    a supposedly independent, third-party report that Enbridge—Ontario’s gas utility—commissioned to argue for natural gas contains data that erroneously inflated the cost of switching from natural gas to electricity for home heating. The company has cited the inaccurate information to try to convince the utility commission and the public to let it expand natural gas pipe capacity in the province

    and

    Last November, the Competition Bureau launched a groundbreaking inquiry into the Canadian Gas Association, an industry lobby group, over one of its advertising campaigns that painted natural gas as “clean” and “affordable.” If the inquiry confirms the organization’s statements are misleading and false, it will need to stop using those terms to advertise its product, issue a retraction and potentially pay a $10-million fine.

      Ahhh yes, the very scary $10M cost of doing business expense for the oil industry. I’m sure this will change their minds about destroying the planet. 😵
