Long-time Alberta Reformer, a Friends of Science Booster

authordefault
By Richard Littlemore

Long-time Alberta Reformer, Morten Paulsen, who most recently acted as co-chair for the 2006 Alberta/Klein PC party, is also the registered lobbyist for the anti-Kyoto attack group, the Friends of Science (FOS).

This apparently fits well with Paulsenโ€™s other lobbying activities: he is also registered to represent ConocoPhillips Canada, the 3rd largest oil refiner and exploration company in theย Canada.

Given how quick FOS members are to deny taking money from oil and gas interests, we must assume that Mr. Paulsenโ€™s oily overlap is purelyย coincidental.
