Joe Oliver

Credentials

Background

Joe Oliver is the former Canadian Minister of Natural Resources (2011-2014) and Minister of Finance, serving under former prime minister Stephen Harper.⁴ ⁵

Oliver joined the board of trustees of the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) in May 2024.⁶ GWPF has worked to oppose what it describes as “extremely damaging and harmful policies” designed to mitigate climate change. ⁷

While working as Minister of Natural Resources, Oliver was described by Macleans as Stephen Harper’s “secret weapon” and “one of the Harper government’s most strategic assets.”⁸

According to Oliver, who is a regular contributor at the Financial Post and Toronto Sun, “[t]he complexity of climate science is not settled,”⁹ and carbon dioxide is “a miracle molecule” that “increases the amount of food that plants produce through fertilization.”¹⁰

On his LinkedIn account, Oliver lists himself as a director of the Canada Strong and Free Network, formerly the Manning Centre.¹¹ The Canada Strong and Free Network was listed as a partner of Atlas Network as recently as 2021, the last year Atlas Network publicly recorded its members on its website.¹²

According to his LinkedIn account, Oliver was also a director of High Arctic Energy Services from 2016 to 2025.¹³ High Arctic Energy Services is an Alberta-based company that offers rental equipment to the oil and gas industry.¹⁴

Stance on Climate Change

November 5, 2024

“Climate alarmism is facing daunting scientific, economic and political challenges to its credibility with the public and its influence on government policy in Europe, the United States and Canada. It may finally have reached an historic turning point,” Oliver wrote in the Financial Post titled “We’re at a climate policy turning-point.”¹⁵

He added:¹⁶

“The public is constantly warned about a dangerous surge in warming since the late 1970s due to increased man-made GHG emissions. But a recent peer-reviewed article by five academicians with expertise in oceanography, mathematics and statistics contradicts that conventional wisdom. They find no statistically significant change in the warming rate beyond the 1970s — even though emissions have risen 121 per cent since then, from 24 billion metric tonnes in 1970 to 53 billion in 2023.”¹⁷

Oliver also cited climate change skeptic John F. Clauser, a board member of the CO2 Coalition,¹⁸ noting he “is one of 1,960 scientists and professionals from around the world, including 146 Canadians, who have signed the Clintel World Climate Declaration, whose central message is that there is no climate emergency.”¹⁹

According to Oliver, “Net zero is unattainable without devastating economic and social costs — and may be unattainable, period. Canada cannot on its own make a discernible difference to the global climate. And, therefore, climate policies are mainly an extremely expensive form of virtue-signalling.”²⁰

July 2, 2024

“We hear incessantly from the prime minister and the minister for environment and climate change that carbon dioxide is dangerous ‘pollution’ that poses an existential threat to humanity. In fact, as the study explains, it is a miracle molecule that is the basis for nearly all life on the planet. Higher CO2 increases the amount of food that plants produce through fertilization,” Oliver wrote in the Financial Post in an article titled “Scientific method counters climate alarmism,” using materials from climate change deniers Richard Lindzen, William Happer, and Steven Koonin as evidence.²¹

“Conversely, reducing carbon dioxide through net-zero policies could inflict hunger and malnutrition on hundreds of millions of people,” Oliver added.²²

August 13, 2023

“I don’t think we should lose sleep about an imminent climate emergency. I’m losing sleep about what the climate alarmists are doing to the economy,” Oliver said when he was a guest on the True North The Andrew Lawton Show.²³

July 26, 2023

Oliver wrote the following at the Financial Post:²⁴

“Climate alarmists have a fundamental problem, however, which may help explain their stridency. The complexity of climate science is not settled, as Steve E. Koonin, a physicist and former undersecretary for science in Barack Obama’s Department of Energy, explained in his 2021 book, Unsettled. Other prominent scientists agree, although they are a distinct minority.²⁵

Nor is climate apocalypse supported by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), even though its conclusions go farther than the scientific studies on which it allegedly relies. Proffered evidence is based on models that have consistently run hot.”²⁶

June 29, 2023

Oliver described a Senate bill that would discourage fossil fuel investment as “unhinged” in an article in the Financial Post.²⁷

“Bill S-243, the ‘Climate-Aligned Finance Act,’ is the antithesis of thoughtful reconsideration, Oliver wrote. He claimed, “… it would undermine free markets, with potentially debilitating consequences for financial institutions, the energy sector and the Canadian economy in general.”²⁸

“The bill’s unhinged displacement of the market would be a vainglorious gesture in a world where greenhouse gases continue to hit historically high levels, big emitters like China and India put development ahead of climate change and fossil fuels continue to account for 80 per cent of energy,” Oliver added, concluding “No doubt climate alarmists will find it reassuring that the bill is extreme, with no hint of moderation. Reasonable Canadians should be alarmed.”²⁹

June 21, 2023

“Canada only represents 1.5 per cent of global emissions, so cannot measurably impact global temperatures even if we went back to Stone Age levels of energy use, which some Gaians seem to want. In any event, we have missed every GHG target so far set by our governments. Meanwhile, our unwillingness to develop and export oil and gas will not diminish global consumption or production from foreign countries with dreadful human rights and environmental records,” Oliver wrote in the Financial Post.³⁰

April 12, 2013

“I think that people aren’t as worried as they were before about global warming of two degrees,” Oliver said in an interview with Montreal newspaper La Presse,³¹ translated at Macleans. “Scientists have recently told us that our fears (on climate change) are exaggerated,” he said.³²

The Pembina Institute responded to Oliver’s claims on its blog, commenting that “Minister Oliver is quoted that he did not read the climate change section of the IEA report or their warning about locking into a path to dangerous climate change” which shows that there is also a scenario “where governments get serious about climate change, the IEA forecasts a 10 per cent drop in world oil demand between 2010 and 2035.”³³

“The New Policies scenario that Minister Oliver referenced gives a 94 per cent chance of exceeding this level,” The Pembina Institute noted.³⁴

December 15, 2020

“Computer models on which allegedly incontrovertible conclusions are based were almost invariably exaggerated on the upside, often immensely so. An unimpeachably alarmist source, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, could not find evidence that extreme weather is caused by climate change. Higher GHG emissions are very beneficial for plant life and agriculture. Hypocritical rhetoric aside, the biggest national emitters are not doing their part. Canada cannot lower global temperatures, no matter how grievous the harm government inflicts on our most economically vulnerable, the deepening alienation it fosters in the West and the crushing financial burden it bequeaths to our children,” Oliver claimed in an article at the Toronto Sun.³⁵

Key Quotes

April 9, 2025

“Like Trudeau, Carney is a left-leaning, climate-obsessed globalist — a Laurentian elitist who sees big government as the solution to most problems, whether real, imagined or self-imposed. He appears ambitious and narcissistic, is often casual with the truth, is compromised by conflicts of interest and seems beholden to the ‘basic Chinese dictatorship’,” Oliver wrote in the Financial Post.³⁶

February 19, 2025

“In the rest of the world, climate alarmism is dying. The new United States administration has dismissed it and it’s collapsing across Europe, too. The world’s largest money manager the largest global banks, including Canada’s five biggest, have abandoned two U.N.-sponsored, Carney-initiated financial organizations created to support decarbonization by effectively strangling fossil fuel financing. Yet Carney persists in climate alarmism that would condemn Canada to further economic decline in a futile and prohibitively expensive pursuit of net zero,” Oliver wrote in the Financial Post.³⁷

February 6, 2025

“[S]ome of the [US] president’s complaints about Canada are defensible: Our porous continent-wide border does permit fentanyl, illegal migrants and probably other bad things as well to cross over into the U.S.,” Oliver wrote at the Financial Post.³⁸

July 2, 2024

Writing in the Financial Post, Oliver concluded that CO2 is actually a “miracle molecule”:³⁹

“We hear incessantly from the prime minister and the minister for environment and climate change that carbon dioxide is dangerous ‘pollution’ that poses an existential threat to humanity. In fact, as the study explains, it is a miracle molecule that is the basis for nearly all life on the planet. Higher CO2 increases the amount of food that plants produce through fertilization. … Conversely, reducing carbon dioxide through net-zero policies could inflict hunger and malnutrition on hundreds of millions of people.”

May 16, 2024

When he joined the board of trustees of GWPF, Oliver gave the following statement:⁴⁰

“The GWPF has a remarkable track record of climate and energy research and policy analysis based on science and economics. Its contribution is especially crucial at a time when governments are spending tens of trillions of dollars globally on unrealistic and dysfunctional programs that needlessly damage the welfare of billions of people, especially those most economically disadvantaged. I am honoured to be invited to join its Board of Trustees.”

November 21, 2024

“Trump’s nominee for energy secretary — Chris Wright, a climate skeptic — will further isolate Canada in its climate catastrophism,” Oliver wrote in the Financial Post in an article titled “Trump 2.0 will force us to solve important problems we’ve been ducking” (link added by DeSmog).⁴¹

He added, “Wright, who has called net zero a ‘sinister goal,’ was briefly censored by LinkedIn for posting a video in which he said, ‘There is no climate crisis and we’re not in the midst of an energy transition either.’ U.S. policies will favour fracking, abandonment of green subsidies and approval of new resource projects, including Keystone XL.”⁴²

Oliver says, “In this radically new environment, we could free ourselves from costly and ineffective climate obsession, create jobs, generate economic growth and the revenue it brings in for social programs, and in partnership with the U.S. enhance our energy security.”⁴³

Oliver also noted, “In the negotiations that are coming, we can leverage our oil, gas and minerals, including rare earths, which bring us real strength in the relationship.”⁴⁴

January 30, 2024

“I want [Pierre] Poilievre to win,” Oliver wrote in a Financial Post column titled “Liberals underestimate Pierre Poilievre at their peril.”⁴⁵

“Pro-choice and pro-gay marriage, Poilievre is a family man with two young children and a bright, personable wife,” Oliver claimed. He went on to describe Poilievre as “highly articulate,” “an unabashed patriot,” and “no fan of woke elitists.”⁴⁶

December 5, 2023

“Woke progressives cancel speakers who deviate from conventional orthodoxy and make them feel ‘unsafe.’ Yet they and their jihad-sympathizing friends become free-speech absolutists when they chant, ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.’ They intimidated, assaulted and hurled death threats at Jews and vandalized synagogues, community centres and Jewish-owned businesses across Canada, reminiscent of Kristallnacht in Nazi Germany,” Oliver wrote at the National Post in an article titled “Trudeau’s woke agenda fails to curb antisemitic outbreak.”⁴⁷

October 4, 2023

“The progressive conceit that Canada can serve as a moral leader on climate change was always egotistical nonsense,” Oliver wrote in the Financial Post. He added, “The world is bemused by our self-harm and irritated by our hectoring, especially since we have missed our Paris Accord commitments and every other target we ever set.”⁴⁸

September 21, 2023

Discussing Alberta’s intentions to withdraw from the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and set up an Alberta Pension Plan (APP), Oliver suggested the change “could be very beneficial to its pensioners” in an article in the Toronto Sun.⁴⁹

“With hoped-for capital infusion, an APP would be very secure, able to maintain pension payments for the next 75 years, while reducing the contribution rate and/or increasing benefits to its pensioners,” Oliver claimed.⁵⁰

March 20, 2022

“Vladimir Putin’s brutal invasion of Ukraine has clarified for the world, except those wilfully blind, that green policies weakened Europe and emboldened the ruthless dictator to reclaim territory of the former Soviet Empire,” Oliver wrote in the Toronto Sun.⁵¹

May 6, 2020

“Climate models significantly over-estimated global temperature increases, but the incessantly repeated mantra was ‘We are running out of time,’ Oliver wrote in an article at the Toronto Sun titled “Climate alarmism lurks behind COVID-19.”⁵²

“Yet we are asked to do irreparable harm to the economy, based on forecasts years away about an extremely complex ecosystem that scientists do not claim to fully understand, even as they convey certainty about their doomsday prophesying,” he added.⁵³

“Canadians cannot afford to indulge in hugely expensive gestures when our overarching challenge is to climb out of an immense fiscal hole. So choices must be made in the national interest.”⁵⁴

November 26, 2018

“Alarmists never acknowledge the positives of higher carbon dioxide which fertilizes plants and reduces vulnerability to drought, creating a larger tree canopy and more agricultural land. Also, cold weather kills 20 times as many people as hot weather, according to an international study published in the Lancet,” Oliver wrote at the Toronto Sun.⁵⁵

March 1, 2018

“Trump has accomplished more than his detractors will admit, while Trudeau has achieved less than his admirers pretend. Justin may have been more popular in Davos, but The Donald was far more influential, not only because of American power, but also because of how he is using it to build his country’s economy,” Oliver wrote at the Toronto Sun.”⁵⁶

March 5, 2013

“The oil sands are a greener alternative than some other sources from around the world,” The Globe and Mail reported that Oliver said in a news conference in Chicago.⁵⁷

“Many opponents are spreading false information about the oil sands, especially its impact on the environment,” he said in his speech promoting the Keystone pipeline to the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.⁵⁸

“Canada is the environmentally responsible choice for the U.S. to meet its energy needs in oil for years to come,” Oliver said.⁵⁹

Key Actions

March 26, 2025

In an article at the Financial Post, Oliver wrote that in response to the U.S. tariffs, Canada should increase natural resource production, including pipelines and LNG:⁶⁰

“At the top of the to-do list: develop our immense natural resources, build pipelines and LNG liquefaction plants, transport fossil fuels to tidewater and sell more to overseas markets. Exploiting our rich inheritance would strengthen our independence and sovereignty, precisely what we need to counter Trump’s tariffs and 51st-state talk,” Oliver claimed.⁶¹

He added, “Secure, affordable energy would address regional alienation, assist our beleaguered European allies and help Asians reduce global emissions by replacing coal with natural gas.”⁶²

According to Oliver, “… to achieve these vital goals a new government needs to do what Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has requested: lift both the West Coast tanker ban and the cap on oilsands emissions, and commit to shorter deadlines for regulatory approvals, including by repealing the Impact Assessment Act.”⁶³

“Increasingly isolated in its climate obsession, Canada simply cannot afford exorbitant anti-growth net-zero policies,” Carney wrote. “New Liberal Leader Mark Carney is a climate alarmist through and through,” he added.⁶⁴

January 14, 2025

Oliver wrote an article at the Financial Post titled “Time to start benefiting from our vast natural wealth again,” describing Pierre Poilievre becoming prime minister as “all but certain.” He suggested that the “obvious path” forward would be increased natural resource development.⁶⁵

“When Pierre Poilievre becomes prime minister, as still seems all but certain even after Justin Trudeau’s exit, he will face acute economic problems: out-of-control spending, massive deficits, ballooning debt and crushing interest obligations, as well as insipid productivity and lagging growth in real GDP per capita,” Oliver began.⁶⁶

“He will need — we will need — faster income growth but without raising taxes. Accelerating the development of Canada’s abundant natural resources is the obvious path, though that means taking on climate alarmists, green lobbyists feeding at the public trough and assorted other rent-seekers. It is a safe bet no Liberal leadership candidate will do that, especially Mark Carney, an official UN climate doomsayer.”⁶⁷

July 2, 2024

Oliver wrote an article titled “Scientific method counters climate alarmism” in the Financial Post, where he claimed an “expert opinion” from noted climate change deniers Richard Lindzen, William Happer, and Steven Koonin was “a devastating refutation of climate catastrophism.”⁶⁸

“Although seriously outnumbered in their views, they are not alone,” Oliver wrote, further citing John F. Clauser as an example.⁶⁹

According to Oliver, “This country’s public authorities promote their intrusive, exorbitant agenda by hectoring Canadians to ‘trust the science.'” He added, “As Michael Crichton pithily pointed out, however, ‘If it’s consensus, it isn’t science. If it is science, it isn’t consensus.'”⁷⁰

Oliver concluded that CO2 is a “miracle molecule”:⁷¹

June 11, 2024

Oliver wrote an article in the Financial Post claiming new anti-greenwashing rules were “part of the war on free enterprise.”⁷²

“This latest sortie in the left-wing assault on the free enterprise system may be an unconstitutional infringement of free expression, but that hardly worries authoritarian progressives, who, dedicated to saving the world from climate apocalypse, are always more comfortable with central control than individual rights,” Oliver wrote.

“The new laws will hit companies making net-zero or carbon-reduction claims that cannot be substantiated using an undefined internationally recognized methodology,” he added. “The obvious purpose of such draconian punishment is to silence oil and gas companies. The government does not want the industry to present itself in a positive light, irrespective of the facts,” Oliver said.⁷³

He continued:

“Because climate change purportedly poses an existential threat to humanity, Greens clearly feel their policies, no matter how expensive and severe, are justifiable. Anyone who voices skepticism is not only wrong but evil and must be demeaned, de-platformed and punished. True believers and rent-seekers alike demand that free expression and debate be crushed for fear the public might realize ‘the science’ is not settled, emissions targets are unachievable and geopolitical rivals and commercial competitors are laughing all the way to the bank.”

Joe Oliver was present at the Canada Strong and Free Network conference, where True North’s Andrew Lawton interviewed him as part of The Andrew Lawton Show.⁷⁴

Discussing ways to improve GDP per capita, Oliver commented:

“One critical element, you start developing our natural resources and start exporting them to overseas markets.” [23:11]⁷⁵

April 5, 2024

Oliver listed his interpretation of “irrational ideas that defy common sense and drive dystopian policies” in a Financial Post article. One of his first examples was DEI (Diversity, equity, and inclusion):⁷⁶

“A centrepiece of postmodern ideology is DEI which, by dividing us all into oppressor or oppressed, is neither diverse, nor equitable nor inclusive but conformist, unfair and exclusionary,” Oliver claimed, adding, “It undermines excellence, productivity and competitiveness and is largely responsible for the assault on truth and inquiry at schools and universities, which have become left-wing breeding grounds for Gen Z.”⁷⁷

On climate change, he commented:⁷⁸

“As for climate catastrophism, there are innumerable examples of the zany policies it has led to,” Oliver wrote.⁷⁹

He further claimed, “The cost for Canada to reach net zero by 2050 will be at least $2 trillion — about $180,000 for a family of four.” He added, “The prime minister’s claim we must act now to avoid extreme weather is simply misinformation.”⁸⁰

“Despite incessant warnings from governments and media about a climate crisis, most people are unwilling to pay much to alleviate it. The climate consensus currently unravelling in Europe never caught on in the developing world.”⁸¹

In another example, Oliver wrote, “… the grand prize for cognitive dissonance goes to ‘Gays for Palestine,’ who would be at high risk of arrest or defenestration in Gaza or the West Bank, though not in Tel Aviv, one of the world’s best places to celebrate pride.”⁸²

Discussing gender issues, he wrote, “Males who identify as women and use women’s washrooms and compete against women in sports are hailed as avatars of progress while anyone who points out that this could put women at risk or female athletes at a disadvantage can have their career destroyed. Get ready for complaints brought under the deeply flawed ‘Online Harms Bill,’ C-63, which could impose sentences of up to life imprisonment for speech crimes.”⁸³

“Irrational, illiberal ideas are now entrenched in our most important institutions and the public is becoming habituated to them,” Oliver concluded.⁸⁴

February 14, 2024

In an article at the Financial Post, Oliver suggested the “OSFI [Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions] should get back in its lane and concentrate on finance, not climate policy.”⁸⁵

“What makes OSFI oversight unrealistic is that the climate scenarios it insists institutions consider are based on the UN’s ‘Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5,’ basically a worst-case scenario,” Oliver claimed.⁸⁶

January 23, 2024

Oliver inaccurately⁸⁷ blamed renewable energy on rolling blackouts in Alberta in a Financial Post article titled “If climate blowhards could power windmills, we’d all be OK.⁸⁸

“So the crisis was self-inflicted, a result of excessive reliance on intermittent renewable energy,” Oliver claimed. “It’s a wake-up call for Alberta but it should be for the rest of Canada, too.”⁸⁹

Oliver wrote, “The immediate causes of inadequate dispatchable power generation were that: one natural gas plant was off grid, another was operating partially, the sun did not shine during the peak 4-7 p.m. period and wind turbines can’t operate in extreme cold, when they are needed most.”⁹⁰

December 12, 2023

Oliver wrote a Financial Post article describing COP28 as “futile climate theatrics.”⁹¹

November 21, 2023

“For all the pain and divisiveness they have brought, Canada’s climate policies, even if they achieved their net-zero fantasy, would have only a minuscule impact on global temperatures,” Oliver claimed in an article at the Financial Post.⁹²

August 15, 2023

In the Financial Post, Oliver discussed “The perils of rushing to net-zero electricity.” Oliver claimed a federal mandate to reach a “virtually unachievable net-zero national electricity grid by 2035 … will undermine electricity’s reliability and affordability and cost $54 billion.”⁹³

“The Clean Energy Regulations should be scrapped,” he concluded.⁹⁴

August 13, 2023

Oliver was a guest on The Andrew Lawton Show at True North, where he “joined True North’s Andrew Lawton to explain why the science is not, in fact, settled, and how overblown climate policies are leading to unnecessary economic strain.”⁹⁵

Some notable quotes from the episode:

Joe Oliver: [00:02:05] You recall it was global warming, and then when it didn’t warm, it became climate change, but there was always this intensity, almost a quasi-religious fervor, or certainly an ideological fervor that that was that was behind the rhetoric, and there are all sorts of incantations of doom and priests and priestesses that were carrying the sacred message and if you weren’t onside, and totally onside, then of course you weren’t just a skeptic. You were a denier. [00:02:44]

Joe Oliver: [00:04:35] I think that part of the fervor and the fundamental insecurity, I guess, is that it’s based on, allegedly, a profound belief that the science is settled, and we’ve all heard that repeated endlessly. So there’s no reason for anybody to listen to someone who might want to present scientists who have a different view. And let me tell you, there are thousands of them that do, even though they’re in the minority. So you know, what explains that, and I think it goes to the ideological or religious commitment. And it just doesn’t tolerate any dissent. [00:05:21]

Joe Oliver: [00:12:38] Well, they don’t want to talk about it, but Canada is 1.5 percent of global emissions. So we could go back to the Stone Age and it wouldn’t affect anything. Within a few weeks, China’s increase in coal production would make up for that. [00:12:54]

Joe Oliver: [00:14:54] The other thing that’s really important to understand is that the science is not settled. There’s a book written by Steven Koonin, who was an undersecretary of energy and is a scientist in the Obama administration, and the title of his book is Unsettled. So that would indicate where he’s coming from. [00:15:19] (DeSmog link added.)

Joe Oliver: [00:16:48] I don’t think we should lose sleep about an imminent climate emergency. I’m losing sleep about what the climate alarmists are doing to the economy. [00:17:01]

May 24, 2023

In a Financial Post article titled “Wind and solar can have a role in our electricity system, but are not a panacea,” Oliver discussed “striking parallels between the role of renewables and a problem I confronted when I was appointed federal minister of natural resources in May 2011.”⁹⁶

“The oilsands were being vilified as a supposedly major source of GHG emissions responsible for catastrophic global warming,” Oliver wrote. He then claimed they “generated a minuscule one thousandth [sic] of the world total” and claimed “the media suppressed the number.”⁹⁷

“The reason, which largely continues to this day, was that the facts contradicted alarmist portrayals of the oilsands. Reality that can’t be denied has to be buried,” he wrote.⁹⁸

Oliver’s points disregard that tar sands production is among North America’s most carbon-intensive crudes.⁹⁹

In 2024, The Guardian reported, citing research published in the journal Science, that Canadian tar sands pollution was also “up to 6,300% higher than reported,” also noting that “the amount of climate-polluting greenhouse gases emitted per barrel of tar sands oil can be 30% higher than conventional oil.”¹⁰⁰

August 9, 2019

“Canadians should welcome Alberta Premier Jason Kenney’s inquiry into foreign financing opposition to the oilsands because it will investigate a significant problem for the entire country,” Oliver wrote in the Toronto Sun.¹⁰¹

Oliver went on to recount his history as minister of natural resources:¹⁰²

“Back in January 2012, as minister of natural resources, I denounced American funding of domestic radicals trying to block Canada’s resource development. Exposing an inconvenient truth generated a cacophony of outrage and derision from those who benefitted from the Yankee moolah or welcomed any help to block pipeline projects.”¹⁰³

Oliver wrote, “When asked by a reporter how I defined a radical, I answered it was someone who opposed every major resource development in the country.”¹⁰⁴

November 26, 2018

Oliver wrote a column at the Toronto Sun titled “Climate change alarmists seriously harm the economy.” ¹⁰⁵

According to Oliver, the “profound belief that we must rapidly reduce our dependency on Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emitting fossil fuels or climate change will inflict irreparable harm to life on the planet” is “at best grossly exaggerated or simply false.”¹⁰⁶

Oliver claimed, “Alarmists never acknowledge the positives of higher carbon dioxide which fertilizes plants and reduces vulnerability to drought, creating a larger tree canopy and more agricultural land. Also, cold weather kills 20 times as many people as hot weather, according to an international study published in the Lancet.”¹⁰⁷

He also pointed to Patrick Moore “for perspective,” claiming “that over the past 600 million years global temperatures ranged from 12 degrees to 22 degrees Celsius. Currently, we are at 14.5 degrees, i.e. at the colder end of the range. GHG emissions are now 406 parts per million, compared to the historical average of 2,000 ppm where plants thrive.¹⁰⁸

December 4, 2017

Oliver wrote the following in an article titled “Canadians need to wake up to our buried energy riches” at the Toronto Sun:¹⁰⁹

“[I]f we do not build pipelines our assets will be stranded, like money left under a mattress, but with a fundamental difference. We may not have forever to retrieve the resource wealth. There could be a time, although it is not imminent, when carbon taxes and burdensome regulations dramatically drive up fossil fuels costs and technological breakthroughs make alternatives more competitive. Then our oil and gas might have no value. That is a compelling reason to draw on our fabulous inheritance before it disappears.”

January 9, 2012

DeSmog reported¹¹⁰ Oliver published an open letter in the Globe and Mail and the Wall Street Journal, where he “Oattacked Canadians who oppose oilsands expansion and advocate for investment in cleaner sources of energy, calling them ‘radicals…with radical ideological agenda[s]’ who ‘use funding from foreign special interest groups to undermine Canada’s national economic interest.'”¹¹¹

June 2011

Macleans reported that, in June 2011, Oliver “promised that chrysotile asbestos, a carcinogen known to cause lung disease, could be used ‘in a safe and controlled manner,’ in support of the foundering Quebec asbestos industry, a Harper campaign promise. He also finalized the sale of Atomic Energy of Canada to SNC-Lavalin. ‘That was big, an important statement,’ says Oliver.”¹¹²

According to the log of the House of Commons’ Debates, Oliver testified the following on June 21, 2011:¹¹³

“Mr. Speaker, for over 30 years the Government of Canada has promoted the safe and controlled use of chrysotile, both domestically and internationally.

“Our position at Rotterdam is the same as it is in Canada. All scientific reviews clearly confirm that chrysotile fibres can be used safely under controlled situations.”¹¹⁴
