Abstract
This thesis explores the area of energy communication research while focusing specifically on the Canadian political realm. Currently within Canada, energy policy is discussed in a manner that cross-markets two seemingly incongruent goals -- to grow the economy in green technology and increase market access to further promote oil and gas development. Rooted in strategic communication theory, this dissertation explores the dynamic, ever-changing social landscape surrounding the debate through the scholars Norbert Elias and Pierre Bourdieu. Based on the analysis and results, this work sets forth a suggested communications strategy to policymakers that may better inform Canadian citizens on complicated energy issues.
