“But before she posted an image of the decal, Narang says she called Sparrow and was told by him the company knew and approved of the marketing materials.”
"I was like, 'OK, so you're OK with your company being promoted with the image of the rape of a minor?”
"And his response was, 'She is not a minor. She's 17 now.' Then carried on by, 'That's not really what we meant.'"
EDMONTON -- WARNING: The content below may be distressing to readers.
An Alberta energy company has come under fire after its logo was displayed on a decal allegedly depicting a sex act with a female figure who appears to be 17-year-old Swede Greta Thunberg.
The image shows a pair of hands holding the braids of a female figure from behind. "Greta" is scrawled across her back. Directly below sits the logo of X-Site Energy Services.
A LinkedIn profile for a company of the same name, headquartered in Red Deer, Alta., advertises water management and high-efficiency frac fluid heating in Alberta and B.C.
Doug Sparrow, listed as general manager, has not responded to CTV News Edmonton's request for comment. A Facebook page for the company is not publicly available.
Rocky Mountain House resident Michelle Narang, whose sharing of the image on social media spurred a local social media storm, said she cried at the imagery.
It is not the only time X-Site has appeared to refer to the teenage climate change activist. Another social media post contains a photo of a semi trailer that bears the X-Site logo. A graphic on the trailer's side reads: "The Greta eco edition superheater. It gets screaming hot!"
Nor is it the first time Thunberg has been the recipient of vitriol in Alberta.
Counter-protesters met a Thunberg-led march when she visited Edmonton last October. Shortly after, a mural of her in central Edmonton was defaced with a message in French telling Thunberg to leave Canada.
Narang said there was no doubt Thunberg is the "Greta" implied in the decal.
"It says Greta… It says Greta on the tattoo on the small of her back."
Alberta RCMP told media on Friday an investigation concluded the decal "does not meet the elements of child pornography. Nor does the decal depict a non-consensual act that would be a direct threat to the person."
A spokesperson told CTV News Edmonton that after looking into it, Mounties did not find anything that warrants a criminal act. They are not investigating further.
