Alberta energy minister defends war room petition attack on children’s Bigfoot movie
EDMONTON — Alberta’s energy minister is defending her government’s attack on a children’s movie about Bigfoot, calling its anti-oil message inaccurate and “quite offensive.”
Sonya Savage also says it’s critical to push back constantly against any false narrative that casts Alberta’s wellspring industry in a negative light.
Savage is referring to a petition campaign recently launched by the United Conservative government’s so-called “war room” against the animated movie “Bigfoot Family” put out by the streaming giant Netflix.
The film features talking animals and a domesticated Bigfoot character battling an oil magnate who is seeking to blow up an Alaskan wildlife preserve in order to gain easier access to petroleum.
