Ontario premier to investigate online game showing bombing of pipeline
Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne says she will look into an online game partly paid for and promoted by a taxpayer-funded broadcaster that shows the bombing of a gas pipeline.
A blog post supporting the game appeared on the website of TV Ontario. It also provides a link to the game, called Pipe Trouble, and offers a free trial.
A blog post supporting the game appeared on the website of TV Ontario. It also provides a link to the game, called Pipe Trouble, and offers a free trial.
But questions were raised on Thursday about the game’s introductory video, which appears to show activists protesting before a pipeline blows up.
The TVO blog describes Pipe Trouble as a “companion ethical game” to a documentary about local opposition to pipelines and the bombing of pipelines in Peace River, B.C.
