A gay Métis Albertan is getting attention for a pro-oilsands ad he posted on Facebook that says lesbians are "hot" and questions why Canada buys oil from countries "that butcher gays and lesbians."

Robbie Picard said the post is meant to highlight and spark conversation about the poor treatment of LGBTQ people in energy-rich countries.

"My question to the rest of Canada, particularly Ontario and Quebec: Why are we getting our oil from Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, places that if you're gay, they will chop off your head?" said Picard, who lives in Fort McMurray, Alta., and used to work at Suncor.
