Alberta's tax-funded climate denial "war room" ripped off its logo from a US tech company
The Canadian Energy Center (AKA "The War Room") is a taxpayer funded propaganda outlet that the Alberta government -- dependent on the tar sands, the world's filthiest oil -- funds to deny climate change. It receives CAD30m/year in public funding.
The least deplorable thing about all of this is that they're also plagiarists, having stolen the logo of Progress, a US-based multinational tech firm.
After a public shaming, the War Room has announced it will change its logo.
To help it choose a new logo, Twitter users are suggesting new plagiarised logos under the #WarRoomLogoContest hashtag.
