Tides is not the only organization involved in the anti-oilsands efforts, but it rivals the Rockefeller Brothers Fund as the best known. This paper profiles the 51 Canadian organizations that the Tides Foundation gave USD $20,000 or more in 2016.

They are ranked in order of the dollar amounts they received, with figures in U.S. dollars.

Changes to law and policy to prevent this international interference are worth consideration. In the meantime, Canada keeps losing.
