The head of the Canadian Energy Centre (CEC) says a recent computer-animated Netflix family film centred on the exploits of the mythical ape-like creature known as Bigfoot depicts "misinformation" and "villainizes energy workers." The 2020 film, titled Bigfoot Family, sees the eponymous Bigfoot team up with son Adam to protect a wildlife reserve from an oil company in Alaska. In a letter sent to subscribers to CEC's email list on Thursday, the centre said Bigfoot Family was "full of lies and misinformation." Tom Olsen, the head of the war room, said the CEC responded to the film after a parent flagged it. Making headlinesIn his email, Olsen said the CEC has worked to provide information about the importance of Alberta's oil and gas industry to Canada's recovery after the pandemic.
