Canadian Energy Centre was created in 2019 to promote the province’s energy sector against environments, journalists, efforts from Ottawa to pass climate policies

The Alberta government has shut down a so-called “war room” it set up to target environmentalists, journalists and anyone else it believed was spreading “misinformation and lies” about Canadian energy.

Alberta’s Energy Ministry said in an e-mail Tuesday that the CEC remains an “important advocate” for Canadian energy sector, and its work to increase public understanding of the role oil and gas plays globally in a secure energy future would continue. The province said it would continue to “fight to promote the energy sector,” particularly in the face of efforts from Ottawa to pass policy – such as the cap on greenhouse gas emissions from the oil sands – which it says will cripple the sector.
