The CEC website, launched Wednesday, includes a story about an Alberta dad “irked” by an environmental presentation about oil and gas to his son’s class, another story tying artificial-limb advancement to the petrochemical industry and opinion pieces.
“If there are organizations that use their free speech to put misinformation into the public sphere, we will respond. That’s not attacking free speech, it’s responding to the content of the speech. That’s called public discourse, and the CEC will do it with respect, civility and professionalism,” he said.
The oil sector needs as much disruptive innovation as possible to let it stay in the global energy game, he said in an interview, and those technologies rely on investments from TIER.

$30 million for a Communication Centre. That’s a whole lot of nursing positions that could be enhancing healthcare delivery in Alberta vrs driving it into the ground. 😏
Only a right wing doofus would think throwing money at his little computer program is gonna make us intellects change our minds. Climate change is real. If he refuses to grasp that concept, he can be exiled to the wilderness when we take over.
Sounds like a lot of money that could have been better spent on healthcare and education
He cuts money to his province communities, but has lots of money to help oil corporations. Shame, people of Alberta should of known better to not elect someone who cheated his way to power, has no vision to his province, and talk hate and separatism.
Free speech advocate

I think they meant to print 'Energy War Closet'...?
I hav a question how clean is this clean energy? Most of it requires mining or toxic materials to make and process. So is it worse. I’m worried about what happens when this stuff is disposed of. Yes oil can be cleaner but it’s used in almost everything we use.
How's he going to take on private opposition? Like me. I oppose any new tarsands development. C'mon Kenney. Do your best to stop me and the many thousands of abpoli who agree with me
DoingItWrong
Creating jobs for his friends
Waging war against citizens ?
The most pathetic attempt from a politician to save face. Kenney is going down.
You spelled 'slush fund' wrong
Shouldn't Big Oil pay to attack citizens concerned about the planet's crumbling ecology, not taxpayers? Will pro-industry kenney use taxes to fight negative Yelp reviews next?
no thanks to what you are selling
What a waste of money. While he cuts services for the people. Typical conservative.
So jkenney is using more tax payer money on superficial concepts.
The eco activists who take yankee dollars with the expressed goal of interfering Canadian domestic affairs are nervous - especially because some of this money was used to influence federal elections.
OIL IS OVER.
I love the word he uses in the article discourse, you mean the open discourse you had when you deleted comments that were not favorable to your agenda just recently ? Only adding them back when you were caught?
Can I have that money? I'm only okay at Twitter, so I feel extremely qualified to run this War Room. ableg abpoli
Complete waste of taxpayer’s money. Kenney is a loser and Albertans need to wake up to this fact.
opinion: jkenney’s “war room” is a transparent attempt to spin Alberta’s fossil fuel industry into “green and ethical energy” while demonizing environmentalist as “foreign funded terrorists”. wontwork
How many times are you going to launch a war room to nowhere?
Why doesn’t he just ask folks and have junior staffers compile info? Seems like quite a waste of $’s.
Just another little boy in big boy clothes playing little boy games with other people's money.
jkenney has to do something about climate change hyperbole, which is getting more intense with each passing day.
...where 'energy' means 'oil' none of that badthought clean energy...
jkenney has to do something about climate change hyperbole, which is getting more intense with each passing day.
There’s money well spent 🤦🏻♂️
'The energy war room will champion telling the truth', Kenney lied.
Sounds like something Kenney would do. Honestly, I feel for Albertans who do not support the oil fields and are for clean energy. Not a great position to be in right now with this man in power. Plus oil supporters are very loud and vocal, must be hard.
Gross
The white male politician trying to maintain a resouce economy he refuses to grasp is in the throes of death. cdnpoli nbpoli abpoli
Who pays for him to be essentially a bloody lobbyist for the oil and gas industry? How are Albertans ok with this use of gov time and money? There is already a lobby full of high priced consultants doing this work, now the blatant favouritism towards rigs one industry is in view.
cuts services to taxpayers to fund the ministry of propaganda🙄
More like starting a war room to take on UCP critics. If it was being started to help Alberta interests why are the UCP going through so much trouble to keep its activity secret
Good
'Alberta Premier Jason Kenney launches fake business to spend taxpayer money with zero oversight'
Kenney for PM
Is this constitutional?
