neither a professional, nor a journalist and they know that her conspiracy theory has been debunked by experts.

@JackieForrest @OverABarrelDoc @FairQuestions @threadreaderapp unroll please.
