Ping to an article of interest? ...what oil companies and various Albertan interests are saying.

What matters to me is whether they are planning on breaking existing contracts or not.

If they are then they’re no better than the other lawless countries around the world from Russia to Venezuela.

Future contracts are always negotiable. Not done deals.

Is this panel on the take from the Saudis, or is it just like Teddy Kennedy in behaving that way?

We’ve had to deal with Devon Energy for several years now (since they took over Mitchell Energy). Devon is one company that will screw you out of your royalties in a heartbeat.

If Alberta politicians take the advice of the royalty review panel, "our workers, their families, and communities lose the best jobs they will ever have."

Sounds like the debate here in Alaska. Pols see the oil companies posting billions in profit (BTW, not all from AK) and they want a bigger piece of the action.

The oil companies are screaming mad, running ads every 5 min ont e radio & TV. Taxes are higher overseas, but the well placed bribe seems to take of that - and here at home as well, given the recent convictions of some of our state pols.

As pointed out eariler, the Eskimos are not bombing the rigs or kidnapping the workers as seen in Africa. There are costs, and then there are costs.
