It has been since the Leduc strike. When the petroleum is gone, the province becomes a ghost of its current self. The Saddledome is a very cool concept building, but it does need to be replaced.

Gurn Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/big-oil-to-rachel-notley-bring-on-a-carbon-tax-1.3084357 Big Oil is urging Alberta's new government to toughen up the province's environmental policies. To hear an oil industry chieftain advocate for a carbon tax, as Suncor's Steve Williams did in front of a downtown Calgary crowd on Friday, may feel incongruous, but consider who those comments were directed to — the NDP — and the situation takes on a tinge of the surreal. Oil industry pushing for carbon tax in Alberta It's the latest sign of how much the political landscape has shifted in Alberta, as well as the global discussion about climate change. 'We think a broad-based carbon price is the right answer.'— Steve Williams, CEO of Suncor "We think climate change is happening," Williams, Suncor's chief executive, told reporters. "We think a broad-based carbon price is the right answer." Seems that some big business agrees with them anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
