A career #OilAndGas #insider will soon be shaping #ClimatePolicy in #Alberta’s department of #Environment and #ProtectedAreas.

After a decade working in various roles for the #Canadian Association of #PetroleumProducers #CAPP , Patrick McDonald has been hired by Alberta Environment and Protected Areas to serve as assistant deputy minister of air, #climate and clean technology.

The motives are more cynical than you'd think.

Look up the #BusinessRoundtable (that's their name, iwrc). They're an influential motely crew of #corporatists that lobby for exploitative, unrealistic levels of #immigration levels to continue the #exploitation of #workers.

In #Australia we have similar #lobbyGroups. They're the worst kind and celebrate the associated #assetInflation, too.
