    Cenovus reports second-quarter 2020 results Company captures value by leveraging flexibility of its operations Calgary, Alberta (July 23, 2020) – Cenovus Energy Inc. (TSX: CVE) (NYSE: CVE) remained focused on financial resilience in the second quarter of 2020 and used the flexibility of its assets and marketing strategy to adapt quickly to the changing external environment. This positioned the company to weather the sharp decline in benchmark crude oil prices in April by reducing volumes at its oil sands operations and storing the mobilized oil in its reservoirs for production in an improved price environment. While Cenovus’s financial results were impacted by the weak prices early in the quarter, the company captured value by quickly ramping up production when Western Canadian Select (WCS) prices increased almost tenfold from April to an average of C$46.03 per barrel (bbl) in June. As a result of this decision, Cenovus reached record volumes at its Christina Lake oil sands project in June and achieved free funds flow for the month of more than $290 million. “We view the second quarter as a period of transition, with April as the low point of the downturn and the first signs of recovery taking hold in May and June,” said Alex Pourbaix, Cenovus President & Chief Executive Officer. “That said, we expect the commodity price environment to remain volatile for some time. We believe the flexibility of our assets and our low cost structure position us to withstand a continued period of low prices if necessary. And we’re ready to play a significant

  • New Book on Irving Oil Explores Business
    New book on Irving Oil explores business Miramichi Leader (Print Edition)·Nathalie Sturgeon CA|September 25, 2020·08:00am Section: B·Page: B6 SAINT JOHN • New Brunswick scholar and author Donald J. Savoie has published a new book exploring the origins of the Irving Oil empire. Savoie, who is the Canada Research Chair in Public Administration and Governance at the Université de Moncton, has released Thanks for the Business: Arthur L. Irving, K.C. Irving and the Story of Irving Oil. It’s look at entrepreneurship through the story of this prominent Maritime business family. “New Brunswickers, and Maritimers more generally, should applaud business success,” said Savoie, who describes himself as a friend of Arthur Irving. “We haven’t had a strong record of applauding business success. I think K.C. Irving, Arthur Irving, and Irving Oil speak to business success.” Irving Oil is the David in a David and Goliath story of major oil refineries in the world, Savoie noted, adding it provides a valuable economic contribution to the province as a whole, having laid the in-roads within New Brunswick into a multi-country oil business. He wanted his book to serve as a reminder of that. In a statement, Candice MacLean, a spokeswoman for Irving Oil, said company employees are proud to read the story of K.C. Irving, the company’s founder, and Arthur Irving, the company’s current chairman. “(Arthur’s) passion and love for the business inspires all of us every day,” MacLean said. “Mr Savoie’s Thanks for the Business captures the story of the Irving Oil that we are proud to be a part of.” In his new book, Savoie, who has won the Donner Prize for public policy writing, details Irving Oil’s “success born in Bouctouche and grown from Saint John, New Brunswick.” The company now operates Canada’s largest refinery, along with more than 900 gas stations spanning eastern Canada and New England, according to Savoie.

    Fixing What Ain’t Broke The New Norm of Fixed-Date Elections in Canada GRIFFYN G. CHEZENKO, Memorial University of Newfoundland Abstract. Since 2001, legislation implementing fixed dates for general elections has been passed by the federal government, and most provincial and territorial governments. The notion that general election dates are now fixed, however, is flawed. In my submission to Changing Political Landscapes, I will explore the fledgling norm of fixed date elections in Canada and examine the aspects of the legislation which call into doubt the fixedness of these elections. With a review of the literature on the subject, I begin by inquiring into the emergence of this foreign phenomenon into Canadian electoral politics and the justification for its extensive adoption. Comparing the legislation across jurisdictions, I analyze the basic construct of fixed date election legislation in Canada, survey similarities and differences, and discover how fixed dates for elections are ultimately avoidable. As a result, I find that election dates are not truly fixed in Canadian jurisdictions where fixed date election legislation has been enacted. Introduction Since the dawn of the 21st century, fixed dates for general elections in Canada have become a widely adopted norm. Bernard Lord, the former New Brunswick premier, once opined that folks “like to know when the elections are going to be” (as cited in Desserud, 2007: 204). This is a familiar concept to Canadian voters because we are inundated with information about what goes on with our southern neighbours. It is rather comforting, as Premier Lord knows, knowing when an election will be, and that there is nothing those rascally politicians can do about it.

  • An Effects-Based Assessment of the Health of Fish in a Small Estuarine Stream Receiving Effluent from an Oil Refinery
    An effects-based assessment of the health of fish in a small estuarine stream receiving effluent from an oil refinery by Geneviève Vallières B.Sc.

Department of Biology Examining Board: Kenneth Sollows, Ph.D., Department of Engineering, Chair Simon Courtenay, Ph. D. Department of Biology External Examiner: Kenneth Sollows, Ph.D., Department of Engineering This thesis is accepted by the Dean of Graduate studies. THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK May, 2005 © Geneviève Vallières, 2005 ABSTRACT A large oil refinery discharges its effluent into Little River, a small estuarine stream entering Saint John Harbour. An effects-based approach was used to assess the potential effects of the oil refinery effluent on fish and fish habitat. The study included a fish community survey, a sentinel species survey, a fish caging experiment, and a water quality survey. The study showed that the fish community and the sentinel species, the mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus), were impacted in the stream receiving the oil refinery effluent. Lower abundance and species richness were found downstream of the effluent discharge whereas increased liversomatic index and MFO (females only) were measured in fish collected in Little River. Water quality surveys demonstrated that the receiving environment is subjected to extended periods of low dissolved oxygen levels downstream of the effluent discharge. The anoxic periods correlated with the discharge of ballast water through the waste treatment system.

  • New Brunswick PC Government Under Pressure from Provincial Liberals: Liberal Party Enjoys 11 Point Lead in Decided Vote, Time for a Change Sentiment at 56%
    New Brunswick PC Government under pressure from Provincial Liberals: Liberal Party enjoys 11 point lead in decided vote, time for a change sentiment at 56% Toronto – June 28, 2005 – Liberals are leading the Progressive Conservatives by 11 points among New Brunswick decided voters (46% Liberals – 35% PC – 17% NDP). Voters appear to be choosing the Liberal Party because they feel it is time for a change. Voters say they are not choosing the Progressive Conservative party because of the party’s policies (particularly healthcare) and its leader. The majority of people in New Brunswick want a change, saying that it is time to give a new person and party a chance (56%). Fifty-two per cent of the public also support a provincial election this fall to either confirm Lord’s government or elect a new one. Despite the mood for a change, PC Premier Bernard Lord enjoys a 6 point lead as Best Premier. Looking at leadership favourables, outgoing NDP leader Elizabeth Weir has the strongest favourable rating at 57%. Lord edges out Graham by 6 points in favourables, the same margin as on best Premier. However, Lord also leads in unfavourables with 38%, 21 points higher than Liberal leader Graham. A second finding that conflicts with the desire of change is the mood of the province. People in New Brunswick feel positively on the direction the province is heading. However, when it comes to issues of concern, health care, jobs and education are the most important to them personally. New Brunswick clearly appears poised for a close provincial election whenever it comes.
