He also brushed aside a plea from the province's aboriginal chiefs to halt approval of new projects.4 v/ y, O( D; C/ S7 P& w

I'm in shock, even the energy giants are telling our government to put the brakes on oilsands development and Stelmach still refuses to do anything about it. Is he completely deaf/dumb/blind? I think the majority of Albertans realize that something needs to be done, whatever that something may be. I don't understand how Stelmach feels it is O.K. to be so careless. |
