Jim Warren: Don’t worry be unhappy and support efforts to defend the energy sector in the West
As I once said, only somewhat tongue in cheek, the bargaining power of the West will increase as a result of a strong showing by the “leave” side in the Alberta referendum.

Coal Revival: RM of Estevan Reeve Jason LeBlanc gave a speech in the snow on Parliament hill in support of coal, now it has been saved
“We are over the top happy. The reason I say that is because the RM has been a strong advocate and been really pushing hard for the provincial government to get control of SaskPower, and they’re now taking a leadership role in common sense practice.” – Jason LeBlanc
Coal Revival: Revisiting Jason LeBlanc’s 2019 speech on Parliament Hill in support of coal and against the carbon tax
“In my hometown of Estevan, Saskatchewan, we are known as the Energy City. We are proud of that claim and proud of our city, but Prime Minister Trudeau’s policies have had profound impacts on our community. The state of uncertainty has clouded investments, killed jobs, eroded community support for programs, made it difficult for businesses to obtain and retain qualified employees, decreased property values and turned people’s dreams and hopes of an amazing life into a nightmare.”
Coal Revival: RM of Estevan lauds practical and common-sense decision
“This is a practical and common-sense decision that reflects a true understanding of the needs of both our community and the province as a whole.”

Regina Refinery at 90 and Devine’s Upgraders, Part 6: Were the Lloydminster and Regina upgraders enormous money losers, or huge successes? The conclusion
For all the political strife over cost overruns of the two projects as they were built, and their initial struggles, the added provincial royalties in the 21st century made up for that in spades. And the further investment in northwest Saskatchewan’s heavy oil patch has far outstripped the money spent on the Bi-Provincial Upgrader, even when you adjust for inflation.
