Alberta is shutting down the Canadian Energy Centre as a standalone entity, with plans to integrate the province’s so-called energy “war room” into an existing government department.

The Canadian Energy Centre (CEC), which was originally created to counter misinformation about Alberta’s oil and gas industry, will be blended into the Intergovernmental Relations department (IGR), a spokesperson for Energy Minister Brian Jean said in an emailed statement to The Epoch Times.
