Oil's deep state: how the petroleum industry undermines democracy and stops action on global warming in Alberta, and in Ottawa

By Kevin Taft. 2017

Canadian fictionBusiness and economics, Economics, Canadian authors (Non-fiction)
Human-narrated audio

Most of the writing on global warming is by scientists, academics, environmentalists, and journalists. Kevin Taft, a former leader of…

the opposition in Alberta, brings a fresh perspective through the insight he gained as an elected politician who had an insider's eyewitness view of the role of the oil industry. His answer, in brief: The oil industry has captured key democratic institutions in both Alberta and Ottawa. Taft begins his book with a perceptive observer's account of a recent court case in Ottawa which laid bare the tactics and techniques of the industry, its insiders and lobbyists. He casts dramatic new light on exactly how corporate lobbyists, politicians, bureaucrats, universities, and other organizations are working together to pursue the oil industry's agenda. He offers a brisk tour of the recent work of scholars who have developed the concepts of the deep state and institutional capture to understand how one rich industry can override the public interest. Taft views global warming and weakened democracy as two symptoms of the same problem--the loss of democratic institutions to corporate influence and control. He sees citizen engagement and direct action by the public as the only response that can unravel big oil's deep state. 2017.

Tout juste acquitté de l'accusation de meurtre qui pesait sur lui, Leo Desroches a certes retrouvé son poste au journal,…

mais il n'en demeure pas moins prisonnier des démons qui l'habitent. Décidément, l'été sera chaud à Edmonton, avec cette vague de morts suspectes qui sévit et tous les moustiques qui envahissent la ville. Or, quand Leo capte sur vidéo la négligence des sous-traitants chargés de transporter le corps d'une victime de surdose, il sait que la chance vient enfin de frapper à sa porte. De fait, il est le seul journaliste à avoir remarqué le petit sachet tombé de la housse mortuaire que les brancardiers maladroits ont quasi échappée. Ce petit sachet, Leo l'a ramassé en douce, mais il a été déçu par son contenu : de vulgaires cailloux. Néanmoins, il décide de s'intéresser à Trevor Duplessis, le cadavre malmené, et c'est ainsi qu'il apprend que l'homme œuvrait comme technicien de forage dans les mines de diamants du Nord canadien. Encore mieux : Duplessis avait récemment confié à des proches être mêlé à une sale affaire... Sur la brèche, Leo remonte avec acharnement la piste, car il ne croit plus du tout à la thèse d'une mort par surdose !
