Murphy, Mansbridge under fire for oil industry connections

The Daily Brew reports that critics are pillorying Mansbridge over his paid speaking engagements before energy-industry audiences.
The flap blew up following a tweet by environmentalist Sierra Rayne a few days ago.
Rayne followed that up with tweets about other appearances at oil and gas events.
Podcast site Canadaland confirmed Mansbridge's 2012 speech before the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) from the group's Facebook page which said he "articulated that energy has moved to the forefront of news, economic, environment, safety."
The information came just a couple of weeks after the flap over Mansbridge colleague Rex Murphy's paid appearance in front of a group of energy executives last fall. The TV commentator and host of radio's Cross-Canada Checkup lambasted oilsands critics and called development of the industry a "national endeavour," as the Calgary Herald reported at the time.
