Most of the cash came from oil companies such as Crescent Point, Cenovus, Encana and PennWest, though the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association, the Canadian Western Bank and construction company PCL also contributed.

Political parties in Alberta haven’t been able to accept out-of-province donations since 1977.

The NDP last year campaigned on getting big money out of politics, and Bill 1 passed by the new government banned corporate and union donations.
