Alberta Premier Jason Kenney says his government will open a “war room” within months that will seek help from like-minded social-media personalities with the mission of confronting environmentalists and silencing foes of the oil sands.
Appearing with Energy Minister Sonya Savage and representatives of organizations that promote oil and gas development, Mr. Kenney singled out for praise blogger Vivian Krause, who was also on stage. He said her work is evidence Canada faces a concerted international campaign against its energy industry. According to Mr. Kenney, the new government office will work with people such as Ms. Krause on social media.
No one has yet been named to run the office, although Mr. Kenney said he expects it to be operating by the end of summer.
I do understand Kenney's trying to keep the peace in Alberta. Those in science say we need to get off oil for the environment. We would be better spending the 30 million on renewable's advancment , and not try and push a dying horse...
that is precious...kenney is the biggest purveyor of misinformation... lol He regularly quotes a conspiracy theory spouting nutritionist
Did you guys know you can burn coal with zero pollutant emissions?
The energy industry is responsible for misinforming the world for over one hundred years. So, have at it Jason!
how is the globe and mail any better than the toronto sun?
Oh, an Alberta oil Ministry of Truth.
Here's a link to the National Geographic article on the TarSands
Great! That will save the energy industry money spinning things themselves...
you forgot the quotes on 'misinformation'
They already changed from Tar sands to Oil sands. What’s next?
ROFL Mr. Kenney. The energy sector has been 'combating misinformation' just fine since before you were born. I doubt they need your help. Heck, they raised a whole generation of climate change deniers. 👍
*spread misinformation
Hey Globe why not tell the truth jkenney giving away $30 million tax dollars to help the poor oil industry change the channel after giving them billions in a tax break
As usual, your headline is partisan and unprofessional. Cancelling my subscription today.
This headline reads like your jockeying for a position in his “misinformation” room
More crazy stuff from people back east in alberta.
Have you thought about just not parroting their narrative? You doing press releases now?
shouldn't the energy sector be the ones to fight misinformation about the energy sector? Why should Alberta Taxpayers have to pay to defend oil companies?
Great, so now the Alberta legislature is officially a climate denier?
Promote. Not combat. Promote. They've already been caught using a fake Twitter account pretending to represent BC interests: BCforTMX
The term “energy industry” is misleading. What this article talks about is the oil and gas sector and has nothing to do with wind/solar/hydro electricity sectors. Please note that the three latest sectors make up the largest portion of the energy industry.
Likely a home for well paid patronage appoiintees and nothing else.
Fix your headline this is propaganda for the industry
Kenney, speaking out of all three sides of mouth, vows to 'KEEP THE LIES ALIVE!' as he slashes teen wages, cuts corp. taxes, and pretends his province isn't on fire. ScrapOilPolitics
Irfan Sabir, Kieth Stewart, you are both liars and deserve the worst rebuke for poisoning the minds of children and hapless citizens to serve your insidious climate fanaticism. Your punishment is coming. It will be swift. It will be decisive.
Have a freaking clue, G&M. Business as usual is bad business in journalism.
whats up with the RCMP investigation into this con artist?
Aaw isn’t that cute. jkenney has his own little department of propaganda.
Pure Populism
Why doesn't this bum just have a kid with his mom,settle down and get a job?
Like all those pesky scientists
😂😂😂
Please tell me the 'war room' is a bunker 16 levels below ground surrounded by concrete and sound deadening waffle. With luck we'll never hear anything out of it.
The war-room of misinformation !
OFFS!!!!
So instead of the UCP paying, the taxpayers will pay...
Hey... I’m all for a ‘scientific room’ to combat misinformation, where objective people analyze analytical data and are honest and transparent to the public about where the conclusions point and what the limits of those conclusions might be.
Sorry, your headline isn’t quite correct. The war room is combatting factual information about oil and gas with misinformation.
Y~A~W~N...how many times has Trump West reannounced that? cdnpoli yow topoli vanpoli onpoli onted qcpoli eduqc abed abpoli ableg yeg yyc skpoli mbpoli nspoli nbpoli
Otherwise known as the “truth”
Kenny is not on the up and up?
Alberta Oil is the biggest polluters in Canada?
It takes three barrels of Oil sand oil to make one barrel for sale.
About time someone stood up for Canada
Edmonton Garbage goes into quicksand.
This is state-sponsored propaganda and he's going to use this platform to campaign against the Liberals. He's a very dangerous man.
Excellent news Premier!
To anyone against this see ElectionsCan_E ..Works both ways 🤔
So a spin machine?
If it’s a choice between the economy and environment I pick economy a million times over and billion times on Sunday. I have no dependents. You can not broke and alone in Canada, either one alone is easy but both, fu Canada. I am not sacrificing anything unless I get happiness
They really bought their champion this time.
Behind Jason Kenney's oily and well lubricated War Room door Fact-supression is the order of the day.
You mean his own misinfo?
with more misinformation
