AB Today – Daily Report January 7, 2020 AB Today – Daily Report January 7, 2020 Quotation of the day “It would be funny if it wasn’t costing Albertans $82,000 a day.” NDP Energy critic Irfan Sabir ridicules the energy war room after its series of gaffes. ​ ​ Today in AB Premier watch Premier Jason Kenney is scheduled to meet with Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland in ​ ​ ​ ​ Calgary on Tuesday. The two previously met in the nation’s capital in November, following the 2019 federal election, with each saying they intend to seek “common ground” on Alberta-Ottawa relations. At the legislature The legislature building will be closed for maintenance on January 11. NDP calls on UCP to scrap contentious energy war room NDP Energy critic Irfan Sabir called on the government to disband its $30-million energy war ​ ​ room, following a series of gaffes he says undermines its credibility. Since the war room formally launched as the Canadian Energy Centre in December, it has been criticized for one plagiarized logo, another potentially plagiarized logo, its employees identifying as reporters and the performance of its content on social media. “The so-called Canadian Energy Centre spends $82,000 of Alberta taxpayers’ money every single day, but hasn’t created anything but ridicule,” Sabir told reporters at a news conference on Monday. “It’s done nothing to advance the cause of Alberta’s energy sector and has only, if anything, created a new platform for opponents of our oil and gas industry.” Kavi Bal, press secretary to Energy Minister Sonya Savage, defended the CEC’s ongoing ​ ​ ​ work. “The full development of an organization of this nature takes time,” he told AB Today in an ​ ​ emailed statement that also took jabs at the NDP’s record on the energy file. “They sat on their hands while foreign funded special interests attacked Alberta’s reputation — even appointing the likes of Tzeporah Berman to co-chair their Oil Sands Advisory Group,” Bal ​ ​ said. “This government was elected to defend the interests of Alberta and its energy sector. The Canadian Energy Centre will continue to work to fulfill that commitment.” Sabir said he doesn’t have a problem with government standing up for the energy industry, but he criticized the CEC for its secrecy and for lacking metrics of success. The war room has also attempted to intimidate critics, Sabir alleged, pointing to activist Steven ​ Lee, founder of the Foundation for Environmental Stewardship, who says he was contacted by ​ the CEC ahead of a talk he was scheduled to give at a Calgary high school. Lee said it was “intimidating” that a government-funded body would go after his work. Writers for the CEC are also facing scrutiny for identifying themselves as reporters and not disclosing the organization’s purpose when requesting interviews. For one of the website’s stories, a freelancer interviewed B.C.-based Donald Gyurkovits, ​ ​ ​ ​ president of the Canadian Culinary Federation. Gyurkovits said he felt betrayed when he ​ ​ learned the interview was used for political purposes. The Canadian Association of Journalists called CEC employees’ use of the term reporter ​ ​ “Orwellian.” Social media accounts run by the CEC have received considerable online scorn. Videos posted to YouTube were heavily downvoted and have since been deleted. The CEC’s official Twitter account has roughly the same number of followers (4,923) as one ​ ​ parody account @ABWarRoom (4,934). ​ ​ Sabir also called out inconsistencies in the terms of use on the CEC’s website, noting the CEC is mandated to be a “rapid response unit,” but its website claims its online materials may be out of date at any given time. The terms of use also say the CEC does not stand behind the “accuracy, completeness or usefulness” of the information it provides. “Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk,” the site ads. “That’s a lot of failure to pack into three weeks,” Sabir said. The CEC did not respond to a request for comment. Upcoming events January 7 at 11:55 a.m. – Calgary ​ ​ ​ Premier Jason Kenney and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland will meet at the ​ ​ ​ ​ McDougall Centre. Topics of conversation ● RBC Economics released a report, Navigating the 2020s, that predicts the upcoming ​ ​ ​ ​ decade will be “greener, greyer, smarter, slower.” ○ The report prognosticates that Canada will become an exporter of clean technologies to further reduce emissions — a prediction that coincides with the UCP’s goal of using TIER funds to bolster new green research and innovation that can be commercialized and exported. ○ “As climate concerns mount, Canada’s challenge will be to better sell ourselves as a responsible, cleaner energy producer,” the report says. “We already compare favourably to other oil-producing countries in Environmental, Social and Governance rankings.” ○ The report notes the top two costliest natural disasters in Canadian history happened in Alberta within the past five years: the Fort McMurray wildfire in 2016 and southern Alberta flooding of 2013 combined cost more than $5.5 billion in insurance claims. ● Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson, chair of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ Big ​ ​ City Mayors’ Caucus, met with Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland Monday for the ​ ​ second time since her re-election in November. ○ The two leaders chatted about housing, infrastructure issues and the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade deal. ● Well drilling activity in Alberta was down 22.9 per cent year over year in October 2019 ​ ​ compared to the same period in 2018. There were 408 active exploratory or development wells drilled in 2019 compared to 529 in 2018. ● At least 50 government agricultural researchers lost their jobs before Christmas, with more potential cuts in the future, according to the Alberta Farm Express. ​ ​ ​ ○ The government said it is shifting towards farmer-driven research, led by organizations such as the Applied Research and Extension Council of Alberta. ● The Edmonton Journal spoke with First Nations and Métis people who support the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ development of the contentious Teck Frontier oilsands mine. ○ The company has agreements with 14 Indigenous communities near the mining project, which McMurray Métis CEO Bill Loutitt said will increase employment in ​ ​ the area while also developing resources in an environmentally sensitive manner. ○ If approved by federal cabinet, the mine could produce up to 260,000 barrels per day. Appointments and employments ● Deborah Jaremko was hired as the content editor for the Canadian Energy Centre. ​ ​ ​ Jaremko was previously the oilsands editor at the Daily Oil Bulletin. ​ ​ .

  • What Is the Future of Canada's Energy Sector?
    PUBLICATIONS SPP Pre-Publication Series June 2021 WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF CANADA’S ENERGY SECTOR? EMERGING THEMES OF AN OPTIMAL PATHWAY Mac Van Wielingen AF-6 www.policyschool.ca ALBERTA FUTURES PROJECT PRE-PUBLICATION SERIES Alberta has a long history of facing serious challenges to its economy, including shocks in the form of resource price instability, market access constraints, and federal energy policies. However, the recent and current challenges seem more threatening. It seems that this time is truly different. The collapse of oil and gas prices in 2014 combined with the rapid growth of U.S. oil production, difficulties in obtaining approval for infrastructure to reach new markets and uncertainty regarding the impacts of climate change policies world-wide have proven to be strong headwinds for the province’s key energy sector. Together, the negative effects on employment, incomes and provincial government revenues have been substantial. To make matters worse, in early 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic struck a major blow to the lives and health of segments of the population and to livelihoods in many sectors. The result has been further employment and income losses, more reductions in government revenues and huge increases in government expenditures and debt. These events, combined with lagging productivity, rapid technological shifts, significant climate policy impacts and demographic trends, call for great wisdom, innovation, collective action and leadership to put the province on the path of sustainable prosperity. It is in this context that we commissioned a series of papers from a wide range of authors to discuss Alberta’s economic future, its fiscal future and the future of health care.
