Focusing on the 2019–2021 “Public Inquiry into Anti-Alberta Energy Campaigns,” the chapter traces a shift from “national interest” messaging to enemy construction and smear tactics that depict opponents as foreign‑funded radicals. It conceptualizes this shift as extractive populism: a petro‑bloc politics that moralizes markets, securitizes dissent, and operationalizes “the people” through platform‑mediated mobilization and state‑adjacent branding, while channelling solutions toward communication strategy rather than regulatory change. The chapter demonstrates how this repertoire retools Polanyi’s double movement to defend markets, infrastructures, and export corridors as objects of protection.

摘要

Focusing on the 2019–2021 “Public Inquiry into Anti-Alberta Energy Campaigns,” the chapter traces a shift from “national interest” messaging to enemy construction and smear tactics that depict opponents as foreign‑funded radicals. It conceptualizes this shift as extractive populism: a petro‑bloc politics that moralizes markets, securitizes dissent, and operationalizes “the people” through platform‑mediated mobilization and state‑adjacent branding, while channelling solutions toward communication strategy rather than regulatory change. The chapter demonstrates how this repertoire retools Polanyi’s double movement to defend markets, infrastructures, and export corridors as objects of protection.
