Alberta’s Energy and Trade Policy Is Hurting Industry

New Report Says Focus on Short-term Gain Sacrifices Long-term Prosperity

Parkland Institute

Edmonton – The Provincial Government’s lack of a long-term energy policy, coupled with the effects of NAFTA and pipeline policy, is not only hurting industrial prospects in the short-term, but also damaging the long-term viability of our economy as a whole. That is the key finding of a new report released today by the U of A’s Parkland Institute.

The report, “Back to Hewers of Wood and Drawers of Water: Energy, Trade and the Demise of Petrochemicals in Alberta,” uses the closure of the Celanese plant in Edmonton as a launching pad for looking at the impacts of Alberta’s energy policy on value-added industries in the province, and on the future economic prospects of the province. The prospects are not promising. Read More

Jumpstart Ford: Day of Action and Greenfleets

From: Mike Hudema

Hello fellow Canadian activists, my name is Mike Hudema and I have just been hired by Global Exchange to work on the Jumpstart Ford campaign. I have long history as an oil and forest activist and currently live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

I believe you all were in touch with my friend Kate Woznow last year and to various degrees participated in April Fools day.

I am hoping to enlist your help again. Hurricanes are raging in the gulf, scientist are declaring that arctic ice melting is now so severe that we may be past the point of no return, people and cultures are being killed over fossil fuels. We need to declare our independence from oil and demand real systemic change from one of its biggest polluters, Ford Motor Company. Read More

Toronto, September 27, 2005 — The Canadian Environment Awards today launched its fifth year of environmental celebration with its annual invitation to the Canadian public to submit nominations for the Community Awards program.

The Canadian Environment Awards: A Celebration of Community Achievement is a national, bilingual program that recognizes individuals and groups of Canadians who have made outstanding contributions to the protection, restoration and preservation of the Canadian environment. The program recognizes several levels of environmental achievement — the Community Awards; the Citation of Lifetime Achievement and The Green Team Challenge, which is the youth initiative. A new honour, the Ideas for Life Award, has been added to the program in 2006 in recognition of the fifth anniversary. It celebrates efforts in the arts, entertainment and design that increase awareness of Canada’s environment (see below). Read More
