A newly painted portrait of Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg was quickly defaced first with a pro-oil message, and later with a slur against the teen.
The mural was painted on a section of a downtown "free wall" along a bike path that runs parallel to 109 Street near the Alberta Legislature. Local artist AJA Louden has confirmed he painted Thunberg Friday.
A CBC journalist was shooting footage of the mural on Sunday morning when James Bagnell walked up with spray paint and began painting "Stop the Lies. This is Oil Country!!!" over the teen's face.
"This is Alberta. This is oil country. My father has worked in the oil industry. We don't need foreigners coming in and telling us how to run our business, support our families, put food on our tables," he said.
Bagnell said as soon as he saw photos of the mural on social media, he decided to go down and "deal with it." He said his father, who recently died, would have been "disgusted" to see the portrait of Thunberg.

What a nasty looking sour expression.
She’s just one foul mouthy kid.
What a nasty little person she is.
So, whose “artwork” was defaced by the painting of Thunberg?
"How dare you!"
Fabulous documentary. Thanks for posting that.
Trade Alberta, and British Columbia fpr spme blue border states. Alberta is like Wyoming.
A little of the Kristallnacht here. Ah well, the lefties have pervaded our society. Some have become them. imho
Is there something wrong with this child, physically and mentally? It appears so.
100%
Your cat may think it’s superior to you, but at least it doesn’t give you lectures on morality.
Actually mine does, sort of. Even with food & water in good order, if I fail to provide her a snack on demand, she lies down facing toward the fridge as if too famished even to rise.
Anyway, starting to feel sorry for little Greta. She comes from a messed up family & it’s hard to see how life is going to go well for her.
;^)
Works for me.
I thought it was Flames Country?
How very sad to lower ones self to their level......sigh....so VERY little class!
Agreed.
If one expresses a view or opinion - be it by word, drawing, picture, it had better agree with THEIR dogma. In any case pure vandalism. Bagnell may think he is a hero. Would not want to get on the wrong side of him!
Thats hysterical.
ROFLMAO!! That made my day!
Have you seen the excellent movie in my post 15?
They call it Oilberta for a reason!
