Some remembered him fondly as a leading liberal intellectual of the sixties and seventies, a worthy successor to CBC radio icon Peter Gzowski on the Cross Country Check Up show. But most focused on his years as a shill for the Alberta oil and gas industry and his headlong plunge into the murky world of alt-right conspiracy theories that included his hatred of all things Trudeau.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_63476\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-63476\" style=\"width: 274px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-63476 \" src=\"https:\/\/energi.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Rex-Murphy-e1715531463437.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"274\" height=\"379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/energi.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Rex-Murphy-e1715531463437.jpeg 273w, https:\/\/energi.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Rex-Murphy-e1715531463437-217x300.jpeg 217w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 274px) 100vw, 274px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-63476\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rex Murphy.
