Well, in Calgary, that quickly rose to the top of the War Room’s priority list.
Kenney’s government, which tirelessly promotes fossil fuels as well as open-pit coal mining in the Canadian Rockies by foreign extractors, has accused the cartoon’s makers of “spreading misinformation about the oil and gas industry.”
Because the oilsands, as every Canadian knows, have never trashed anything.
Summoning every drop of its righteous vehemence, Kenney’s War Room wants TV viewers to sign a petition denouncing the evil children’s fare.

Inquiry Into Alleged Foreign Funding of ‘Anti-Oilsands Campaigns’ Will Soon Deliver Report
Alberta’s public inquiry into the role foreign money may be playing in undermining the energy sector will deliver its report at the end of January.
Accountant Steve Allan has been tasked with the inquiry’s mandate to examine “whether any foreign organization that has evinced an intent harmful or injurious to the Alberta oil and gas industry has provided financial assistance to a Canadian organization.” Special attention is to be paid to any Canadian organization that has spread “misleading or false information” about that industry, received grants from any level of government in Canada, or has charitable status in Canada.
