Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox organization

The Frontier Centre for Public Policy (FCPP) is a Canadian public policy think tank,[1] founded to "undertake research and education projects in support of economic growth and social outcomes that enhance quality of life".[2] Among the positions promoted by the Centre is climate change denial.

Publications and controversies

Canadian Indian residential school system

In September 2018, the Frontier Centre ran a radio ad which asked "are Canadians being told the whole truth" about the Canadian Indian residential school system.[3] According to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), the ad stated that the "average stay was less than five years and the vast majority of Aboriginal youth never attended", and that "there is little evidence that abuse that was suffered by a grandparent had any affect on the academic success of the generations that followed".[3] CBC quoted a professor who described the Frontier Centre's position as "egregiously wrong" and "knowingly turning its back on the facts."[3] Perry Bellegarde of the Assembly of First Nations denounced the ad for downplaying the "overwhelming research and evidence that shows the harmful, negative impacts of residential school".[3]

The Centre published in 2021 an anthology of 13 articles criticizing editorial, legal and historical defects in the publications of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (2015). A general theme was that the TRC 500-page Summary, published first, does not reflect even-handedly the 3,000 other pages of the final report (in six volumes.)[4]

Climate Change

The Centre has published several articles against the scientific consensus on climate change.[5][6][7][8] In 2011 and 2012 the Frontier Centre put on its website and in letters allegations of fraud made by Timothy Ball against climate scientist Michael E. Mann, who issued a lawsuit. In June 2019 the Frontier Centre apologised for publishing "untrue and disparaging accusations which impugned the character of Dr. Mann." It said that Mann had "graciously accepted our apology and retraction".[9][10][11]

Funding

The Frontier Centre does not receive government funding. Funding comes from private charitable foundations (63%) such as the Aurea Foundation and the Heartland Institute,[12] businesses (18%), individuals (18%), and by events (1%).[2]
