Bust Big Oil’s Propaganda – and have fun doing it
Big Oil billionaires and their political allies want us to believe fossil fuels mean stability and growth. They don’t. New pipelines and fossil fuel expansion mean short term profits for a powerful few – while the rest of us deal with destruction, climate chaos, and rising energy costs.
Right now, the federal government is reviving toxic tar sands pipelines, gutting climate policy, and undermining Indigenous rights, all while calling it “nation building.” Many of these projects aren’t even Canadian-owned! What we actually need is real resilience, like an East-West Grid delivering affordable, reliable, renewable electricity coast to coast to coast.
Toxic Trivia is sneak-attack political education. It’s a low-pressure way to fact-check the propaganda, help your campus community understand what’s at stake, and turn that understanding into action. Together, we can myth-bust industry lies – and have fun doing it!
How student groups can use Toxic Trivia on campus
Tabling at a street festival, club fair, or campus event?
Use Toxic Trivia to pull in passers-by. A few quick rounds of myth-busting is an easy way to spark conversation and hand people a reason to care, or get involved.
Already have a meeting or event planned?
Toxic Trivia works as an educational icebreaker. Drop it into your student association or residence council meeting, environmental studies class, book club, or any gathering where people are already in the room. It gets people thinking and talking about fossil fuels and climate – without it feeling like another lecture.
Want to host your own party?
Turn Toxic Trivia into the main event! Pizza, trivia, and a room full of people getting fired up about Big Oil’s lies! You bring some students together, and we’ll help fund your snacks.
