My first monthly contribution as @ABEnterprise President in the Business in Edmonton magazine.
"On a checkerboard, every piece is worth exactly the same. That’s the design. Move one square, take what’s in front of you, and jumping your opponent counts as a win. You lift the piece off the board, and everyone watches you do it. Satisfying! Also the entire extent of the strategy...
A chess player two moves from check doesn’t smile."

For all the investors circling Canadian O&G stocks: Alberta now saying publicly that a new royalty framework to incentivize greenfield production will be announced in the coming weeks to help us double production. 📈
(For all the naysayers: this is what we did for the last oil sands buildout and it worked like a charm and led to the province’s enormous royalty post-payouts today)
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has hinted the province will announce a new royalty framework this fall to help ensure a West Coast pipeline happens, despite environmental laws already being rolled back. Why isn't that enough?
Smith says royalties "have worked in the past" and a way to ensure the "best investment climate."
Very excited to take on this new role! I am hitting the ground running with lots to come in the next few weeks.

Nenshi's next move, Erika @Barootes isn't impressed.
Naheed @Nenshi ran in Edmonton, took the political heat for it, and is now saying he'll run in Calgary in 2027. Erika's not buying it.

"Industry has been scared away by our regulatory system... It takes up to 20 years to build a mine in Canada right now."
@GitaneDeSilva, former CEO of the Canada Energy Regulator, says the federal government putting financial skin in the game isn't just about the pipeline, it's a signal to the private sector that Canada is open for business again. Whether investors actually believe it is another question.

"All of a sudden, all the Quebec senators' heads went up at once. And I realized, this was a jurisdiction thing."
Senator Scott Tannas watched it happen in real time in a Senate committee meeting, and says Alberta needs to develop that same reflex. Quebec plays the long game. The West is ten steps behind.

Fun chat re: senate with Scott Tannas.
"Being out of power was heartbreaking. Soul destroying. And the partisan games? I had no interest in it."
Senator Scott Tannas gets candid about why he walked away from the Conservative caucus after six years, and what he actually came to Ottawa to do.
