The top 12-14 ENGOs regularly coordinate messaging under an umbrella alliance known as the "Strathmere Group" - even election campaigning WITH the media. See this from Boothroyd, their ad agency "Strathmere Group (Greenpeace, Pembina Institute, WWF-Canada et al): In 2014, we planned and facilitated the Toronto skills-building workshop Campaigns and Communications 2014, where directors from Canada's 12 leading environmental organizations learned from leading market researchers, journalists and organizers, and agreed to work on shared frames and messages in advance of the 2015 federal election." http://www.boothroydco.com/clients-and-projects
Great article. Same trajectory appears to be occurring in Australia, though it appears the government recognises how important coal is to the economy though not enough to prevent coal power stations from closing. Unlike Canada, we don't have any nuclear power stations.
Politicians like Trudeau or Merkel reflect the decadence of our Western societies, they are elected and supported by the vast majority. We have become arrogant, lazy, hypermoralistic and outrightly stupid. We expect "renewable energy" to work for an industrial economy, ignoring that every energy expert knows it cannot work. Frankly, we do not deserve better than Trudeau in Canada, or Merkel-Habeck-Scholz in Germany.
People have no idea how powerful the climate ENGOs are ...financially, social media, coordinated efforts, and funding flows from govt and back to party. Pls read our reports. This is what is making election results. https://blog.friendsofscience.org/2019/05/07/environmental-charities-a-compilation-of-reports-on-their-finances-power-and-implications-for-canada/

Note that CAN-RAC often appears as part of the Strathmere Group as if one ENGO, but it is really made up of more than 100 ENGOs and ....unions.
Parker Gallant has a multi-part series on the Strathmere Group which everyone should read. https://parkergallantenergyperspectivesblog.wordpress.com/2020/09/08/the-strathmere-group-part-1/
The socialists love to implement policies which are wasteful or pointless, but gives the appearance of having value.
