Default Skewed Values of the Alberta Tory Government

It's this sort of negative characterization of the oilsands that has prompted the Alberta government to mount a $25-million, three-year campaign to boost the Alberta "brand" at home and abroad
So the government pumped $25 million into an Alberta marketing scheme so people will think the oilsands are environmentally friendly? Why not make them environmentally friendly first?

Plus I read an article about how Stelmach is denying the CHR a $25-million boost to open beds at new facilities. But they'll put this money into advertising Alberta as all Earth friendly, which is like trying to market that United States has good foreign relations.

How do these people keep winning elections?
