X-Site Energy Services says in a statement posted to its website that it recognizes it’s not enough to apologize for the image that unleashed a torrent of online outrage last week. It says it’s committed to recovering and destroying all the decals it distributed and says it hopes everyone stops republishing the image.The company adds that management takes full responsibility and organizational changes have been made to reflect this.A call to Doug Sparrow, who was listed as X-Site’s general manager last week, went straight to voice mail and he did not immediately respond to a message seeking further clarification.

Greta Thunberg responds to graphic decal bearing Alta. oilfield company logoClimate activist Greta Thunberg has responded to a graphic decal which appears to use the 17-year-old Swede’s likeness. Seriously though, what kind of moron would make that sort of image? This isn’t about the political left or right; this is about low IQs. We might need to make Albertans take an extra grade in school. Ummm, if we still had funding for schools. Ignorant girl should still be in school. I don't agree with this tactic. But I also do not agree with Greta. We have a small population here in Canada. India and China have over a billion citizens each. We could live spartan lives and half starve ourselves to death and it will not have an overall impact.
