To get the date correct, the first article that I wrote for the Financial Post about the funding of the anti-pipeline campaign was in October 2010.
I had been studying the funding of the campaign against salmon farming and aquaculture between 2007 and 2009, and in the spring of 2010 I noticed more than 30 payments for the tar sands campaign and realized that essentially a campaign was starting against some faction, some part of the oil industry. So I actually started two years earlier, in 2010 not 2012.
