During the election campaign, Kenney pledged to fund a $30-million “war room” to respond to critics of the oil and gas industry, including environmental groups and Bill Nye (the Science Guy).
The energy war room is essentially a $30-million public relations
subsidy for some of the wealthiest corporations operating in Canada’s
oil and gas sector.

Energy Minister Sonya Savage
is reported to have said more information about the war room will be
released soon. Criticism of the new UCP government is expected to
increase as Nixon moves to repeal the entire Climate Leadership Plan implemented by the previous New Democratic Party government led by Rachel Notley.
It would appear that Postmedia is fishing
for a cut of the war room advertising money, likely for its “Content
Works” division, which creates advertisements in the style of an
editorial or news article. Literal fake news funded by taxpayers. The
whole thing stinks.
