UCP says Alberta’s energy war room’s ‘internal operations’ not subject to freedom of information lawsIt’s part of a multi-pronged approach that also includes a $2.5-million public inquiry into foreign funding of anti-oil advocacy groups.Human rights group Amnesty International Canada has warned that the war room and public inquiry threaten freedom of expression and association.“Nobody is proposing to trample on anybody’s free speech,” Kenney said Tuesday.
“We actually more than ever need to come together to figure out how to decarbonize and diversify our energy,” he said. “We need to respond to where the world and the markets and the people that are going to buy this product are going.”Alberta government says its energy war room will launch soon under ‘Canadian Energy Centre’ name
The Muttart Foundation, an established Edmonton charity, recently wrote a lengthy letter disputing the notion that opposition to Alberta’s oil and gas industry is bankrolled by foreign money. Using Canada Revenue Agency data, it found that in Alberta, 284 charities received $88.5 million from foreign sources — less than three per cent of their revenue. The University of Calgary was the top recipient, raking in 42 per cent of all foreign funding in Alberta.
GlobalCalgary CANADA yes Alberta is known world wide for the most innovation in oil and gas production that limits in missions. Thanks to these newscasts we are the only country in the world that doesn’t recognize this fact. The propaganda is this newscast.
I think we are going to see more and more of these. I have previously heard them termed as 'Digital Command Centres'. I would be interested to know what kind of tools are going to be employed here. cdnpoli
30 mil would go along way to help find alternatives to oil or feed the hungry or poor. Instead giving $$ to his buddies
GlobalEdmonton
It's essential. 2015 Fed & Alberta prov elxns had so many blatant lies unchecked. NDP based their $$ projection on 2012 numbers not 2014; they didn't know difference/ weren't corrected. PMJT gov't funded CambridgeAnalytica prototype* project+ personnel 2014-16=mislead intent
When you say environmentalists, why do you mean anyone that saw the video
GlobalBC Putting a positive spin on that clean, clean oil that’s been slandered so maliciously 🙄 okay.....
Meh
Need to start standing up to these environmentalists. Sick of hearing all their propaganda
Well I suppose “environmentalists” would recognize propaganda.
Environmentalists are propaganda.
GlobalCalgary Why isn't this going to help unemployed oil and gas workers I'm conservative bit there could be better uses for that money

You spelled '$30-million PER YEAR' wrong. slushfund UCPcorruption
You can’t complain that your province is hurting when you can spend $30Million on a propaganda outlet to spread misinformation about the oil & gas sector. I have yet to hear a Conservative say anything truthful. Expecting to hear much of the same from this partisan war room.
GlobalEdmonton Perfect spend 30 million on this and make cuts to health care and education seems about right
Looking forward to see results. It is a lot of money but is pocket change compared to the spending by the anti oil lobby.
Pot calling the kettle black with questioning ‘environmentalist’ identifying a 30 million dollar propagande wing ?! Anything you can do to help the UCP eh !
GlobalBC It's a goddam propaganda machine. HOW IS THIS LEGAL!?
Of course it's propaganda. LOL Just as environmentalists use their own brand of propaganda, sometimes with foreign money/interests. Do they even know what that word means?
It is totally propaganda. Taxpayers are on the hook for 30 million to make oil and gas corporations look good? Paying for your own brainwashing. lol
GlobalEdmonton He should join Sheer. ‘Nuff said.
GlobalCalgary Job one: investigate and expose who is behind Greta...
crtjstr10 Environmentalist are the creators and messengers of Propaganda. Period.
charlesadler Sure yeah. Only Canada's western oil is bad..........
AM980News Oh their very own propaganda mill. How nice.
globalnews Just where the hell did jkenney get $30 million to waste on his propaganda? Decimating Alberta’s services and a hand out in Ottawa, JustinTrudeau do not give him a cent until he is accountable!
630CHED Ironically, it discovers that most of these 'myths and lies' were made by the Conservatives. Kenny blames federal government and demand equal and fair weather for Alberta.
GlobalEdmonton Claim no money for anything else yet wasting 30M on pure propaganda. UCP corruption is deep, they're just blatant with it.
globalnews What a good waste of $30 million that will be...
GlobalCalgary environmentalist have always used the environment as a stick to get their hyped message of destruction out and attacking our industry. It’s time we fight back and stand up for ourselves with honest information. Keep going Premier!
globalnews Why wasn’t this money given to help out of work oil workers?
GlobalCalgary I dont believe him!
globalnews Waste of Taxpayers dollars
630CHED It’s propaganda that has brainwashed everyone to think Alberta oil is dirty and bad.
GlobalBC Why is a public official allowed to open a tax-payer funded lobbying group for private industry?
globalnewsto This Kenney dude will ruin Alberta
globalnews Liberal lie so much it had to be created.
globalnews Kenney is on the wrong side of history, a blight on all Canadians with his polluting industries and their greed.
globalnews Reminds me of the old USSR propaganda machine TASS. They lost by the way. We need a strong independent press that operates with integrity. cdnpoli
GlobalCalgary It's a crock of UCP wasting money on war instead of committing to get a deal with good intentions
GlobalDurham 'a war room to combat what HE (Alberta Premier) calls 'myths and lies' is not necessarily a place that will seek out 'myths and lies'
Gross
charlesadler The funding is coming from social programs and education. Kenney is a nightmare but the angry oilandgas people will eat it up. How do you think he got elected? We should be funding solutions – not denial & excuses & sticking our head in the oilsands.
Giant waist of money that could be used to help the people of Alberta
Isn’t it the oil and gas sectors’ job to promote themselves? Why is the Alberta government using taxpayer dollars to do it? Isn’t this borderline socialist? I thought the Cons were about the market deciding and not about picking winners and losers.
30 million!
Worth its weight in gold! Go Kenney !
Geee his economy in the tank . But wasting money on that . Conservatives logic 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
As an Albertan, it is propaganda AND I’M PAYING FOR IT!! 🤨😡
I’m looking forward to hearing details on all the foreign cash that’s been spent to shut Canada down. I think Canadians will get angry
Wasting tax payer money.
charlesadler Well it is propaganda and I'm Albertan
charlesadler Why not set up a website? Why sounds millions in taxpayers dollars to fund this nonsense?! FFS the Alberta_UCP is corrupt AF
We don't give a damn what environmentalists say, we're going to defend our province & our industry! End of story Global!
charlesadler The UCP's own 'Ministry of Truth.'
How many public service jobs did he cut and this is what he spends money on People voted for that man why
A complete and total embarrassment for Albertans and Canadians....imagine how many nurses, teachers, and social workers could this hire? How many laid off families could be supported over Christmas? Jason Kenney is Shameful
charlesadler How much Koch money is in their coffers?
And of coarse environmentalist never use propaganda oh my
