Culture Minister Lindsay Blackett admitted he finds the $54,700 subsidy to the film Dirty Oil difficult to swallow, even though the money came through the Alberta Multimedia Production Fund he oversees.
At the same time, the province has pledged to spend $25 million to boost Alberta’s environmental image in the face of attacks on the oilsands.

Here's an interesting one for debate. Frankly, I'm glad there is little to no censorship by the AMPF at least at the early incentive funding stage. I don't like the idea of our own provincial government deciding what artistic content in films is worthy of support. It would open the door to the AMPF pulling funding for other films that might not jive with the PC party's agenda.
