It has been about a month since we launched the Federal Oil & Gas Lobbying Bot on Twitter.
Since then, it has been tweeting out a constant stream of announcements
about which oil & gas companies and associations have been lobbying
which Canadian government politicians and ministries. (Read more about the bot.)
We’ve looked at the raw data from the lobbyist registry, and pulled out highlights from September, the most recent month with complete data.
Fossil fuel lobbyists met with government officials a minimum of 102 times in September: over four times per working day.
This only counts the federal government, not provincial or territorial governments.
