In Canada, the True North Centre for Public Policy has received $530,000 in contributions from the foundation of fracking pioneer Gwyn Morgan since 2019. Morgan, known for overseeing early fracking wells and as a former CEO of Encana, opposes climate action and has used True North as a platform for his views. The website, which has connections to Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, has been identified as a major source of climate disinformation, generating substantial social media engagement. Morgan's financial backing of True North has not been publicly disclosed prior to this revelation, raising questions about the transparency of its funding.
