"From 2010-22, O&G received nearly one-quarter trillion dollars ($248B) in income tax deductions from capital cost allowances (CCAs), natural resource expense claims, prior year losses applied, and capital gains exemptions. The sector received an additional $16.6B in refundable tax credits. During those years, O&G ranked first among non-financial industries in tax benefits received." https://www.taxfairness.ca/en/resources/news-views/canadas-oil-gas-sector-continues-receive-tax-breaks-while-climate-commitments

@StephenRees Both #Ontario and #BritishColumbia have been captured by #extractiveIndustries and developers. The #corporatization of these provinces intends to roll over #humanrights, #IndigenousRights and title, #ecosystems health, and liveable #environments.

"Carney has talked of the need “to build things we never imagined, at a pace we never thought possible.” Imagine if this ambitious, nation-building vision wasn’t restricted to the corporate world, but could include enterprises created and owned by all of us collectively."

"A new analysis from Environmental Defence reveals that in 2024, #Canada’s federal government provided nearly $30 billion in subsidies and financing to the #fossilfuel industry, including $21 billion for the TransMountain pipeline. This financial support comes at a significant cost to taxpayers and ignores the global shift toward #renewableenergy." https://environmentaldefence.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Canadas-Fossil-Fuel-Funding-in-2024_EDC_April-2025-1.pdf
