I had the privilege recently of attending the ARC symposium and listening to Peter Tertzakian speak about where the oil and gas market is heading over the next ten years. Mr. Tertzakian provided great insight into the influence of government policy on the oil and gas market as well as the over-reliance on oil as [...]

If this government had taken the environment seriously from the outset, Alberta would not be in the middle of an environmental PR battle and would not be straining credibility to prove that they are doing something for the environment. Unfortunately there has been a terrible lack of leadership, investment, and stewardship from this government. [...]

The Conservative government likes to talk the talk about economic diversification and sustainability, but when will we see any real action?

I witnessed tremendous progress [...]

The Legislative Assembly is set to begin Thursday, February 4th at 3pm. This is an exciting year of opportunities for the Alberta Liberal Caucus. As your MLA, and the Leader of the Official Opposition, I have heard from Albertans across the province that simply want common sense in our government!
We’re looking for [...]

The Stelmach administration is a new kind of administration for Alberta – one that governs by doing nothing and crossing its fingers, hoping for better times to magically appear. This is a time of great economic turmoil all over the world, and the Premier, having squandered Alberta’s wealth, just doesn’t know how to deal with [...]

Seems as though the government has a hard time covering it’s tracks these days.  This news seems pretty important to me, why is it just appearing on the 7th page?

Kirti Bhadresa wrote this upon arriving home from a meaningful first trip to the Oilsands.  I encourage everyone you know who hasn’t been there to read this.  As always, I welcome your thoughts.
                                              
This weekend I learned that there is nothing in the world to be more grateful for than the clean dry socks hidden [...]
