Lobbying in Canada

Lobbying is the process through which individuals and groups articulate their interests to federal, provincial or municipal governments to influence public policy or government decision-making. Lobbyists may be paid third parties who communicate on behalf of their clients; or they may be employees of a corporation or organization seeking to influence the government. Because of the possibility for conflict of interest, lobbying is the subject of much public scrutiny. At the federal level, lobbying activities are governed by the Lobbying Act. Provinces and municipalities have their own lobbying laws and by-laws.

Lodgepole Blowout

The Lodgepole Blowout was an industrial disaster that occurred from October to December 1982 in Alberta. The sour gas well blew out and released an estimated 5.66 million cubic meters per day of poisonous and carcinogenic hydrogen sulfide sour gas, along with other toxins, for 68 days. Contamination spread as far as Saskatchewan. It is considered the worst sour gas blowout in Alberta’s history and one of the worst industrial accidents in Canadian history. The blowout was determined to be the consequence of poor regulation of the fossil fuel industry. Two people were killed trying to cap the blowout, 16 others were hospitalized and thousands more became ill.

Logo, a symbol, mark or word used by a corporation or other organization to distinguish its products, services or identity from those of anyone else. First used in 1937, the term was originally an abbreviation for "logogram" or "logotype" (both derived in part from Greek logos, "word"). It came into general use in Canada among marketers and designers in the 1960s, and by the mid-1970s it had become, to the layman, a synonym for "trademark."
