As climate action gains traction across Canada, a quiet feud is brewing in the oilsands over the best way to continue extracting fossil fuels in an era of decarbonization.
In an era of decarbonization, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers appears to be losing its influence on federal policy. But that doesn't mean Big Oil is on the way out.
