Steve Halabura: Is this Saskatchewan’s next billion barrel oilfield? A peek at Saskatchewan’s “Northeast Oilpatch”

From here, its about another hour and a half east to Hudson Bay, and along the route you will see the main geographic feature of the northeast – the Pasquia Hills.

We all heard the stories – Imperial Oil packing up its offices, its rigs, and hauling off to Alberta the day after Tommy Douglas and the CCF won the election – and Saskatchewan’s resource economy tanking forevermore.
A true, or apocryphal story? Hmmm… lets see.
Brad Wall: It’s a very long shot but – How about a ‘Reset’ that could unite our country?
Senate reform. I was for it before I was against it. But I was still kinda for it – I just didn’t think it was ever achievable. (If you are wincing at how much that sounds like something a politician might say … well I was wincing while I typed it)
