Jason Kenney’s so-called energy “war room” turned one year old in December, and even its own CEO admits the war room has had a rocky year.
The Canadian Energy Centre, described by Kenney as a “war room” to wage battle against enemies of Alberta’s oil industry, is structured as a private corporation with a $30 million annual budget funded by taxpayers, a creative set-up that allows the war room to evade transparency laws on how it spends public tax dollars.
