Canadian election stokes sense of alienation in western oil patch
Canada's federal election on Monday left the country's western oil patch without any representation in Ottawa, furthering a sense of alienation in a region already deeply frustrated with the government's energy and pipeline policies. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberals, who will form a minority government, failed to win a seat in either Alberta or Saskatchewan, the heart of the struggling oil industry. The party received just 13.7% of the vote in Alberta and 11.6% in Saskatchewan. The [Read more]

"Husky has been taking steps to better align the organization and workforce with our capital plan and strategy," spokeswoman Kim Guttormson said in a statement. The layoffs [Read more]
Trans Mountain pipe expansion in question after Trudeau minority
Analysts questioned the fate of the long-delayed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion on Tuesday after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau retained power but failed to win a majority, forcing him to seek the support of left-leaning parties opposed to new oil pipelines. Trudeau's Liberals will most likely need the support of the New Democratic Party and possibly the Green Party to enact key legislation - both of which are firmly opposed to the expansion of the pipeline, which will triple the [Read more]
Alberta, Saskatchewan go Tory Blue, face challenges with Liberal minority
Alberta and Saskatchewan were painted a solid Conservative blue on Monday, but leaders must now wrap their heads around getting resources to market with a Liberal minority government in Ottawa that will need the help of other parties to remain in power. Alberta Premier Jason Kenney campaigned for federal Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer and had called a Liberal minority the worst case scenario for Alberta, given the Bloc Quebecois, NDP and Greens stated antipathy to new pipeline [Read more]
Column: I wasted eight minutes watching that? Canada’s tough, tough road ahead
A great sadness swept over me when a respected colleague asked if I would write about the election. The feeling is akin to being a lifer in prison and having someone ask you if you would rather go to Hawaii next week, or Fiji. If you weren’t in prison. You’d just want to bash their head in with a rock (because this is a prison analogy), and while I didn’t want to bash anyone’s head in with a rock (for the most part), I had zero enthusiasm to offer commentary, and that was even before the results [Read more]
