CALGARY—Alberta’s United Conservative government has opened its war room to take on critics it says spread misinformation about the oil and gas industry.

Premier Jason Kenney insists the $30-million Canadian Energy Centre is not a propaganda arm of the government and won’t trample on anyone’s right to free speech.
