When the United Conservative Party was elected, its leader,
Jason Kenney, promised to establish a war room in order to fight against
what it called misinformation directed at Alberta’s oil and gas sector.

Although not yet formally established, some of its first targets appear to be the media.

In
letters sent to Politico and National Geographic, Alberta Energy
Minister Sonya Savage pressed the government view of the industry.

In
both letters, she said one of her priorities is to correct
misinformation, although it’s unclear what she felt was inaccurate in
the Politico piece.
